salineaUp to p.460 / Jon's seventh chapter, not included
Tyrion VII
I like the whore of Vogarro's whore. And at least Tyrion has stopped the self pity for now.
Jon VI
And so we have a new wedding to look forward to! Weddings are always such fun in ASOIAF :D
Davos IV
Haha, of course Davos couldn't die! (*is relieves anyway *hugs Davos*)
Interesting twist. Davos to Rickon's rescue, going in the Neck, I suppose? That shall be interesting. Does that mean he'll eventually meet the infamous Howland Reed?
Ramsey Bolton as The Hunter kind of amuses me in equal part as it horrifies. I've read too many coldfire fanfics. It does horrify me a lot; it's a weird disconnect.
Daenarys V
There's the white mare. ouch.
Things really going from bad to worse for Dany. Wonder how it'll work out.
Melisandre I
"I pray for a glimpse of Azor Ahai, and R'hllor shows me only Snow."
Hah.
It's weird to see Melisandre doing a kindness to Davos. Oh well, well subverted. The witchy fanatic woman is actually not evil, she just likes looking scary; and I'm starting to like her.
MANCE! yay! Glad you're alive :D Did think something could be afoot (what with all the begging and denying he be the king during the execution scene) but I did not dare hope it might be so.
This is starting to be a lot of people who are not after all dead though. Careful, Martin, people are already saying you're too shy to kill characters. You should have a little slaughter to balance this out. :p
Theon III
The Karstark with Stannis are spying/intriguing for the Boltons. *whistles* Them bastards.
So Bolton goes rescue Theon on a white horse! That was unexpected. Though it's hilarious to see him deal with his son. And more intrigue to unfold; and more fun for the wedding. I fear there is not enough "poor Theon" in the world.
Tyrion VIII
Haha, so the perfumed whatever of Quaithe's warning is Tyrion's ship. Cute :D
And Tyrion is back to self-pity and describing the landscape. oy.
Details on the Doom of Valyria is always nice to take at least.
Bran III
"Do you like to read books, Bran?" Jojen asked him.
"Some books. I like the fighting stories. My sister Sansa likes the kissing stories, but those are stupid."
I like seeing Sansa and Bran paralleled for their love of stories. It suggests they shared discussions about books and that's ♥ "kissing books are stupid" is so Princess Bride XD
So far the Children of the Forest do turn out very... high fantasy stereotypes. Heh. The last visions are intriguing. Arya!like girls is obviously Lyanna; I wonder about those after that.
Anyway, I am very much enjoying myself reading so far.
