How will Cersei's reign end completely in the books (not her death)?

Truth be told, she deserved it. She armed the Faith willingly, constantly refused to pay to the Iron Bank and attempted to stall them. She accused Margaery and tried to put a stain on Tyrell name, and she lost control of the Faith Militant almost immediately and had to perform the Walk of Atonement.

Even before that, in the previous chapters of hers in A Feast For Crows, she blows up the Tower of the Hand 'cuz she believed Tyrion was in the walls. Thought Tyrells were behind Tyrion's escape and they are trying to overthrow her (Gardener coin). It was a disaster all along. However, do you think she'll be forced to flee the capital or be exiled by Aegon the Young Griff in the BOOKS?

Was the search for Sansa Stark by the Crown strong enough in ASOS and do you think she's still being searched?

I just finished one of the Jaime chapters, which he returns to the Red Keep, devours Cersei, leaves the Sept and then talks with Tywin about Joffrey's death and his resignation from the Kingsguard... Tywin states that Sansa's maids were locked and going to be interrogated and made the maesters rip Joffrey's throat to see whether there was a blockage or not.

When Sansa enters the ship and LF welcomes her, he states that the City Watch would hunt her and the Master of Whisperers (Varys) would investigate as well. We even saw Sansa being transformed into Alayne Stone in the Vale and probably taking control in Eyrie. However;

  1. Is she still in danger? Is the Crown still searching for her?

  2. If so, why haven't we seen any agents of the Crown being noticed by LF's men? (Perhaps I didn't notice it because I'm still reading ASOS.)

  3. How can Littlefinger (I know he's DAMN cunning, started the Lannister-Stark war, helped kill Joffrey... but) , a Lord Paramount by a royal-appointment, hide Sansa Stark from the most powerful institution (on paper) for that long?

  4. Do you think GRRM's gonna kill Sansa off?

Who sent the catspaw to assassinate Bran in the books?

I'm so confused about this. In the books, it's heavily implied that Joffrey's the one who ordered it but still there are some elements that don't sit right with me. Let me explain:

- Joffrey's extremely spoiled and was a prince of the Crown. His swords and belongins were decorated with gold and he was surrounded by prestige and luxury. And yet he promised the catspawn a sac of silver instead of gold?!

- How did the assassin (a low-level and non-experienced) enter the Winterfell and sneak into Bran's room without even being sensed by Catelyn until being noticed? Let alone that, but a Great House is supposed to have DOZENS of guards.. did all of them went to the library at that time?!

- In ASOS, we learn that Robert actually thought killing Bran was an act of mercy instead of letting him leave with this misery. And in AGOT, the catspawn says "It's a mercy.. you shouldn't be here." Was this a parallel or a message? Perhaps Robert sent the assassin?

- Who would give such a valuable weapon to a low-level assassin? Even a stupid individual like Joffrey could've thought that Valyrian Steel would've been too suspicious and be traced back.

- Another theory is that Cersei gave the order to LF and the original plan was catspawn killing Bran and disappearing forever.

How much can the King of Westeros or Lord Paramounts renovate their castles?

So, we know that Westeros is a feudal society and the King's power isn't absolute at all. However, I wonder whether Joffrey could renovate the Red Keep or deconstruct some parts of it. Would the Small Council allow him to do so? What would the nobles say? What is the extent of this?

As for the great lords.. let's say Lord Mace Tyrell. Could he extend the walls of Highgarden, renovate the gardens and built even bigger ones, hire dozens of fools and jesters...? Would it be suitable in the pov of the smallfolk because they pay the taxes as well.
