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!!!

I agree. There are so many plots happening concurrently, that each book now unfolds in smaller periods of time-- and goshdarnit, I want to know what happens when Victarion meets Dany!
I adore Arya which is exactly why her latest turn of events is more disturbing every time. My heart breaks for her, for what she will become. A master of death and disguise, but potentially at the cost of her very identity... it would be freaky for any character (I am thinking of Reek too) but moreso because she's this little girl I just want to protect D:
I want to know more about Loras-- there was this one place were it seemed they were going to say more, but the person was cut off from finishing a sentence that sounded like it would have VITAL information. SMH.

Arya's storyline is so worrying. If it was anyone other than Martin I would have thought: "She is a major character. Nothing too bad will happen". But this is Martin we are talking about.
The news/no news about Loras were SO TANTALISING.
