A Song of Ice & Fire by George R.R. Martin: Book Discussion Thread

I can see Robb leaving Jon in charge of Winterfell and protecting their home, Bran and Rickon and the North. If cat's hating ass stopped that, Robb is definitely taking him South and making Jon his hand.

The ending that was supposed to happen @jay211 @Trav @Silkk @The Prince of All Saiyans

Walder was an idiot.

The Frey name becomes absolute horseshyt in the kingdoms up to a point that the Lannister reputation takes hits because the other high lords and the high septon aren’t as naive as the commons to not recognize Tywin’s machinations in the Red Wedding.

The Freys are even more dumb for not trying to reestablish their standing and show goodwill by releasing the captives they took during the RW. They have made themselves mortal enemies of not only the other Riverlords but the entire North as well..goddamn Martin, that lazy motherfukker..finish the motherfukking books bytch.

I’m halfway through re-reading book 1. When Catelyn takes Tyrion to the eyrie there’s a line that says “Sometimes she felt as though her heart had turned to stone”. Never noticed that little foreshadowing before

99% sure this is full of shyt, but I'm a Mets fan, so I'll live and breath off the 1% of hope.

What yall think

how many "production assistants" are there at a book publisher in 2026? I would had believe it more if he didn't include that part, that would make it pretty easy to identify, not to mention using fukking ***** instead of Reddit.

Jon smart enough to marry Frey's daughter instead of marrying for love. He doesn't have that Tully blood making him do stupid shyt.

Yeah, both Jon and Robb encountered girls who were on the opposite sides. Robb chose to marry his, Jon knew it wasn't going to work

Normally I would say this is ducktales. But this actually sounds very plausible. I've had a feeling he was done/or close to done with TWOW for awhile. But was sitting on it, because he was stressed out, how it would be received, and scared of the backlash (he knows the stakes are sky high with this and this is gonna be his legacy). I also believe it will be his longest book (so that tracks for me) as he is reluctant to edit things. Also, he might have been having a long back and forth with his Publisher on the length. They did compromise on cutting things from his last book/pushing things into this book, etc.
