A Dance With Dragons ~ 71. Daenerys X *Discuss only this chapter and anything prior

One: Can Dany get pregnant again? Or was she pregnant?

Two: Uh oh!

I think the reader is supposed to feel a bit confused here.

To me it seems she just got her "moon blood". But just because you get your period does not mean you can conceive; women have all kinds of issues. But I do think there willl be more to this in the next books, otherwise GRRM would not have thrown that in there.

It's kind of sad hearing her thoughts about peace and what must be happening back in Mereen when we know the truth - there is no peace and things are very messy there.

"To go north, you must journey south. To reach the west, you must go east. To go forward, you must go back. To touch the light you must pass beneath the shadow."

I wonder if there will be significance to her getting her moon blood - could it have been a miscarriage since she doesn't recall the last time she had it?

Oh snap - Jhaqo is back!

Guys, I'm like 90% sure this is not her moon blood. I think she's riding the pale mare. I mean, come on, the thirst, the cramps, the diahrea (I don't know how to write this word lol sorry if I misspelled it)... Besides, she was drinking from the water and isn't that where everybody else got it from? Plus she's getting delirious.

Am I the only one who thinks this was too boring a chapter too close to the end of the book?

That is definitely a good point!

I agree about this chapter being at the end... what was the point? Her last POV chapter could have been earlier - she's been missing from Mereen for awhile now.

Re: Brianna
I think the point was that until that moment we didn't really know if she was alive or not. And we only found out at the end. But I thought it was super boring, 'cause nothing really happened, yet it was rather long.

Ugh! When I saw the last chapter was her I was excited. Half way through it and not so much. I wanted her flying back on a dragon and scorching stuff and we get this?

Well know we all know what happened to Dany after she flew away on the dragon. I'm not sure what the blood means - it also could have something to do with the berries she ate that made her sick? I'm sure the prophecy has something to do with this.

As for Jhaqo, somehow I think he's going to come over to Dany's side.

I do wonder how she's going to rein in her dragons though. I'm sure they have a bigger part to play than just lying around eating sheep. Maybe she'll use the horn that Victarion is bringing to her?
