Dance with Dragons: discussion

[alexandral]

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 think I feel the same about Cersei. For some reason, during my first read I counted her among the "players of the game", even though she is just another pawn, just like Ned, like Sansa, and the rest. Plus she definitely has some mental illness, and I the onset heppened long time ago

My hate is almost reserved for the players, for Baelish and the rest (though I find him incredibly fascinating).

On the other hand, yes, Cersei was the killer babies, she killed her friend, and harmed so many others. I am not as much conflicted as I can't take her seriously somehow.
