I am processing the book in quickly-find-the-facts manner, and am dying to discuss



Jaime and Brienne: Well, Mr. Martin, good job you do not have any signing events in the UK because I would have definitely attended and killed you with my bare hands. 6 years of wait, waiting to find out what happens to Brienne, and what do I get? 5 lines in the whole book mentioning her name. Her meeting with Jaime, right at the end of the book where she outright lies to him, telling him that Sansa is with the Hound (which she knows is not true: Brienne doesn't know where Sansa is and she thinks the Hound is dead), although she might be leading Jaime to Lem who is wearing The Hound's helmet now.

Quentyn Martell: And what is it with introducing new interesting characters only to murder them in the same book?

Tyrion: Ok, I got to the place where it is mentioned that The Mad King Aerys fancied Tyrion's mother.

Arya: I must be in complete minority because everyone adores Arya, but I find her sotryline more and more disturbing. Faceless Men and new faces = yikes.

Victarion Greyjoy: Things are developing way TOO SLOW.

Also - Sansa, Sandor, Loras, etc. - not in the book at all , it seems. But I expected this.


Oh, Martin!!!

I thought to soo. I think it is a waste of time to introduce new charcters JUST FOR THE KILL.

I have read some spoilers that Tyrion is possible a son of the Mad King. Have you found this in the book?

Not yet. *still reading* But I wouldn't be surprised... I mean this would make him REALLY a great choice as future dragonridder, wouldn' it?
If he's also blood of the Dragon... :D

I would love Tyrion as a dragonrider, I hope this spoiler is true. I haven't got to that part yet.

If anything, this will explain why Tywin always disliked Tyrion, I thought Tywin was so family-oriented and there must have been more to it than just "he is a dwarf".

Maybe it will be important for the Martell storyline. I have no idea how Doran will react to this but I actually fear for his life and the news about his beloved son dead... Will he side with the Targaryens now that he will learn that Dany's dragons killed his son? We don't know how exactly the report will come. And Drinkwater seems to think that Dany was laughing at Quentyn.
