So, I have eagerly begun my reading of A Dance with Dragons. I'm thinking I'll try and savor this book instead of devouring it as if I were a starving dog and the book was a delicious steak. (mmm...steak)
The book starts in Martin's typical style...with a prologue that doesn't seem to connect directly to anything else that has happened in the books. It was interesting getting a PoV from Varamyr Sixskins though. That was highly unexpected. I was sure that he was dead considering the bird he was controlling got SET ON FIRE. So, we now know that a warg can survive it's host animal getting SET ON FIRE (as well as getting an axe through the skull and other things). Good to know in case Jon Snow is ever warging in Ghost and Ghost gets SET ON FIRE. Ahem...anyway...
What was clearly the most interesting part of this chapter was the end when Varamyr let his human body die and he permanently joined one of his wolves. I wonder if these wolves are ones we have seen before or have any relation to other characters. When Wolf-Varamyr looked down on the scene of the Others and Thistle's empty sockets were still glowing blue I gots me a chill.
I suspect the Others will play a big role in this book especially since we'll be getting Jon Snow chapters. Hooray!
