This is a review of "A Dance with Dragons" with spoilers. Coinsider this a spoiler warning. Let's talk about the awesome stuff.
As I said in my spoiler free review, Tyrion met someone very interesting in his travels east. That man was Jon Connington who served as Mad King Aerys Hand during Robert's Rebellion. He was traveling with Prince Rheagar's son Aegon the sixth. Who was assumed to be killed by The Mountain during the sack of King's Landing. That was such a big moment because that changes everything. We're left wondering how Daenerys will react to finding out that her nephew is still alive. Will she continue to push her claim on the throne, or will she give way to him? We'll have to wait until "Winds of Winter" to find out.
Another big moment in the book was when Daenerys flew on the Drogon's back. That was the dragon's first appearance in the book he was out hunting until that point. We didn't know if he was still alive or not. speaking of the dragons, Quentyn Martell was killed trying to free the other two dragons Rheagal and Viserion. I'm wondering if that will impact Dorne's alliance with the House Targaryen. Will Dorne be able to confirm Aegon's identity?
The big character drop I was referring to in my spoiler free review was Jon Snow. However as I said I'm not sure if he's truly dead. Even if he is he could be brought back to life. At the end of the third book we find out that Catelyn Stark was brought back to life by a red preist. Melisandre is still at the Wall, and I've heard speculation that Jon Snow will be resurrected as Azor Ahai. Who is spoken of in certain prophecies that he will be the Lord of Light's instrument to defeat the Great Other. She often said that Stannis is Azor Ahai reborn however Jon got a raven from Ramsay Bolton saying Stannis is dead. Obviously Ramsay is completely crazy so we don't know if he's telling the truth.
Also After retaking Griffin's Roost, Jon Connington and Aegon are planning to lay siege to Storm's End. Aegon informed Connington that he wanted to lead the assault. Obviously Connington wants to keep Aegon safe at all costs so will he lead the attack or not?
Lastly There is a lot of unrest in King's Landing. Three of the Sand Snakes are on their way to King's Landing. Nymeria Sand is coming to take the Red Viper's spot on the small council, Tyene is going to pose as a septa to gain information from the High Sparrow the same High Sparrow who Cersei had to confess to. Sarella is posing as a Maester in training at the Citadel, and Obara is hunting down Darkstar who maimed Princess Myrcella after their plot to crown Myrcella queen failed. This is all part of a big espionage mission to find out about the Lannister's plot to get rid of Prince Doran.
Those are all the major plot points and cliffhangers that I wanted to cover. I'm so excited for "Winds of Winter to come out." I'll probably be doing more book reviews in the future. I'm gonna be reading some of the Sherlock Holmes books I'll review those as well. Tomorrow I'll post my review of the Desolation of Smaug. As Always thanks for reading this review.
