This video covers every Westeros plotline I think will be featured in The Winds of Winter. I analyze and theorize about situations like Jaime Lannister & Brienne with Lady Stoneheart; Aegon VI Targaryen / Young Griff's conquest of Westeros; Euron Greyjoy's blood magic near Oldtown; what Leyton Hightower is up to in the High Tower, as well as Sam Tarly, Alleras, and Jaqen H'ghar in the Citadel; how Sansa Stark will progress in the Vale with Littlefinger; what the real Dorne storyline is looking like; and a lot more. The ASOIAF books are far more complex than the HBO fan-fic, and I know GRRM is hard at work on completing them up in his New Mexican fortress (I am delusional).
