One of the most famous writers of horror novels of our times has ruled on Game of Thrones. We talk about Stephen King that, how could it be otherwise, has joined the monothem of the moment and wanted to make his predictions about what will happen at the end of this last season -that is, within only two chapters. He continues reading and sees if you think like him.
Attention: We recommend that you keep up to date with the chapters of the eighth season of Game of Thrones to read this article so as not to eat any spoiler.
The end of Game of Thrones according to stephen king
We all have our pools on Game of Thrones. As much as you are trying to get to the end of the story "clean" and don't want to know anything about theories, spoilers or even next chapter progressDeep down we have all thought about how everything will end. And basically that great unknown is reduced to two questions: who will occupy the Iron Throne and who dies and who doesn't.
At the time we told you that an artificial intelligence has been in charge of making its predictions, but now it is another who has also wanted to give his point of view. Nothing less than Stephen King, the famous (and prolific) writer of horror novels, who has spoken about it on Twitter, telling what he thinks will be the most obvious deaths and who will ascend to the Throne that everyone longs for.
Regarding the first, King is clear -tweet under these lines-: both Daenerys , the Jon Snow will end up falling -who knows if in the next episode or in the Season Finale- as well as the evil Cersei. It's to be expected that the Mother of Dragons doesn't achieve her goal, especially after seeing how she's been behaving lately and how they're letting us know that she might follow in her father's footsteps. Likewise Cersei Lannister should fall sooner or later, among other things, because Maggie the Frog always predicted three children for her (which she has already had). Yes, she could lose the fourth at any moment or, much more likely, she could end up dying and never give birth to her offspring.
Suppose–just suppose, now–that Jon and Dani BOTH died (along with Cersei, of course). Suppose–just suppose–that a certain little man with a big heart ended up sitting on the Iron Throne?

As for Jon, it would be too nice and easy for him to occupy the Iron Throne -as much as he deserves it- and he has the typical profile of a martyred hero who will end up dying for the cause.
More curious is the writer's commitment to who will sit on the iron throne. And it is that although he is a character that has never been ruled out, he is not the favorite to be the next king of the Seven Kingdoms either. We refer to Tyron Lannister, whom King calls "a certain little man with a big heart."
Stephen King ends his brief speech (which has had thousands of retweets and likes) pointing out quite gracefully that it is worth remembering that many people have always accused him of not knowing how to end their stories, but that after all, everyone has a opinion.
Of course for years some people have told me I don't know how to end a story. I call bullshit on that, but everyone has an opinion.

And you, what do you think of the novelist's predictions? Do you agree with the deaths and the reign that he predicts? what is your pool?
