Hondaracer, you are SO GODDAMN LUCKY we stopped you from reading all of A Storm of Swords by accident.
SHIT.
GETS.
REAL.
I just got to...
BOOK THREE SPOILERS
Spoiler!
Don't read these if you haven't read at LEAST 80% through book 3. I'm warning you!
Spoiler!
...the Red Wedding. Oh. My. God.
And right after that, it was DEVIOUS for GRRM to have...
Spoiler!
...Arya's part right after Robb and Catelyn's murder and "THE AXE CAUGHT HER IN THE FACE.". I was like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU since Arya was my favorite character...until I found out later she wasn't dead.
But when...
Spoiler!
...Sam meets up with Brann and his party...I was like YAYYYY!!
The show is now over and we can speak freely about book one spoilers, I'm sure. Agreed?
But if anyone says anything about books 2-5 without clear spoiler tags (preferably with reference to what book you're talking about) will be banned so hard...
I'm going to rename this thread sometime and put down a set of rules for discussing this series.
The first book just contains a lot more detail on many sub plots that expand later. Like in the books you learn more about Theon who becomes an increasingly important character in the later books. Same with Little Finger, The Hound, Bronn (Tyrion's mercenary) and a lot of the characters at the wall and at King's Landing.
These are pretty subtle but there are important facts here that impact things in the next book. Also it would be a REALLY quick read if you've seen the series. Since you could largely skim through some stuff.
It's just the sort of series where something small in book one turns out to be something huge by book 6. In the tv series they had to cull a lot of plot lines or it would be unmanageble for a show. In the book there's no such restrictions.

Things finally seem to be picking up for me...originally found the Greyjoy storylines kind of a grind but, man, oh man...Victarion and Euron are both badasses. And Euron's speech at the kingsmoot with a friggin' horn and his talk of dragons, omg...

I used to be able to blow through 300 pages of business law in one night, and book 1 took me almost a month to finish between work and everything else.
I wanted to cheer out loud at the end of Arya's first 2 chapters in Storm of Swords.
Spoiler!
For those who don't recall, she had her first warg dream, killing her pursuers, and finally met someone who recognized her, so she's almost reunited with her mom!
But knowing this series, the feel-good occasions aren't going to last long
Does anyone know who they cast for some of the new characters for the 2nd season? I think someone mentioned Brienne, I am really curious who they cast for her. I wonder if they are going to glam her up, or keep her true to the book.
If you like game of thrones on Facebook skinny they make posts almost daily with a big write up on the individual casting they are doing, who is going to Play who etc
So even now if u go like it and check out their page their wall should have all their updated casting posts Posted via RS Mobile
