A Song of Fire and Ice Series
Eldirial:
--- Quote from: est ---i am about halfway through the new book, and i can say that it feels a little different. it is focusing on the time just after the war, so of course it's going to feel different to the previous ones where action was always present or threatened. it is a bit different tone, but still definitely Martin. (nb: this might be because i am only about halfway through. i am pretty sure that there will be some action in the second half of the book)
one character from the past books (one of my faves, actually) is seemingly killed off-screen if a rather nonchalant fashion. i am not yet sure if it is true or if it's just a ruse, but either way it's definitely goddamn awesome.
--- End quote ---
I'm about halfway through also, and if it's who I think you mean, I somewhat doubt that they actually killed them like that. Perhaps, but I don't think that's really Martin's kinda thing to do- there is probably an evil plot behind it all.
Though, I must say even if the action is lessened, it's still a very good book so far, and I am rather enjoying it. Now I just hope the next book hitting in end of 06/ begining of 07 like I have heard is true- I don't feel like waiting all that long.

Man, I totally love this series. It ranks among the top of the lists for me.
I really like the way GRRM writes here, seems almost real. That and he's really good at making you love or hate characters (damn Cersie Lannister should die is the deepest pits of hell... the wench.)
But yeah, I've read the first three and I just got the fourth, but unfortunately classes get in the way with reading, so I might not get to reading it in a bit.
But as for what I predict/think. Jon Snow is not Eddard's son. But he is a Stark! I predict him to be the son of Lynna (Ned's sister) who was raped by Rheagar Targaryen. All through the first book, Ned is haunted by his memories of Lynna saying "Promise Me". I think the promise was to take care of Jon as well as have her buried in the Winterfell crypts (to cross reference you don't need to go far into the first book... like 45 pages).
As for what's going on in the south (and what I'll undoubtably find out in the fourth book) I bet Littlefinger has the throne on strings, but he's too clever to take it for himself. He'd just manipulate the man on there. That clever bastard.
What really interests me, though, is who will ride the dragons. Obviously the black is Dany's. I think Jon Snow/Targaryen/Stark will ride the green. And perhaps Tyrion the last. Never never never underestimate that man, he is cunning to the bone.
And poor Arya... I think that girl will eventually meet up with Nymeria... and they'll cause some big killing crazyness to go down. With both of them mostly mad and all.
Oh my... that was quite a rant, forgive me for being long winded... I'm trying to catch up on all I missed.
I just have one last thing to say "Long Live Sandor Clegane!"
RedLeather:
Oh my, has been a while, So a Dance with dragons is our new goal eh? Can't wait. Perhaps it will be on time? I really don't care, i just have to See this damed series to the end, it's like games, All RPG's right now (And some other games) are just looking sickly when compared to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Same thing with other books.
Long live The Hound!

O. M. G. i am so pleasantly surprised that this topic exists! i haven't finished the the third book yet so i'm afraid to read the thread, but i just want to echo the opinion of this series being awesome. have any of you played the board game "a game of thrones"? it's good fun, i made a t-shirt, black with the stark wolf in white, and a matching sweatshirt for my girlfriend for christmas. i'll try to post a picture sometime...
who're your favorite and most hated character(s)? i hate theon greyjoy, almost as much as i hate joffery, man i HATE joffery! my favorite characters are jon snow and tyrion :)
Justin:
