Dear Friends and Family,
spoiler alert: I'll be talking about characters from the last published book. So, if you're not caught up this will clue you into who is still alive and/or significant.
The books are getting too long. The plot lines are getting too complicated. I can't see how the author is going to possibly tie up all the loose ends in the next two books unless the next two books are monster tomes that take many, many years to finish.
Here's a suggestion. Have some odd disease ravage the land and unequivocally kill all the characters except any character with a Y in their first name. Then, all the plot lines with the dead characters go away. There's still plenty of characters left to fight over the throne. But, we don't have to worry about the Wall anymore. They'd all be dead. We don't have to worry about Theon or Rickon anymore. Dead and dead. We'd lose the Jaime and Cersei stories. Dead and dead. Brandon. Dead.
See how much simpler this would be?
And, there'd still be plenty of people left to fight it out. You'd have Queen Margaery, Princess Myrcella, Queen Selyse, and Daenerys Targaryen. And, you'd get Alayne Stone and Arya Stark. And, Tyrion Lannister, Petyr Baelish, Ser Brynden Tully, and Varys would all make the cut. And, last but not least, Prince Trystane, Nymeria, and Tyene would round out the cast of characters.
Plenty to keep an interesting story line without complicating the writing.
Cheers!
