The new PoV has been revealed from people who get the ARC's...Do not read if you don't want to be spoiled...

Brienne.

My guess.

Boaz · 25th August 2005, 01:15 AM

What is ARC?

monkeydude · 25th August 2005, 01:19 AM

Advance Reader Copy.

Sword of the Morning · 25th August 2005, 06:40 AM

may be she will find the hound

Ender · 25th August 2005, 07:52 AM

Brienne sounds a bit boring to me...
Didn't like much when Jaime came back to save her.
Still she's stubborn and that can be funny-nice-to-read from her POV

We'll see...soon...

Duff_Omathum · 25th August 2005, 02:55 PM

It's Benjen Stark isn't it?

red_temple · 25th August 2005, 04:42 PM

I was *certain* it was going to be Patchface. Bah!

My guess.

Sorry, forgive my denseness, but has it really been revealed or is it just your guess? Or a joke? Im confused.

Here is a special preview of the new POV...

Walder

He knew the snow was more than discomforting to the frog-eaters. They were less concerned with the cripple and more concerned with their own safety... and that was fine with him. They would not be prepared when he dashed Bran's head against a tree.

Walder had always been an inquisitive child. Old Nan told him all the tales of the old heroes and that is who he wanted to be... the hero of the age. But he had found that all doors of heroism were closed to a lowborn stableboy... ambitious commoners only received beatings and derision. But it was hard to not be ambitious when you were a son of the king.

Nan, that old windbag, had whispered it to him one dark night. Her granddaughter, Sammi, Walder's mother had been a handmaid to Lyanna Stark. Sammi had accompanied Lyanna to the great tourney at Harrenhal. While Lyanna and the Starks were occupied with their own pleasures, King Aerys had spied Sammi and taken her against her will. Sammi returned to Winterfell a broken woman. Nan had talked her out of killing herself, but Sammi died in childbirth all the same.

The Starks never suspected a thing other than Sammi was a slut.

Walder wanted power, but how to get it?

The plan came to him in a flash... of lightning.

After being struck, he pretended to be a simpleton. People ignored fools and morons. Walder knew that he could gain access to the Starks inner secrets if people thought he was not listening. To pull the change in personality off, he repeated one word enlessly... hodor. In fact, people started calling him Hodor and few remembered that he'd ever been Walder... the Starks were easily misled.

And now the Horn of Winter or some other ancient artifact of untold power would soon be in his possession. All he had to do was wait... and these three children would be no match for his strength when the time came. The only potential problem was that damned wolf. Yes, the wolf had to die first, then the girl, then the mouthy, opinionated frog boy, and then the cripple. Walder would make Bran pay for treating him so poorly over the years. Bran would pay for all the Starks. No one would call him Hodor ever again.

LOL

I knew there was something wrong about that walder character, i always felt there was something sinister in the way he said "hodor"

Ender · 25th August 2005, 10:18 PM

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez !!!!!! !!!!!!

Never expected something like that

jnr_turtle · 26th August 2005, 05:37 AM

I'll sound like a real idiot if I'm wrong, but is this legit? Doesn't sound like Martin's writing at all, not to mention the fact that there seems to be a drop in the quality of writing...

I was just saying my guess before it was revealed. Of course the people on the message board could be lying but I doubt it...I think she will be fun.

Boaz · 26th August 2005, 02:46 PM

jnr turtle, that was just me making something up on the spur of the moment. I was trying to be humorous and not trying to seriously mislead anyone.

The day that my writing is mistaken for Mr. Martin's is the day that either he needs to quit or he and I need to switch incomes.
