A Song of Ice and Fire fans have been waiting for the sixth book in the series, The Winds of Winter, for nearly a decade, and in that time they’ve come up with some pretty complicated theories about what was, what is, and what’s coming. The depth of the series lends itself to this kind of speculation, some of it bonkers and some of it believable, and a good deal of it very interesting, luckily for us. In fact, the so called “tin-foil hat theories” are some of the best ways to pass the time as the wait for Winds continues.
These ideas start off as idle notions and with time bloom into wild mazes of unexpected delight, often supported by detailed analyses from the books that could have you questioning your reality…or at least the characters’ realities. If you’re in for it, put on your tin-foil hats and prepare to take in five of the most insane Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire theories from around the net.
