Hi all!

I joined the community a while ago - I was a long time lurker at r/asoiaf.

Here’s my question for y’all: How do you feel about Young Griff ? I am still kind of puzzled at his inclusion. Kind of creating a plot line that might take tension from the eventual R+L=J reveal to Danny.

Thoughts ?

I mean, all the elements in the backstory are there, so It didn't come out of nowhere, but I agree that it could not pop up and not be missed. (I didn't see any of these things before a second read.)

While on the subject, a friend wrote a pretty solid essay that covers the possibility that Aegon is real and has been part of Vary's plan from the first book.
