Man, these books are ridiculously amazing. God damn George taking months years to write the latest one, though.
To those who've never read it, it's basically a book series set in a low fantasy world with amazing characters, writing and PLOT. Lots and lots of plot. Here is the wikipedia article. It's one of my recommended reads (out of about three, the other two being Severian of the Guild and Prince of Nothing) and George RR is definitely pushing to be one of my favourite authors of all time.
If you haven't read these, I'd really suggest you do so, especially before delving into this thread. The book has so much hidden meanings under the wording (George doesn't believe in exposition of any real sort), even scenes that should be straight forward aren't.
Oh, and remember, never trust Petyr Baelish.
Discussion points:-
Who do you think it is? I have a sneaking suspicion that not everything's what it seems, here.
Servant of the Others, or just a powerful sorceror of some sort? There's a lot going on, here.
What do you suspect Daenarys will be doing with her black now it's eating kiddies?
I think, with the dragons bit, that its eating of babies is a natural part of its growing cycle, which she will need to leave be if she ever wants to reclaim her place on the throne and get out of the miserable South (not that she won't at least
try for a solution, but it won't work). Unless she puts its hunger to good use on bandits or something, which is a little crazy. Personally, I just don't think the baby eating thing is
that big of a deal in the book, I think it was mostly for flavor (heh, flavor, I made a funny
).
And, yeah, they
are ridiculously amazing, so stop complaining about
how long it takes him!!! I'm willing to wait patiently
outside his goddamn house until he finishes it!
Oh, and
still no one has mentioned the ice-people or
Others or whatever they're called, I think their freakin' awesome and now I think I'm going crazy because something
that interesting must not be in the book or
someone else would have mentioned it (hint hint).
And sorry in advance for using your page as advertisement, Pathos but;
I have a new twist on the "roll to dodge section" starting with a Wars of the Roses "roll to dodge" thread, combining the maps and diplomacy of Risk with the simplicity of "roll to dodge". Sorry again, advertising over.
