    That is cool I really enjoyed the development of some of the pov characters while others frustrated me. All that said I am ready for the next book :)

    Yeah, I hate to say it but sometimes Davos bored me in the previous books. I'm liking his chapters now. I wish we could talk about it already. I just finished one of Tyrion's chapters and want to discuss!!! No one I know has read them.

    Maybe I'm just lost, and this isn't a spoiler because the chapter is titled this but the Windblown chapter just put me to sleep!

    I'm almost done with book 4 and liking it more than I thought. Except - I'm getting annoyed with the books ending with something HUGE happening to a character and then the character doesn't appear in the next book. Like with one of my favorite characters (starts with an A) who I guess isn't in the 5th book. It was weird enough reading this one without Tyrion.

    Anyway, I love all the Iron Islands stuff and Asha. Can't wait for 5.

    Whew. Arya is so swell. I just finished the book like five minutes ago. I really liked it. (Cersei - wow.) Time for number 5.

    I got lots of theories. I don't want to spoil anyone though. pm me if you want

    Lizardjam I've always loved Davos and his chapters are great in this book.

    I love Mandarly. All I can say is THE NORTH REMEMBERS!

    I can't remember if they cast someone as Davos yet...was he in the second book? They all run together for me.

    I can't read this 5th book without picturing the actors. Danaerys..Tyrion...I keep picturing the hbo actors!

    finished the first book

    it took over, I think i was on page 200 last weekend and could not put it down throughout the week

    will probably take a month off before I buy the 2nd book, I have some books that I need to get through

    I'll let this story digest again and then tear through the 2nd book soon enough :)

    Glad you guys are enjoying the books. The first 3 are fantastic.

    I know what you mean about the books taking over. I could not stop reading them.

    I'm excited that Dragon Con is this weekend and they are doing a big Game of Thrones Panel Saturday that i'm going to check out and evidently they have about 40 people who are dressing up as characters for the parade saturday morning.

    Yes i am a geek and I'm excited about this :oops:

    I just finished A Dance with Dragons today. I liked it, but it's probably my least favorite of the five. It didn't have a sense of wholeness (does that make sense?) that the other books had. It felt sloppier, like it could have been shorter and I didn't feel that way about the other books.

    I'll still buy the next book but I hope it comes out sooner than five years from now.

    I agree.

    The next one will hopefully push foward.

    She looks the part- GOT has done a great job casting the characters.

    I'm about 1/2 way thorugh the 4th book now. It has not grabbed me like the first 3, but not bad.
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    She looks about what I imagined her to look! I likes! I hope she can say the line well also.

    I did see the grey's anatomy reference. I like that show too...It was funny.
