mate, why just post this about every topic made?

Anyone think that the tv guys made GRR Martin hold off publishing anymore books until the tv show has finished so they don’t give away the end before the tv? It has been a long time now and as it’s such a big thing it’d make sense to release a new book now if it’s ready.

Feel bad that no one’s voting for Jon. Like, sure, he’s a bit annoying and stuff, but he is the leader of the side that we all want to win.

Anyway.

Favourite remaining antagonist?

Cersei
Night King
Euron (lol)

What Baratheons are left? Gendry?

whiterussian · 2017-10-24T20:29:42.709Z

Yep.

(And I mean, the Baratheon stag is still at King’s Landing in the intro sequence, because technically speaking that’s actually Cersei’s claim to the throne… But she’s all Lannister)

dingaling · 2017-10-24T20:38:23.464Z

possibly half Targ depending on which theories you read

Really enjoyed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms even if it is obviously ridiculously happy/light compared to the main series.

I’m hoping

The story concludes with the death of Maego...

Will be collected in a similar book because I don’t know that I want to read those three anthologies. I’m not WILD about anthologies. So much stuff and I tend to not get around to actually going into the work of the new authors I find because it merges together too easily.

whiterussian · 2017-10-24T21:57:46.008Z

hip_young_gunslinger · 2017-10-24T22:22:00.754Z

A slow-burning drama about the petty rivalries and internecine struggles of the swellsword companies in the Disputed Lands.

maggieloveshopey · 2017-10-25T19:39:49.154Z

These aren’t really stories, more like extracts from a made up history textbook. They are mildly interesting as background, but not much fun to read.
