    If you havent read all the books STOP NOW. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS


    Been meaning to start this for a while, throughout the books I ve come across some shocking moments. Some holy **** thats exciting, some holy **** thats disgusting.

    The absolute worst one for me was with the Mountain.
    Him and some of his men are in a tavern when the Father of the serving girl complains his men are harassing her, the Mountain throws coin at the Father, grabs the girl and rapes her there on the spot. Then asks for change as she wasn't that good and lets his men take their turn. All the Father can do is M'Lord the scumbag.
    :eek:

    Really was sick to my stomach reading it, actually am right now recounting it.

    So, whats the part of the books that got to you the most.

    Mentioned this in another thread, Book 5

    Killing off ned stark and khal drogo in book one were shockers.

    Given neds character and prominance I expected him to end up on the wall or leading a rebellion instead of robb and maybe having to help save the kingdom from below :

    Khal drogo was this "uber" warrior and the whole build up of him and his horse army being this unstoppable force waiting to pounce on westeros, then he is killed off

    I thought the
    Red Wedding
    was pretty shocking in and off itself, but then just after when
    Arya got hit with the axe
    I was gobsmacked.

    One of the biggest shocks was in the first few chapters of GoT and the first episode
    Jamie pushing Bran out the window.
    It really set the tone for the season.Another from season 1
    Ned's decapitation

    There were some great shocking moments in A Storm of Swords.
    The entire red wedding. Roose killing Robb and Grey wind's head being stitched onto his decapitated body was a grim surprise. Catelyn killing Jinglebell was odd too. I thought she would make it to Lord Frey. It was a nice relieve to see Catelyn back in the epilogue.

    The scences in the summer isles with Daenarys were shocking.
    The story of the unsullied training (killing puppies and babies). The attack on the Astapor slavers was great though. The 300+ child slaves used as sign posts between Yunkai and Meerreen.

    The death of Oberyn Martell was shocking considering his advantage.

    Tyrion's escape and confrontation with Shae and Tywin

    Wow yes and given the prior events that was a real shock as I really thought
    the dog had done her in there was a real surprise to see a chapter with her name later

    Catelyn Stark
    Went out to find the nearest late night Tesco for Feast for Crows, lets say I was bitterly disappointed.
    Jamie's hand
    was not expecting that.

    Just rereading Dance there.
    "Reek" tucking into a rat in the dungeon of the Dreadfort.


    Goes into absolutely morbid detail. The whole chapter really is unsettling.
