Dance with Dragons

I finished the fifth Song of Ice and Fire book yesterday. I'd forgotten how different it is from the TV show. (Spoilers ahead...). Griff is actually Jon Connington, Prince Rhaegar's good friend, who had young Griff with him, whom he claims is Prince Aegon, the one the Mountain supposedly killed. Now since he didn't make it on the show, the internet (always a great source of trustworthy information, I know) is claiming he's a fake. I'm not sure, I guess we'll have to see how it pans out when (if??) Winds of Winter comes out. Tyrion still hasn't meant Daenerys, he's signed on with the Second Sons, along with Ser Jorah (who never got grayscale) and another dwarf named Penny. Jon Snow is stabbed by the men of the Night's Watch for letting the wildlings through the wall, as he's on his way down to Winterfell to see about King Stannis after getting a raven from Ramsay claiming he killed him. Ramsay supposedly married Arya, but it's not really her (we didn't see Sansa at all in this book). I loved how Melisandre kept looking into her fire and begging the Red God to show her the Prince that was promised, hoping to see Stannis, and it keeps showing her Jon and she's like seriously, fire, why are you being so difficult? Hahaha.
