...If George was such a slow writer then why were the first 3 books out within 4 years of each other, and the last 2 took 11 years??

Maybe because with every 1000+ page book, he is adding in quite a few more details that must be taken into account in the editing of the next book a) to make sure there are as few continuity errors as possible, b) to make sure they everything makes sense in the rather specific narrative that he is concocting, and c) the pressure to not let the storyline be disappointing to his fans keeps ratcheting up.

If you haven't noticed, the fans of these books are a bit OCD when they come to picking them apart. I just hope that GRRM can still write the story he was always planning on writing before he had 50000+ fan theories crowding his mind.

Shouldn't Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona be Dorne?? And the rest of the South the Reach? No way should Mississippi be Dornish.

And I would flip where the Eyrie and Riverrun are located in the map.

Agreed 100%

The South is The Reach no doubt.

Storms End should be the southeast. The river lands should be along the Mississippi. The Eyrie should be the Rockies. Cali should be the Reach, I mean wine and produce. The North could stay where it is or switch with all of the northeast because Maine is glorified swampland anyways so that could be the Neck. The Rock could be the northwest because of the western cliffs. That's really all I got.

Agreed . I think it's a great concept though...and the Wall=Alaska and Dragonstone=Hawaii are spot-on in terms of geography/weather.

Really??

Maybe there's a hidden copy of TWoW in there...

Also, am I weird in thinking that Sophie Turner is the GOAT of the GoT women??

Thread on the OT about the hottest GoT chicks

It is hard to say with the age differences. Sophie in half a dozen years might look better than Natalie Dormer did in the Tudors. But IMO those are the top two, until Arianne Martell is cast.

I'll reserve my judgement until further castings are made.

I always felt that the Dornish were Cajans that lived in the desert.

Pretty sure the Cranogmen are the closest things to Cajans....

Except they live up against the North, so they might get a little cold from time to time.

Sophie is definitely going to eclipse some of these chicks in the next few years and is more of a classic pretty . Dormer is already 32 & Emilia is 26. They'll all be in their mid-late 30s while Sophie will be around 24 when the series ends. I don't get the Dormer appeal but it's probably because I'm a straight woman.

Whoever they cast for Val & Arianne will give the other ones a run for their money.

ETA: I can't believe one of the posters rated Sibel Kekilli above Lena Headey. WTF?!?!

I saw that too. I follow both of them on Instagram and it's obvious that they've been fricking since they filmed S4 last summer.

I have my money on Val. She may be older in the books, but given what they've done in the show, I expect her to be closer to Jon's age.

---

Agreed. I don't think they're going to cast someone as old as Natalie Dormer to play Val. Ygritte was a couple years older than Jon, and Rose Leslie a year younger than Kit. They'll probably do the same thing with Val/cast her around the same age that Rose and Emilia are (26).
