I highly doubt he is dead as well.

Felt the first half of the book was just fuging book keeping. Last half was very fun.

As a character I thought danny took a step back, only to get interesting again at the end.

Dany's storyline was a plodding mule for the most part. I didn't think I'd like Reek's storyline, but his may have been the best of the book.

LOL DRAGONTAMER LOL

That was a great chapter.

Jon Snow may die eventually, but I think he's far too important to the series right now. Who is going to pick up that POV?

My theory that Varys prodded Tyrion into killing Tywin has more weight now.

Roose Bolton is lying to Jon Snow about Stannis im 80% sure about that.

Berninne was taking jamie to ole clayface or whatever her name is

Cersi is a waste of a character now imo. Is Robert Strong the Mountain that rides ?

Read he has 3or4 chapters of Winds of Winter complete, and no new characters will show up from now till the end of book.

100 pages of winds of winter already written, things that were pulled out of adwd

i'm not sure whether roose marched on umber's camp (or was it karstarks?) thinking it was stannis and rode them all down, but he most likely has mance as he says. otherwise how would he know who mance was?

the jaime chapter was pretty chilling. one of the stronger overall chapters imo as far as giving some kind of movement forward with those characters.

robert strong has to be gregor. no other real possibility there.

i love how the dragons made their lairs atop the pyramids of mereen

still unclear on what held the book up so long, and why he needed barristan's viewpoint to complete it. sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me.

and i expected a book 10 years in the making written by someone that does editing more often as not to keep his wife in pearls would be better edited and proofed

very disappoint in the proofing

I think so.

Still the best fiction ever, either way.

Ok, after thinking about it, it is impossible that bolton marched on stannis because if he had, he'd have his arya back. since arya is still missing, and it is known her and reek made it to stannis' camp, then there's no way bolton is telling the truth

Jon can't be AA and be dead, so he's not dead. Or won't stay dead. ;) Maybe a wight, but hopefully not. Hopefully he just managed to barely survive. I really don't want him to be in Ghost or whatever, blech.

also, Bolton was lying - Stannis is of course fine. The question is... why lie like that?

FINALLY finished...

Jon Snow isn't dead... I read it like the supposed death of Theon when Ramsay rode him down... Basically, you're supposed to think he's dead but he'll turn up alive later on... If I had to guess, the Wall POV in WoW will be from Melisandre and Jon... I think I read somewhere that there will be no new POV characters from here on out, aside from maybe prologues and epilogues, so that will only leave those two up there... right?

Jamie's chapter was awesome, but it pisses me off that GRRM is gonna leave us hanging like that (and maybe eventually Jamie too, lol, if he is indeed on his way to meet ol' Stoneheart)...

Not only was most of the Iron Island stuff still kind boring to me, but the whole Mereen stuff was just filler in my opinion... I'd have rather kept up with Tyrion a little more, or even Connington and Aegon's movement as opposed to the politics/Dany's wet dreams in Mereen... Dany's grown up a lot, but she's still immature as hell and I agree she took a step back before it seems as though she'll take a step forward...

Robert Strong has to be the mountain, and I think Qyburn will ultimately end up being revealed as a red priest that is in cahoots with Varys... I think R'hllor will end up being pivotal in the transition of the realm back to Aegon...

I also wish we'd have had a little more of Arya's stuff in this one, but I liked what we did get... Believe it or not, I'm actually curious as to what is going on with Littlefinger and Sansa now... Samwell as well, and the Faceless Man (maybe Ja'qen?) that is now pretending to be Pate...

All in all, ADWD was probably in the middle as far as my favorite books in the series goes... which still means that it is pretty much better than anything else out there...

I just hope we don't have to wait so long for the next book... not that I know what waiting is like since I just started reading aGoT in April, lol...

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
