Slight derail here... So, ADWD isn't out in paperback? Two years after release? Bizarre...
quote:I have no idea if Belwas was cast, but I think he can be left out and not lose much.
Arstin White Beard and Strong Belwas?

quote:You bring up interesting points. The last two (or possibly more) books are going to have to answer a lot. I honestly don't see how he will be able to wrap up this epic in two more books. In between re-reads, I spend lots of time on the Westeros wiki pouring over topics like the Blackfyre Rebellion and Dance of Dragons. Great stuff!
I did not recall there was a song called the Dance with Dragons that tells the story of a targaryen civil war were a female had a better claim but a second marriage son got the coronation and all hell broke loose. Kings guard against kings guard, real dragons against real dragons. After the war the targaryen family accepted the practice that a female Targ could only ascend if there are zero male Targs. SO, according to Targ law Varys' boy is more worthy than Dany. But he doesn't have dragons. Dany will take what is hers, but what is the point if she is barren? She may marry a westorosi lord(ling) to gain an army but her family line rests in Varys' prince. At first I was thinking she would kill him, but they truly are the last Targs and the last of valyria

I was watching the old Avatar cartoon series the other day and something struck me - Jamie = Zuko. He started off bad, now he's on his redemptive quest (there are more similarities but that's the easy one). And it really wouldn't surprise me to see him sit the iron throne when all the dust settles. I'm pretty sure it won't be any of our primary characters (Dany, Stannis, etc).
