No Spoilers Please

While reading this chapter I couldn't help thinking that we get a lot from Jon's, Arya's, Bran's and Sansa's perspective. But nothing from Rickon. Is it because he is still so young? Or is it because his character doesn't play an important role in the books?
I would really like to read something about him in the following books.
Arya has a wolf dream in this chapter ... Do all the Stark children have these dreams? I know Jon and Brandon have them. But we never saw Rickon or Sansa experiencing them, did we??

Yeah we know little of Rikkon.

He is just a little kid, if he survives, we may hear about him in later books.

thoughts while reading:

"There is death on the road, she told herself, death on all the roads."
I'm pretty sure Arya is the youngest in this little trio and I kind of like that she's in charge.
About the wolf: (view spoiler)[I'm pretty sure she's in Nymeria and I totally dig it. (hide spoiler)]

I miss those direwolves - when are we going to hear more about them?? (view spoiler)[ And what about the dragons? Are they grown up yet? (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, I think it's because Rickon's too young to realise what's happening. And Sansa lost her wolf, so... I think all Starks are wargs, whether they realise it or not. So far Bran and Jon are the only ones who are aware of their abilities (what about Robb? do you guys think he knows?), even though Jon has just discovered his and doesn't know how to control them. What I would've really loved is for Robb to be a POV character. (view spoiler)[Too bad he died... and shattered all my dreams of Starks conquering the known Universe. And also burst my bubble of blissful ignorance as to exactly how heartless GRRM is. (hide spoiler)]

To be honest, this chapter was a little pointless, plot-wise. Arya is probably one of the most bad-ass and intelligent characters in the entire seires, although she's... I think the youngest? POV character, and I find it particularly amusing that she chooses to end her prayers with "Valar morghulis" despite not knowing what those words mean. However, nothing really happened in this chapter, so I thought it was a bit boring.

She's definitely one of the youngest. I think Bran is younger, but I could be wrong.

I think you're right about the Stark being wargs, especially Bran, Jon & Arya.

I'm one those who is watching the series and in sync with the books, spoiler for those who haven't watched the series

(view spoiler)[ I just saw the second last episode in season 2 and realized, in TV show Lord Tywin comes to Harrenhal but in the books it is Roose Bolton who interacts with Arya, right? (hide spoiler)]

You are correct.
