A Feast For Crows, speculation and spoilerage
Finished the audio version of Feast. Another book in the series that, at the very least, does no damage to my pet theories on the book, which I will present below:
1. Daenerys is not the Prince who was Promised, and in fact will not survive long after landing on Westeros. Why do I think that? Because in this world, the only way to stop being betrayed at a mere three is for the last one to be fatal, and also because Daenerys and three dragons beat any other conceivable alignment of forces too handily.
2. The Dragon has Three Heads: there are, in Westeros, three other Targaryen heirs, all bastards. One of them is obviously Jon Snow, who is Raegar's son by Allana Stark. That's the obvious one that everyone is supposed to figure out eventually. Presumably Howland Reed is the only person alive in Westeros who knows this. The second is Tyrion Lannister. That's the tougher one to figure out, but (1) Tywin always suspected him to be not his, and he's not a fool, (2) Tyrion was drawn to the Dragons beneath King's Landing, (3) Tyrion had an instant kinship with Jon, (4) Tyrion's hair is described as being even lighter than the usual Lannister blonde, edging toward the Targaryen white, and his eyes are split between the Lannister green and one black [violet eyes are largely interchangable with black ones.] The third I'm not sure about, but after Feast, I strongly suspect Geran, who certainly has the classic Targaryen appearance.
3. When Dany dies, the dragons will fly off, and later each find one of the heirs. Although one of them-most likely Jon's-may get snared by Euron's Dragonhorn on the way. At any rate, that will begin the War of the Three Dragons.
