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!!!

Date: 2011-08-25 05:25 pm (UTC)Quentyn: I enjoyed a lot Quentyn chapters even if it ended that way. I do believe it's important to have some characters who just try and fail but in a very... almost simple way. Does that make sense? There's something so drastically terrible about how nice and innocent Quentyn was, how hard he was trying, how much he sacrificied not because he wanted to but because he believed it was his duty to Dorne. And then he becomes one of the very first victim of the dragons. It spoke to me. I don't like those dragons. They might be all gigantic and fierce and Dany's children but... after the Bolton's, they might become my biggest fear in those books. I have no trust whatsoever in theml and I really wish they disappear.
But I guess they will have some utility against the Others. I hope so because otherwise they should be dead rn.
Tyrion: Tyrion in the second part of the book is more tolerable imo. Penny brings out the best of him. Aegon too somehow ^^. Tyrion doesn't know that but he would make an actual good dad ^^. If only he wasn't so bloody obsessed with whores and sex in general :/.
Arya: I do get what you're saying. That ninja school is really creepy. But Arya seems so more at peace rn that I'm willing to give it a try. I just want her to be a bit happy and if it goes that way... well... the gold piece plan was quite clever by the way ;).
Victarion Greyjoy: IKR?!!! OMG how much I waited for those chapters! I was dying to get to his parts and see him get to Dany! I don't know where you are exactly so I'm not going to say anything more but UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #frustratedVictarionfanisfrustrated#

Date: 2011-08-25 05:31 pm (UTC)I am different m though: I love the dragons. I am such an animal-lover and I believe you can train any animal, if you start training when they are young. I think Dany definitely missed this most important task. and now, it is like with dog attacks: everyone ready to blame the dogs, but what about the dog owners?
I hope someone, like Tyrion, of Victarion (with his horn) or someone else, will find how to train the dragons, but the most important time, time when they were young, has gone already.
