alexandralI 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!!!

Now it's time to knuckle bite over his fate in book 6. Sigh.

However, I did think that Maester Aemon had a strong argument for Azor Ahai to be Dany. But I am sure Jon is going to survive in some shape or form, nothing makes sense otherwise.
However, I am a bit off my Jon love, the guy that plays him in HBO Game of Thrones does not do anything for me.
