First, a few notes:
This book series is very overrated. Jorge RR Maertyn steals like the proverbial Raben other authors. The level of books flattens rapidly to endless soap opera, at the latest after Bd.3.
"Deus ex machina" - events will take place in virtually every book - usually a reliable indicator of a bad writers.
And yes: this criterion was introduced especially for fantasy literature!
Here, the thickness is already over sixty! Whether that something is with the volumes 6 + 7 (let alone serial novels for the unteachable)?
He's dead. He's not dead. He is undead. He was not dead, but one happened to be passing exact lookalike was murdered. etc ... and so ... tiring. But the next winter will come.
How this "action" starts at the end, is already clear as Kloßbrühe, at least for me:
Joffrey returns from the dead, changed slightly with his head under his arm and deep blue eyes. He is an unusually popular king, because his statements are utterly incomprehensible and anyway everyone does what he wants.
Suddenly there is a trap door, and up like Jaime Lannister come with his new great love, Brienne of Tart.
Jaime is out of breath and says with bronchial asthmatic voice: "I am your father, Joff".
Daenerys Targaryen and Aegon have finally reached the west coast after several months cruising and their ship wrecked in sight of the fort Drachenstein at a reef.
Lord Varys must sit idly by as the hopeful ship with all hands goes down.
Besides deep regret and the nagging doubt that all the intrigues were in vain, he felt an unprecedented excitement.
Daenerys and Aegon but are not dead, but being pushed by white river dolphins ashore where they are wrong by a deep forest. In the forest a gingerbread house with Melisandre is whistled.
Daenerys and Aegon go out and be eaten.
The witch bakes from both a huge wedding pie with lots of meat, because again swept from the dead ex-wife of Lord Walder Frey wants to marry one of her daughters.
With little finger Baelish.
Just by chance learn Jorah Mormont and Tyrion Lannister of the danger in which Daenerys floats. They rush back and come too late, because the raven has gone with the message.
You will not find Daenerys, but getting everyone an efficient piece of meat pie wrapped.
Sansa and Margaery have no luck with men and create the first same-sex partnership of centenarians winter.
Arya and Gendry are unemployed after the war and re-invent the machine-gun, with which you can practice smarter revenge. They are filthy rich, and open a petting zoo for Werwölfchen.
Jon Snow and his faithful companion Samwise Gamgee, pardon: Samwell Tarly [So easy you can make a mistake! A Varamyr there is. Ingenious, right?] Invent the eco-friendly refrigerator.
This consists of two chambers: one for perishable foods and a second, hermetically sealed chamber with a "white walker" in it.
This works without electricity - a goldmine. You may only not open the wrong door, but you will quickly find out!
Winterfell is rebuilt, as a winter sports center. Stannis is appointed as lord and humorless coach.
Meanwhile Joffrey has his father Jaime handed over to the post of "hand".
* Silly giggles *
Hand! Do You Understand ?
* Silly giggles *
Okay forget you's, forget it ...
Varys is trying to get over the loss of the Targaryen away by writing the first Duden. Against Gram quite miserable, he makes himself a clerical error after another.
For example, is from the correct "Ser" a "Sir", and from the "Maester" is a "master". Involuntarily, this leads to the first spelling reform in history.
Of the three dragons are untraceable. Rumor has it help in capturing the "white walker", but I ask you: How can a lizard but did not survive in the eternal winter!
Sometimes they are associated with in-laws, but on such chatter I'm not going to participate!
Bran's group meets on a batted from the kind of "white walker", which is anxious and nervous and somehow reminiscent of Woody Allen.
He asks him if this can bring his legs back, but they would keep him alive. The operation succeeds and Bran Hodor can bring the stranger to Jon, so that he can make himself useful as a cooling unit.
After all "white walkers" [The Others!] Have been converted into refrigerators, reverse Jon Snow, Bran, Rickon and Sam back to Winterfell.
This is currently under construction in the winter sports center. The returnees decide to build -Winterfell II to a new and better place.
What do they know: Your new fortress stands in the middle of an ancient grave mounds of the First Men.

Okay. I had to take a lot of beating for the non-serious post above.
For that I now tell the real end.

The original title is "A Song of Ice and Fire".
Since the solution already put in it!
Originally the book series was designed for 3 volumes, so much shorter than planned today. We have two royal children of bluish blood, which were brought to their heritage and wander around in a foreign country.
Jon Snow [Ice]
Daenerys Targaryen [Fire]
They are relatively early at opposite ends of the small world. Between them, in the middle, kindled a civil war in which just about all additionally introduced characters are consumed.
When Jon Snow will be put out yet that he is the "bastard" of Lord Stark's not, but was brought up just as his son, so to speak, was brought to safety [or in custody]. What exactly is behind its origin, I can only guess, most likely it is a biological son or a younger brother of King Robert Baratheon.
This had indeed Ned Stark [or Ed Stark] as the only really familiar throughout the empire.
The thickness [GRRM] has eventually realized that he has landed a bestseller and can be the cash cow be milked further, so he has the middle part of the history, the Civil War, bloated and decorated accordingly. Instead of the band 2, we now have the volumes 2-6 on the Civil War.
At the end of Daenerys and Jon will come together to form the new royal couple, as I'm absolutely sure [there is no other way]. What I value the television series, they are also popping before the camera ...
