A Song of Ice and Fire?
Alex C:
Yeah, it is easy to delve into, which is kind of a nice change of pace from authors that perhaps get a li'l too caught up in the history of their li'l fantasy lands. There's a lot going on, but Martin never pulls a Silmarillion and makes the characters secondary to the world they inhabit. It's not perfect, and there's some sideplots and silly sex scenes I could do without, but overall, I like the way it splits the difference between epic and low fantasy.

That's why he's going to die within the next two books and never claim his throne.

No no . . that's why it's called the Song of Ice and Fire. Daenarys is the Fire, Jon is the Ice! Jon can't die, nor can Daenarys.

I actually think Lyanna Stark is the Ice and Rhaegar Targaryen is the Fire. Everything that happened was due to their affair. It also aludes to the invasion of the Others and Daenyrs Dragons fighting them. Ice vs Fire. I think that winning that war will give Daenarys the Kingdom. Stannis has the right idea...save the kingdom to win the kingdom but is the wrong guy for the job. Jon will leave the post of watch commander to marry Daenarys AFTER the others are destroyed. There will no longer be a need for the watch after that.
I also think that the three heads of the dragons will be Daenarys(duh), Jon(he is half dragon), and Tyroin. Thats right the drawf will join Daenarys in the next book become her Hand and the dragons will love him. I love that little dude.

Have you been reading the same series as me?
Alex C:
George RR Martin will probably sink an entire continent now just because you said that!
Zack Wild was right; David Grohl really does ruin everything.

SPOILERS HERE TOO::
Seriously, George R R martin loves his little killing sprees of major characters, and its pissed me off and literally made me leave off reading the book for weeks at a time because I was so mad. Like when Robb and Catelyn died? Yeah, of course, technically she's back, but its not really her anymore in my opinion. He's also really starting to wear me thin on the subplots too, and I really wish he would give Arya and Sansa a break, have I mentioned that?
Yeah, I really don't think Martin will touch Jon's character or bring him to harm in any way. I mean, he's really the first character outlined and I have a feeling the series will end with him as well. Also Tyrion ftw.
