    Oh My God

    I just finished reading the part in book 3 where Robb and his men go to Lord Walter Frey's Twins for the wedding of Edmure to one of Frey's daughters and what.............the...................fuck

    I am speechless and blown away, I can't believe that the story arc went there

    how could Martin do this, and where does the story go from here for the Starks, this is unbelievable, I should of saw it coming with the scene's of Robb's heir but wow

    man, unbelievable, there is no character safe, and I'm kinda saddened

    Beyond a doubt the Red Wedding is one of the most jarring things i've read in a book. I was like WTF are you for real. I had to put the book down and vent to my roomate who had no idea what i was talking about.

    Jamie Lannister sends his regards........

    yeah jarring is a great way to put it, wow, I was really bothered there, lol, fucking great how books do that to you. These characters become so apart of your daily existence that you become attached to them. Nonetheless, I was seriously considering putting the book down for the rest of the day, but after a couple of hours a break I resumed, Lord Tywin what a brilliant strategic move

    that's funny how you had to vent to your roomate who was oblivious to this story cause I certainly can understand being floored by that part, I had to run right here and post right away cause I had no one to speak to.

    onward towards the end of Storm of Sords, I presume Jon Snow becomes even more important

    finished the 3rd book, wow, took me 3 weeks to read though but I could not read anything else for the last week

    that book smashed alot of character plots of where I thought they were going and where the story overall was going, so much impressed there

    Lady Catelyn at the end? WTF

    Had to read that twice to understand what was taking place

    I have 2 non-fiction books to read and then on to book # 4 in about 3 weeks

    i just read this part. i am speechless also and i cried. i couldnt believe it. holy fuck! and with arya so close and now in so much danger should it be revealed who she is. i have my own theories about how this story will pan out and this doesnt change that, but still.... im going back to the book now to read on... holy fuck!

    A Feast for Crows is good but just prepare yourself as you'll be reading about a lot of stuff in Dorne, Brienne, and other plots. No Jon, No Tyrion, No Dany, No Bran and very little Arya. So many of the fan favs are absent but it is still a good read.

    The stuff with Littlefinger at the end of Storm of Swords is interesting. He really is a puppet master

    I would be okay if Dany died. I mean it would be stupid for the author to bring us this far with her only for her to die now, but jesus i'm tired of her.

    Winds with Winter better bring the Thunder. I want shit to start going down.

    it would be great if she gains the throne without the dragons somehow.. there is something about her that annoys me tho. and i dont want stannis to be crowned king of everything if melisandre is behind it. as far as im concernd the throne should be gained by the sword ... not magic.

    Agreed with you there... She needs to do something worthwhile instead of pi$$ing around in mehreen... it's a waste of everyone's time. Your dragons aren't going to grow unless you let them out of the pits (my thanks goes out to the dornish prince), and they aren't going to do you much good in war unless you train them... if you're going to sit in one place for so long you should atleast have been working on those 2 points.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    well she may be a queen but shes still only a teenager, so theres some maturity and wisdom missing that she needs to gain before she can truly be QUEEN of everything. im hoping she allows jorah to return and help her find that maturity and wisdom she needs.... if not then i dont really care what happens to her.

    It's a toss up! Afterall, we have to credit some of joffrey's awfulness to his queen regent mother.

    joffreys a child. hes like draco malfoy... a product of his upbringing.

    you know its funny.. i was watching series 1 last night and cersei comes in to brans bedroom and talks with catelyn about how her own first born son died and how dark of hair he was, blah blah blah and i thought she really should keep her mouth shut. but i know from reading the books that she cant and she just continues digging a bigger hole for herself... and i LOVE IT!!!

    I was seriously devastated and had to read the page like 10 times. Fuck you Bowen Marsh! I'm hoping that he's not completely gone yet...when people 'go unconscious' like that they tend to come back, so I'm gonna hold on to that. This series is nothing without Jon Snow!!!!

    Agreed.
    I would like him to become ghost to warg into him and at least for a while and to go to Winterfell on his own and start ripping people to shreds as ghost.

    Then somehow he has to come back as Azohr Ahi (sp? been too long since i read it) that dream he had of him standing on the wall with a red sword..... gotta be him. I assume Melisandre will breath life back in him.

    IF jon is dead as in not coming back that is dumb.

    he's for sure coming back ... you pretty much need your head cut off to die in this series ... and even then ... there has to be a witness that it was actually that person ... :lol:
