thistlechaserCut for major spoiler near the end of Dance with Dragons. Assume comments have spoilers, too. Don't click unless you're in the last 10% or so of the book!
Jon Snow, you really know nothing now. Being dead and all. Maybe/perhaps/hopefully.
The spoiler I was tricked into reading was "I don't believe the major death at the end of the book will turn out to be real, the character won't really be dead". That was my first thought, too. I know GRRM killed Ned, but I almost think he likes Jon more? I don't know, the death just didn't feel as certain as it might. I'm probably/hopefully wrong.
I have no issues with Jon being dead. I fully understandable how it happened "ICly" -- in character'ly. He made so many major and perhaps questionable giant changes so fast, to an institution so old... Plus his intended running south with the wildlings?
I've never had any great love for Jon, so I'm not upset at all. I'm kind of almost satisfied, really. I could really see where the Night's Watch folks were coming from. And I really, really wonder what will happen to the organization now, with all the wildlings already there.

Is it time for the next book yet? I'm stretching out these last few pages as much as I can.
