Damnit after reading the 5 books back to back in space of month, now have to wait several years before next book

this is worse than waiting for tv series at least you know those come within a year

arghghghg

i dont often read fiction lately but this series was good, very good, the 4th book is a bit meh but the 5th one makes up for it, i presume seasons 4-5 ~(maybe 6 since 3rd book is so big) of the tv series will be a mix of the 4th and 5th book since they run in parallel for most part and just divided geographically

If I see another joke or reference to the penis acronym I'll get very angry... you don't want to see me when I'm angry!

Bloody Hell A Feast For Crows is hard work!

Bit of a slog, but totally worth it for the Arya chapters. That girl's a champ.

Dades · 05-09-2011 11:31AM

But for every Arya chapter there's a Sansa chapter to struggle through. :pac:

Sansa's aren't the worst, theres Brienne wandering about all over the place like a wonky satnav, and being told by every bloke that she meets that she could do with a good raping.

Then theres pretty much anything to do with the Iron born who are boring as f**k imo.

Dades · 05-09-2011 11:47AM

^^ I'd take Brienne over Sansa any day (your honour...

)

Fluorescence · 05-09-2011 01:21PM

Sansa's chapters are ok in AFFC though. Not so :rolleyes: as her chapters in the first two books! Plus we get to see more of Littlefinger being a creep, which is funny.

Sonovagun · 05-09-2011 03:55PM

It's the new Characters that are hard work and

Hate the new style of chapter naming, The Queen Maker, The Solied Knight ect ect. Wish GRRM used their real names and I'd have gotten to know them quicker

Tenger · 05-09-2011 05:24PM

I don't mind that too much, it adds a bit of variation to the chapters.....

Surprisingly, I didn't find her chapters that bad... I feel a strange sympathy for her... doesn't prevent me from thinking "What a fool!!!" from time to time, though;)

I didn't like it, too, from the first time it began in AFFC.

07-09-2011 08:05PM

AFFC has become my toilet reading. The other books were awesome and took me about a month to read in total but this one just has no direction apart from Arya and has taken me about a month and a half and I'm on page 577. Brienne and Sansa are really annoying and so is Cersei

If I wanted to read about the role of women I'd have bought a book on the suffragettes.

Victarion is a nice POV character though. I wish they'd call the chapter Victarion rather than The Reaver though.

Still pissed off over that certain longsword aswell.

Someone please assure me that Arya will be in ADWD? Or that it's slightly better than this.....

Pentecost · 07-09-2011 09:10PM

Yeah she is, a bit anyway, and yes it is, IMO anyway

osh · 20-09-2011 09:41AM

Just after finishing A Clash of Kings, flew throught it.

I read them originally when they were first published but never got around to reading book 4 after the long wait. I seem to have forgotten pretty much all of what happens thankfully

Going to get stuck into A Storm of Swords now tonight...

You're in for a treat, ASoS is my favourite of the series thus far. Some absolutely jaw-dropping chapters in it - wish we didn't have to wait 3-4 years before we get to see them on screen... though watching them in my mind's eye isn't half bad!

me-skywalker · 27-09-2011 03:26PM

Brienne is ugly. Don't trust a man cause you ugly. Don't trust yourself cause your ugly. She travels far and wide and yet still she is ugly.

Boring... I couldn't care

What happens to her she's just a device used to get the feeling portrayed of the common folk and lower peoples of the riverlands, fingers, etc...

I wouldn't have thought you'd need to spoiler that :pac:. It gets a bit old to read every man she comes into contact with telling her she needs a good raping :rolleyes:. Also, GRRM says "Words are wind," "Much and more," and "Little and less," almost every other sentence. It's a bit much....

Sonovagun · 28-09-2011 07:40PM

I like Brienne, can't wait to discover what words she cries out

On ADwD now and it's much more enjoyable!

Pepe LeFrits · 29-09-2011 11:36PM

They're filming the Battle of the Blackwater at the moment apparently - that ought to be absolutely epic.

Yep just finished part 1, great book. Some amazing chapters in it alright

On to part 2 now

Hatgirl · 01-10-2011 04:17PM

Was anyone else at TitanCon? It was so cool to have so many GoT fans in the same hotel! I couldn't go on the coach trip, but I hear it was awesome *sigh*

Munster Blogger · 15-10-2011 06:32PM

Im afraid to search the thread in-case I see a spoiler. Does anyone know what date it will be back on TV

Zapp Brannigan · 16-10-2011 01:10AM

April 2012 I believe.

Somnus · 16-10-2011 04:42PM

Been seriously neglecting the thread since the end of the first series. Any cool/interesting announcements I should know?

Some filming got delayed in Belfast cause one of the sets blew away when we got the tail end of that hurricane recently :P
