sadly truee. he’s going to be the reason dany goes mad. but i could hope

Eh I don't see Dany going mad in the books, I see Cersei pushing even more wild behaviour

idk i feel like tyrion might force her to do something crazy and the public will look at her as if she’s her father.

Yeah, I see this one but it will be more because Tyrion manipulated her than her touching madness. Also remember Tyrion knows of the wildfire under King's Landing and after what happened the boy who was refused by the village will most definitely be happy to see it burning

Book tyrion is nuts lol so different from the show

About 2/3rd through Feast for Crows now. Some non-spoilery thoughts:

• This book is definitely great. The iron islands stuff is top notch and is the highlight of the book.
  -cersei being all smug acting like she's a better ruler than her father is funny and entertaining. I know her downfall will come but I don't know exactly how.
  -jaime is also a top character. he's more interesting out in the warzone than he was in king's landing on the outs with cersei. his newfound noble perspective on life, brought upon mostly by Brienne, and his general cunning makes him a great character to lead us through war torn landscape.
  -brienne is also a good character but her journey so far has been pretty pointless. the book has already told me that what she's seeking isn't there for her to find, so her quest is known to be fruitless. I presume she'll re-encounter jaime in the riverlands and they'll bone and that'll be the outcome for this book. i wish she had more to do than chase kids who aren't there.
  -dorne is okay. I like getting perspective on what's going on there but thus far it hasn't been too exciting.

brienne and quentyn povs are pretty annoying, not sure if I would find them entertaining in a re-read

slowly but surely finished Feast for Crows. I liked it.

as I said above, one of my big complaints is that Brienne's journey led nowhere. I thought something would at least happen at the end, but it didn't. she ran into Stoneheart who is executing her. like wtf? I assume Brienne will survive but it ended as if she's really gonna die. that would make it a rather pointless quest she went on.

Cersei's story ending with her capture by the Faith Militant, and Jaime rejecting her plea for help, was a good ending for that arc. stupid stupid cersei.

Sam getting to Oldtown was a good end to his arc.

Arya didn't really have an arc per se but her training in Braavos was cool and didn't take up many chapters. it was lean and efficient.

Dorne, similarly, didn't take up a lot of chapters so I didn't have any problems with it even though the plot points weren't super interesting.

when I got to the final chapter (Oldtown) I was flipping back to the prologue trying to remember what happened and who was who. I still don't understand the prologue but it's provocative

I think the prologue is mostly about introducing marwyn the mage and the glass candles which is followed up on with the sam chapter.

What did you think of the ironborn pov chapters? Those were the high points of feast for me

loved em. I agree they were the best part of the book.

and yea the candle thing made sense, the part I didn't understand was who stole the master key to the city and how pate died in the prologue but then showed up in the final chapter?

jaquen

My assumption is that it was a faceless man

So women get naked in tapes?

FINISH THE BOOK OLD MAN

finally found a ktt thread for this, perfect! can’t wait to do my re read within the next couple of months and discuss with y’all

Discuss what lol

Im working on my first read-through now. Definitely post your thoughts/impressions itt. Been wanting to discuss some of the 2nd book’s plot points but highkey feel like everyone’s well past discussing ACoK by now 😬

Whose everyone’s favourite POV character to read?

Cersei . She’s f***in deranged lmao

Haven’t gotten to her POV yet

As of now mine is Arya/Jaime (working theough ASoS). Their’s are a perfect blend of cerebral moments and action. Arya’s arc throughout the first two books is

cersei, jamie, brienne, and arya are my favorites

cersei probably #1 tho shes terrible
