Next shocking death?

That's just it. You kill Sansa and who else's POV will give us Littlefinger? GRRM has said that after ADWD, there will be no new POV's. Besides, I don't think GRRM would kill a character who has now come into her own and become very interesting to watch. Sansa will be a major mover and shaker in the next few books, like it or not. You watch!

No, knowing GRRM's style, it will be a character people have become attached to.

In order of their likelyhood, the next Stark death will be either:
Arya
Bran
Jon (he's low on my list because I think GRRM always bigger plans for the *******)
Sansa
Rickon

Agreed.

I think it's interesting that Littlefinger is teaching her so much, even if he is attached to her because of his love for her mother and the power she can bring him (Winterfell and the Eryie if his plans work). What does he gain by having a politically savvy Sansa? Is Littlefinger actually showing some affection and tenderness towards her (he clearly wants her) or is this another of his schemes? I gotta be honest he is one of my favorite characters, I wish he had a POV.

I've said it before and will say it again, Sansa is Littlefinger's Achilles Heel. She will either kill him or get him killed.

jaime will probably almost redeem himself and then he'll be killed off as dany wants his head.

I don't think GRRM is done with the golden boy just yet. Being relatively new, I don't know if anyone has talked about this yet, but Cersei assumes that the volanqar is Tyrion however I would personally love it if it ends up being Jaime. If I'm not mistaken, Cersei came first, which qualifies Jaime for the deed.

I also like Jaime dying for Dany, seems like redemption to me. His honor was tarnished by destroying one Targ and restored by dying for another. Though I doubt Jaime will actually ever receive redemption in the eyes of the public. The best I think he can hope for is a sense of inner peace before he makes his exit.
