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!!!

Still reading (about 1/3 the way through, unfortunately I have to work) but at this point I feel the book should have been entitled "Jon Snow is awesome and everyone else is an idiot".

I suddenly became very busy at work, so I didn't have too much time to read after my initial skim-it.

Do you like Jon? I like him a lot in the books, but became really disappointed in the show. I might love him again , in the new book.

I understand about being busy at work. At least it forces me to take my time and read the book a bit slower than I normally would.

I've always liked Jon - the show didn't change how I felt about him, good or bad. But I feel in A Dance with Dragons that I really love Jon for the first time. I think part of this is that, in comparison to the other narrators, he's way more awesome in this book. What he does makes sense, and I can't say that for, well, anyone else, really.
