Theon?? Blech!  :sleep

I can't wait for the next book, it has to come sooner than last time. The ending was crazy. I tossed the book aside I was so worked up!

yeah, i am hoping it is not more than 2 years....fingers crossed.

[spoiler]In spite of myself, I cannot help but feel a little bit sorry for Theon - even though he is just getting what he deserves.  Do you think this means that Ramsey was really lying about the death of Stannis?  I wonder if Jon Snow will survive that assassination attempt?[/spoiler]

[spoiler] I always figured that Stannis being dead was a lie, it didn't add up. And that didn't seem like an assassination attempt, it seemed like a success!

[spoiler]I am still convinced that Jon was the illegitimate son of Ned's sister w/the Targaryen heir (the one who 'kidnapped' her from Robert.  I am hoping Lady Melisandre saves him, and he is the 3rd head of the 3 headed dragon Danerys keeps going on about. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Yeah, my wife and I have agreed on that for awhile. It's why he never said anything to anyone about the mother. Because the kid would have been killed. I never bought that with Ned's code of honor he would have slept with another woman after being married. v[/spoiler]
