Also picked up something in the Dany chapter related to births. It appears Tyrion, Dany, and presumably Jon all had mothers that died on childbirth. Can you say three heads? Still skeptical on RT + LS = JS. Why would Rhaegar's siblings romanticise his extra marital affair. He died fighting for the woman he loved. Does not compute.

One of the things I was struck by on the reread was Martin's characterization of Waymar Royce. I think it's indicative of the way the series goes and it's one of the reasons I love ASOIAF so much. Martin sets him up the entire time as an arrogant son of a bitch that feels good to hate. But, when the Others attack, Waymar stands his ground and is really quite heroic in his actions. He's surrounded by an alien enemy, yet he faces them bravely and attempts to buy time for his brothers to escape.

Nice. I also like how that takes Aegon out of the equation. Presumably.

You also have to notice in that same passage that they mention "the woman he loved", but then mention Princess Elia by name as if they are not the same person.

The midnight flight to Dragonstone, moonlight shimmering on the ship's black sails. Her brother Rhaegar battling the Usurper in the bloody waters of the Trident and dying for the women he loved. The sack of King's Landing by the one Viserys called the Usurper's dogs, the lords Lannister and Stark. Princess Elia of Dorne pleading for mercy as Rhaegar's heir was ripped from her breast and murdered before her eyes.
