And then there's the subterfuge re: who is who.

Is Young Griff really Aegon? Is the Septa with him really The Viper's sister or sometone else... (Read that theory recently and... huh. Okay...)

Then there are all these theories about mechanations at "Old Town" and I'm like -- bejeebus, there was actually a point to that stuff? Because I was bored out of my skull and there was no obvious point to it and are they SURE there's a point to it or are they just hoping that there is?

While I can't even remember "Old Town". I think I skimmed that chapter, unless it hasn't happened yet. (I'm 60% of the way through, Dany has just flown off with Drogon.)

The Viper has a sister? Okay.

I'm having enough troubles keeping track of the actual plot threads...how in the heck do people keep track of the hypothetical ones?

At least I was able to figure out that Abel was Mance Raider in the Theon chapters - which have become rather suspenseful, although I have a feeling it will end badly. That's the other issue I have with these books - GRRM teases a lot but does not follow through. Will Tyrion and Jorah meet up with Dany? Doesn't appear to be happening any time soon. Will anyone get to their destination?

I do however have hopes that the Bolton and Freys will get slaughtered - just not when or by who. At this rate it may be by each other in the middle of a snow-storm. Sad - I'm rooting for the slaughter of a group of people. But the Boltons and Freys have become one-dimensional villains, and rather annoying ones at that - I just want them gone. Plus less characters to keep track of.
