NYRangers92 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 true, but it wasnt as cut and dry then as it was during the chapter I just read. I thought then they were just another race or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 ~810 pages into ADWD (seriously, someone, talk to me here) I'm starting to very quickly get the feeling that Stannis Baratheon will not survive to the end of this book. His time is drawing to a close here - Lannisters, Boltons, Freys, Conningtons, Targaryens...seems like everyone is against him. The Lannisters have been DISTURBINGLY quiet over the course of this book. That being said, I've come around on Theon again. He took Winterfell, yes, but he also gave House Stark its only real hope of surviving by ensuring Bran and Rickon lived. The treatment he gets from Ramsay Snow (fuck him, he's no Bolton, not like his old man is that much better) is utterly inhumane. I'm back in Theon's camp here. I hope to all hell he and Jeyne actually escaped and that the next enigmatically named chapter doesn't begin with "You're my Reek, it rhymes with FUCK YOU RAMSAY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well the Lannisters have their own problems, don't forget that most of ADWD is happening at the same time of the events in AFFC, so Lannisters are more focused on killing each other and on the meaningless plot against Margaery that backfires. And Ramsay deserves a painfull death. Still Theon is a traitor, at least now at his lowest point, he remembers which family was actually good to him.

H-Dreamer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 For the Republic ehm the watch. Still one has to admire the Caesarean death scene here. Though we kinda agreed for now that we haven't seen a dead body yet, so he might be alive. With timely help from Melisandre it could be possible. Knowing GRRM I obviously fear for the worst.

I'm done with ADWD so nothing remains a spoiler: A few thoughts: First off, everything is going to shit. Jon dead, Stannis dead, Kevan Lannister and Grand Maester Pycelle dead (by the hand of Varys!!!), Dany back in Dothraki hands....wow. Second - I'm 100% sure that Qyburn reanimated Gregor Clegane into Robert Strong Third - What's Bran up to? He's fallen completely off the map here! All I know is that I cannot wait for TWOW and ADOS now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Dreamer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ramsay's letter to Jon Snow That was just Ramsay lying. ;) Was pretty obvious for me, cause he would have had Theon and the girl back if he had beaten Stannis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm still trying to work out what exactly happened in the Epilogue of ADWD. Suffice to say, it's a truly evil cliffhanger knowing damn well there's no 6th book to confirm/deny my thoughts yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Dreamer Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 While I watch the latest production video of the second season, showing them shooting the "North of the wall" scenes on Iceland, I started thinking. How was the north described? Those pictures in the video are just snow and rocks, I kinda pictured more wood in my mind. What do people say that have just read the books?

I got the impression that the North was wooded near the wall, beyond the wall was wooded/mountainous/craggy and then once you started further north and west its basically a vast glacial expanse.
