Not the Neck. There's only one place in Westeros where there are cannibals (that we know of, anyway) and you'd need a highly skilled ship captain to get there. Though I want to know why the hell Osha took Rickon there. She fails in her duty of care assessment, I think :-)

Though if Davos meets Rickon next book and he's already won over an army of unicorn-riding cannibal warriors to do his bidding, that would be totally awesome. Though possibly not in keeping with the series' tone.

The Children of the Forest/Those Who Sing the Songs of the Earth are pretty much straight-up fantasy stereotypes, yup. Though I wonder if that's deliberate. Everyone thought they'd turn out to be long-lived pixie-elves and that's what they turn out to be. Except they have a network of bio-computers that look like trees, which is kind of cool. Seriously, Bloodraven being plugged into one and warning Bran he'll have to be as well was some kind of weird arboreal cyberpunk cross-genre thing if I've ever seen one.

Tyrion pondering in earlier books about all the great wonders of the world and his father refusing to let him see any of them is quite amusing to remember. Tyrion gets too see Valyria (or a bit of it) on the horizon and totally bricks it and suggests they sail further out to sea :-)
