ASoS Summary

So were have we got to?

Of the five kings fighting for the throne, Joffrey, Renly, Robb and Balon Greyjoy are dead. Only Stannis is left, and Tommen, but with Tywin also dead, it's Cersei left in the driving seat and we are under the impression that she is not the cleverest Lannister.

Jaime is still at King's Landing, so he might help her, but for now they have fallen out. Tyrion is presumably going to escape from King's Landing, but we're not sure yet since we last saw him killing Tywin and he might get caught.

Of the Starks, Sansa is stuck with Petyr at the Eyrie. Bran has crossed the wall with Coldhands looking for the Three Eyed Crow he dreamt about after he was pushed out of the window by Jaime way back when. Arya has boarded a ship and might be heading North to meet Jon Snow. Jon Snow has returned and is now Lord Commander of the Watch. We never did find Benjen Stark. Catelyn is in the woods somewhere near Harrenhal with the outlaws Arya escaped from. I don't know what became of Rickon but he's out there somewhere, too.

The Hound is lost and left for dead, but I bet we haven't seen the last of him.

Something is happening in the Iron Islands -- someone will replace Balon Greyjoy. I'm still not entirely sure what happened to Theon, but he might well be dead. Asha conquered some places but presumably she's been summoned back to the Iron Islands to help choose a new king.

The Wildlings are probably going to be allowed to settle the Gift, just south of the wall, because there are scary Others on the way.

Dany has conquered some places and is has stopped in Meereen for now, but at some point she will be on the way with dragons.
