A Song of Ice and Fire Thread (Spoilers)

[Reaper]

Hey all, this thread is for discussion of the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire.
I have a question to start some discussion...

Spoiler

Is the hound dead? What do you think?

Though there's no way of knowing, I think he's probably still alive. If I remember correctly, all the wounds were treated. Unless some sort of infection develops or he dies from shock, I think it possible that he's carrying on.

Spoiler

I'm more interested to know how many people think that Rikkon may play some role down the line, he's barely been talked about, he's been through a lot of pain, and if the motif of being like their wolf continues, Rikkon will be savage, like Shaggydog.

Quiet Isles in Feast for Crows, the gravedigger struck a great resemblance to him...

Spoiler

George R.R Martin has said that the final 2 books are going to focus most on the north and the white walkers. I can see Rikkon's role increasing.
