Arya. She's too cool for school. Everything just falls into place for her, someone needs to teach her a lesson!

Like her dad being killed, or her brother dying, Mycah, Syrio, her mother, losing her sight?

Yes, she has everything and it's so easy for her :cool:

You show an incredible lack of regard for spoilers but you make a good point.

Anything she puts her hand to she becomes brilliant at it. Its all too easy for her character .She doesnt seem to struggle with anything, when Arya takes up

becoming a stealthy ninja!!

you just know she going to succeed. No-one ever agrees with me but I prefer sansa's character. Most of those things mentioned in the spoiler happened to Sansa as well; her character is portrayed as a light headed girly girl who doesnt live in the real world...yet she's learning the whole time about "the game" from her immersion into the lannister court and from

the master himself, littlefinger

.I find her gradual realisation of the truth of the world around her much more interesting than going

blind one minute then a few chapters later being able to see again.

I find Bran and Sansa very boring. I didnt realise so many people disliked Dany! Love her

Those things happened to Sansa because she was the moron who went to Cersei and told her of Ned's plan, giving Cersei the opportunity to totally screw Ned over. Had she kept her mouth shut, both her and Arya would've been safely on their way to Winterfell and things would've turned out differently.

On my first read I blasted through a lot of Danys chapters just to find out what would happen - not much is what I thought!

Same with Bran - not with Sansa (there's always something interesting going on in her chapters, and my favourite one in the series so far is her one in ASOS.

Then I read these http://meereeneseblot.wordpress.com/ and re read the books. I now find Danys chapters fascinating for what they do to the reader (they make us frustrated on purpose and make us want her to unleash hell).

And Bran on a re read (now that you know what happens to him) is a lot more enjoyable. There are so many subtleties and back story.

So while I enjoy all the characters for the role they have in the story, the one who I want to smack is Joffrey.

Because who doesn't want to smack Joffrey?

Dany!! Jesus I hate her chapters in the books. She's so naive and completely lacking in conviction.

Find Bran, Sansa and Arya chapters incredibly boring.

The Reeds are pretty annoying too, especially Jojen.

That little ****Lord in the Vale too...

Sure, i agree, but thats part of a sequence of events started by

John Arryn being poisoned by his wife at the behest of littlefinger

...a line can be traced back to whoever you want to blame.
Seeing your father's head on a spike and knowing you're the cause of it? I'd hazard a guess at it being no walk in the park.

I actually like Bran and even Sansa. Well, when I mean "like" I mean "find their arc interesting". I mean, they've been sh*t upon from a height so you can't blame them for being a bit depressed(ing).

It's Sam though.... Sam and Gilly. Oh GOD. In a series of books of unrelenting grimmness ANY Sam chapter has me reaching for sharp objects. And, during their trip, I was close to abandoning the book and series altogether. If I hear the work "Craven" one more fecking time....
