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!!!

NOT ENOUGH VICTARION! I was being all "but where is he?" during the three quarter of the book. But his chapters where PHENOMENAL tbh. Actually the Greyjoy's just were. Asha's, Theon's #clutches heart# and Victarion's. They were incredible to read and to live.

Quentyn was doomed :/. Pity because I really cared for him.

Lol the all Brienne/Jaime thing had me completely puzzled tbh. I didn't even understood.

But Asha has an OTP!!!!!!!!! I missed it on my skimming read , but someone pointed it out. And poor Thoeon, I know martin likes his "eye for an eye", but may be he has enough already?

I am a disgrunted Jaime/Brienne shipper.

She does sleep with a guy yes. But I absolutely loved Tries. I'm pretty sure everyone is going to ship her with the pretty guy because she obviously digs him and they have hot moments but I freakin love how selfless Tries love is towards her. He is keeping true what he said to her in book 4.

Jaime/Brienne was "wtf?" for real. I read the four lines and was all "oh well... that's some great informations here...*rolleyes*". He just trolled everyone ^^.

I thought her main problem with Tries (was this his name?) wanted a family and babies with Asha, and she wanted none of that. Or am I missing the point?

Trist actually. Tristifer Botley. Yes that's it: Asha is very free so I guess the all "marriage + nice family + babies" wasn't what she had in mind at that moment. She wanted more and she wanted mostly the good wealth of Greyjoy's so it explains the rebuffe. She does it quite rudely but then again Trist didn't seem to understand the nice way ^^.
Still, I found the way he stayed beside her without even judging her very obvious lover situation quite incredible. I compare the all thing with Jorah for example and I'm in awe. Trist is totally selfess in his approach.

Actually, I have read the scenes with Qarl properly now, I am so-so about them. I haven't made my mind fully yet, but I will make it afer I tdo a proper pread. I have just started with the proper read as I was busy at work.
