I'm kinda disappointed with how much more magic there is in the last few books of the series. I like that fact it wasn't really a part of the early books.

I agree. I thought he had an excellent thing going at first, then magic started getting introduced and it seemed to start falling apart. I will finish the series no matter what he does probably, it's still great. I just hope the last 3 books can be as engrossing as the first 3.

Magic was always hinted at, I like that it has been introduced slowly.. and basically once the dragons were born is when all the stuff started to happen.

And to not believe her about trying to find her daughters, just seemed so out of character to me. Maybe it has something to do with her whole getting killed thing. =)

Just finished the 4 books yesterday and got to read this thread. Didn't like any of the answers you got so I figured I'd try my own :P

When Robb was killed, the guy who killed him say something like 'Jamie Lannister sends his regards' then stabbed him through the heart. Brienne's been saying Jamie's name a lot when she's out of it, has the lannister letter, etc. Then she goes on to try and speak that Jamie has regained honor or something, and refuses to kill him. I'm not all that surprised Cat doesn't believe her, or believe in 'honor' anymore after what happened at the feast.

Any guess where Osha took Rickon? I was expecting a dream or something with the two of them in it at some point, but nada. Martin keeps making reference to Arya's direwolf too, I figured someone was about to kill it

White Harbor, because the fat guy was a loyal Stark vassal and they could be shipped off to the other side of the Narrow Sea if neccesary. They talked about it before the group split up. Incidentally White Harbor is also where the Onion Knight supposedly got his head on a Pike so...

The other theory about Osha and Rickon is they went to find Howland Reed(basically Ned's oldest and most trusted friend). Where could be safer for Rickon than the crannogmen's moving swamp city?

No way that's the horn. The real horn is the dinky little one Ghost found that Sam has now.

That doesn't really make sense though considering Bran is with Howland's children.

Wouldn't the kids suggest Rickon run to Howland given that they knew he could keep them safe?

Did they suggest that? The group is already split up, so unless they already suggested that, it's probably unlikely.

If Osha does get to Howland Reed, we won't be hearing about Rickon for a while. Howland Reed is the only living witness to what happened at the Tower of Joy :P He's the only character who knows whose song is the song of Ice and Fire.

Grimmlokk · 01-19-2007, 02:14 PM

GRRM pretty much confirmed awhile back we won't be seeing any Rickon for awhile either way. Part of the reason for the original 5 year gap was to let the kids grow up some. He didn't want to end up writing the Goonies with a bunch of child heroes.

I'm almost finished with the 3rd book-- what a bloodbath. The Starks are having one hell of time... Having said that, back to my addiction--these books are like crack.
