NO NEWS, SORRY IF ANYONE GOT EXCITED.
I read GRRM's blog about Fire and Blood and if he's not bullshitting about it I'm actually excited. He CLAIMS we'll find out A) Where Daenerys Dragon Eggs came from and B) Why Valyria became a place no man dared to go after the Doom. I'm VERY interested in the answer to both questions.
Pretty sure it is nuclear weapons.
I just finished a Dance with Dragons. I dunno. Seems pretty clear the direction things are going in. Can't believe he could just leave it like that for so long. Now that the show has fleshed out some of the plotlines, it should be pretty stright forward I think to finihs with a few variations.
Obviously, the Dorne stuff hit a wall with both Viserys and now Quentyn dying. Now you have Adrienne left. I did kind of want to see if Prince Doran ever gets anything out of his plotting. Seems he waits too long to act all the time missing the perfect time waiting for the perfect time.
I am actually pretty into Victarion. Having that hot arm is pretty cool. It is nice to have more actors on the side of the lord of light in the book. From the overall look you are getting from the followers of the lord of light, it is hard to believe he is a good god. Who is the other god against him, is it the Night King? That guy seems evil too though. The White Walkers are more mysterious in the book. Have to say I was pretty disappointed Jon didn't have that big fight at Hard Home. That was one of my favorites in the show because it really hit home about what kind f threat they were, but also that they could be fought.
The Lady Stoneheart thing is weird. She is a straight up Zombie, but it is interesting that the sort of revenge parts of Kat that set the whole thing off in the first place continue to wreak havoc.
Really like how they dealt with Drogon's appearance in the show. It actually made a lot more sense than the storyline in the book. Just seems convoluted for Tyrion and Mormont to escape to the second sons. It would have been better if they came back in the slave pits like in the show. I liked the Dornishmen trying to steal the dragons and Quentyn getting his eyeballs melted. Just kind of set up how the Dragons liking Jon Snow was a big deal later.
Sad that beefy occultist Maester didn't show up in Dnac eof Dragons at any time. Would have been nice to see him arriving there from Old town at the same time as Victarion and Dany coming back with the Dothraki. You are right that was a good storyline with the pig being a faceless man and Sam thinking he is suspicious.
