Brienne might be "make it or break it" character for me, especially for the seasons 2 and 3. If I don't like her, I might lose the interest.

Jon, I definitely gave up on him ** laughs **. I have learned to like the show's Jon, but I will never be mad about him.

Martin has promised to reveal more about Jon's mother in the future book, but we know this might mean anything. And I have always been interested about Ashara's story too.
