A song of Ice and fire discussion (spoilers incl A Dance with Dragons)

['thul]

Spoiler

These beings are unsure about how any plot will turn out, but they were most pleased with the many well-laid-out and obvious plot lines that Martin as usual tore to shreds.

They suspect that the presence of Drogon with Daenerys may convince a certain Khal that serving her is a very good idea. Just imagine a Dothraki horde attacking a city, only to have the prepared defenders lit on fire from above...

The main problem 'thul see in Daenerys is that she's too afraid to commit, she doesn't know truly what she wants... She is also very inexperienced in the ways of the world. If the khal plotline shifts as these beings think, then the battle for Meereen will go very badly for the slavers. Especially if Tyrion and such convince the sellswords to switch sides.

Bran might turn out to have very much power, though mainly focused in the north, seeing that weirwoods have been chopped down in the south. While they are natural deposits of the past, incapable of changing it, they also appear to be a conduit through which he can talk to others.

Ramsay appears to have tried a ploy beyond his knowledge. He claimed to have slain Stannis and lost his bride, yet the reader knows that the bride is in the same camp as Stannis. As for whether he has Mance, that is likely, yet how would he know for sure it were Mance?

Their favorite character is without a doubt no one. A religion that deals in death, both peaceful and unexpected is excellent for thinking on. The magical nature of their priests also helps. The many faces are logical in hindsight, but were not expected to be that way. It is fairly obvious that She will have some important role in the next book or so. Whom she is, is not for anyone to know. These beings do wonder when and how priest(esse)s of the many-faced God learn to control their many faces.
