Now it begins.... No, now it ends (or the other way round)

Did anyone count all the Pat(e)s in this book ? Not counting the Faceless Man...

All right, I'll start with Brienne because that was the part I liked the more. Overall she was the character doing to most in this book. It was fun. I loved seeing Pod getting on with her, and the knight who followed her made for a nice touch too. I don't believe Brienne's dead, obviously.

Jaime, was much sourer that she was before, wasn't he ? Still fun to read about, but painful too.

I do wonder what the hell he's written in the book. He's being quite keen on reminding people to read it.

Davos *sobs*

I absolutly adored Littlefinger all through this book. God I'd have forgotten how the man was so clever. Despisable, but much too clever for me not to love ^^
I was quite happy to see Sansa prooving once and for all that she's not stupid. I was getting tired of having to tell people that.

I liked Arya's chapter for the setting exposition. Otherwise nothing much to note. I'm starting to think one day Arya will make a good Mistress of Spies.

Samwell was remarkadely nice to read about (I didn't like his chapters much in ASOS) I had never believed he'd got to Oldtown before and was surprised by that turn ^^ I loved most pecks of the Citadelle in general.

I didn't much like most of the Greyjoy chapters, but they did increase my likeness for Asha (who I didn't like before)

Cersei was a pest to read. I've never hated the patethic woman but now I believe I'll rejoyce when she'll die just because that means I won't have to read her chapter anymore GHAH I don't believe Tyrion will kill her, though, so that means either Jaimy-boy himself or a Tywin's bastard.

I liked Arianne a great deal, much more than I feared I would. I'm glad to see that the Dornishmen do not dispoint me on that subject, given how much I liked Oberyn ^^

I have no opinion on Sandor's death or non state of death. I went back and forth at least a dozen times in the book thinking either. I don't understand going through all this to have him be dead, but I don't exactly understand hammering his death so much either. I'm sure others will do great theories on the subject, I don't do good theories especially not while reading, I only do gut feelings.

oh, Ae, Sandor is not dead for sure, trust my gut feeling. The novice digging a grave who is taller even than Brienne? His horse, how the elder brother knows all the story of Arya and all, how the elder brother says he is at peace now? Hmph, if he is really dead, I will dunno, I will post a cat picture on my LJ. oh wait, have done that, but will do it on purpose now.

I liked Sam very much, even more all the time - only thing annoyed me was he blabbling to the sphinx. Sansa is showing some spine, Cersei is so amazingly horrible and evil without any such conscience! When she tries to pull that Tower of Nesle affair, oh, boy was hoping anybody would strangle her.

Yeah, i've read all of SKD posts about that ^^

Now I'm worrying at the amound of presumed dead people who might turn out to not be. It just seems too many, even if I don't want any of them to be, you see what I mean ?

lol, Sam did spill his guts pretty easily. I liked the Sphinx so i didn't mind.

Bah, I don't dislike Cersei for her lack of morals, I dislike her for her like of wits. She was so annoying in a paranoid-dimwitted way. I just didn't want to read anymore about her and her chapters were everywhere. ARGH.

Tower of Neslé ? Is it chocolate ?

I did not read all of SKD´s posts, it might take me more time to do it than read AFFC itself. But my gut feeling there worked pretty strongly - and remember this is just hearsay, it is not ressurrection, it is just a small fraud to let a men get some peace in later life. Though actually the drowned men are more men coming back to life, me reading that was going all, oh yeah immediate CPR on a pre-drowned victim, high chance of survival ( had a first aid course recently, it twists the brain)

I hate Cersei for the dwarves among others. She does not think, she is stupid, and she just brushes off any consequences of her actions. Guilt none, no sign.

>Tower of Neslé ? Is it chocolate ?

Oh, you fake frenchwoman! Valois scandal, exactly like the plot Cersei was arranging.

That was my reading as well, and I never took first aid classes ^^

Guilt none, no sign
Yeah true. Well, we already knew that from the murder of Robert's bastards. Well, she's just so insane with paranoia.

Oh, you fake frenchwoman! Valois scandal, exactly like the plot Cersei was arranging.
They teach us surpringly little kingly History in class. I have NO idea what you're talking about. *sheepish*

[generalblossom.livejournal.com]

It was not history classes, it was Druon´s Rois maudits series ( where I do not like the writing at all, like a soap opera script, argh but the story, oh wow).

Those Valois sure were ASOIAF-ish.

Went no farther than the middle of the second book if I remember. The writing was indeed crap.

lol, yes I guess. And the Tyrell really have a French touch to them.
