So have been reading the books for the last month. I've read A Game of Thrones entirely, and am now more than halfway A Clash of Kings.

The thing I love most about these books so far is the way the chapters are divided. Showing it from 8-9 different characters 'pov' really works.

My favorite pov-characters from the first book were:

Spoiler+


My favorite pov-characters from the second book (so-far) are:

Spoiler+


I wish that G.R.R.M had decided to do more Lannister povs, because I hear that alotta stuff happens with them, but you can never really fully appreciate it unless it's shown during someone elses pov chapter.

Favorite Story-Lines so far when put from most liked to lease liked are:

1. The Wall
2. The East
3. The Seven Kingdoms

I love all 3 of the story lines and considering 8/10 total POV characters in both books combined have been involved with The Seven Kingdoms storyline. The only characters to not have been much involved in The Seven Kingdoms storyline has been Daenerys, who has been more involved in the East. And also Jon Snow who's more involved with The Wall storyline. So I don't really fear for their lives. But as you've seen in my lists above Dany and Jon are my favorite characters in both books so far. So everytime one of thrm has a chapter I'm always very excited.

Here are my thoughts on the story-lines:

The Seven Kingdoms+


The East+


The Wall+


My 3 favorite characters that don't have their own pov chapters, but actually should have, are:

I just read this:

'Over half of the planet that George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire takes place on is still unexplored.'

Finished A Clash of Kings on Sunday. Way awesome! Every POV Character had an way exciting ending:

Character Closing Chapters+


All very exciting. Started ASoS on Monday. Already so exciting. Love it that Jamie Lannister has his own PoV chapters now (am loving his journey to Kings Landing together with Brienne -who is slowly becoming one of my favorite character- and Cleos Frey. Am anxious to find out how that will all work out), and that Samwell Tarly will have his own as well. Can't wait to read what will all happen next. What an exciting series!

And a qucik question to the people who read this series, but is the Wall featured in A Feast for Crows? I just checked the wikipedia for that, for some weird ass reason. And didn't see The Wall featured in the Storylines. Can anyone answer that question -without spoilers please-

Thanks. :)

Thanks. :-)

Just finished A Storm of Swords I: Steel and Snow.

Altogether a great read, some parts felt slow and inconsistent, espicially in the middle. Most chapters would end very exciting and fast-paced, and then end in an exciting note. And then hop over to a character that didn't have much going on at the moment, and all that excitment felt gone. So that was kind of a bummer. But the end of the book totally made up for it.

Spoiler+


For the first half of A Storm of Swords here is my list on most favorite to least favorite characters (I love of um all btw.)

Spoiler+


Am gonna start A Storm of Swords II: Blood and Gold now. The first chapter is Daenerys, so that should set the tone. Am way excited! :-)

I actually heard that A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons were the 2 worst books a ASoIaF. Or did you mean ASoSIIBaG?

But either way, what did you think of AFfC and ADwD?

Oh and btw, that 'favorite character' list is a list of my favorite PoV characters from most favorite to least. Not all the characters in general, otherwise Hodor, Osha, Robb, Brienne and Ygriette would have been in it instead.

Okay, cool. Thanks.

Having new character PoV's always excites me. So is it true about what I heard that a lot of the first 3 book's PoV characters won't be in it? And about A Dance with Dragons being the same timeline as A Feast for Crows but then with different characters?

Thanks. :-)

And I just watched the fourth season trailer under the impression that I was caught up, since someone told me that ASoSI:SaS was season 3, and ASoSII:BaG was season 4. But then I hear a character say this:

Spoiler+


Kind of a bummer that yet another death is spoiled. But I have myself to blame for being so damn curious. Now all I have left is to hope that just like with Irri, that it doesn't happen in the book.

Thanks.

And one last thing.

Spoiler+


So my question is, do those parts happen in ASoS still, or later on?

And yeah, I've had enough of all these spoilers popping up everywhere because of my stupidity. So I'm gonna dislike all the GoT related pages on FB until I'm caught up. And try not to search up anything in relation to GoT until I'm caught up as well.

Oh that's good to know. Even more big then the red and purple wedding. (I've already read those) 😄

And yeah, the only 3 spoilers I know for AFFC/ADWD are these:

Spoiler+


But those aren't even that bad to know, those spoilers are actually spoilers that make me hyped up for what's to come. So I'm excited for that. 😊

Was talking to a friend on FB about ASoIaF, and thought I'd post my thoughts on here as well. So I'm right now around 60% done with ASoSII:BaG. And here are my thoughts on each character. And what my thoughts are on the final battle of the series.

Whoops. Okay this is the last one. I'm really not gonna look at anything GoT related anymore unless it's the books. Like... Seriously. But I have a question if this still happens in A Storm of Swords:

Just finished A Storm of Swords (only need to read the Epilogue still). Very cool! As you all see I was spoiled by a lot of deaths this book. So I unfortunately couldn't get the full expierence, but I still very much enjoyed it. And a lot of events I didn't see coming which I also really liked. I'll give an explanation of where each PoV character is, and what I think is in store for them in the upcoming books:

Bran Stark+


Jon Snow+


Samwell Tarly+


Sansa Stark+


Arya Stark+


Catelyn Stark+


Jaime Lannister+


Tyrion Lannister+


Davos Seaworth+


Daenerys Targaryen+


Here's my list from my most favorite PoV characters to my least favorite (I liked them all, so this list'll be tough):

Rankings+


I heard that A Feast for Crows has 12 PoV's... So something I didn't do my last book review, I'll predict who I think will be PoV characters in the next book. Okay so here it goes:

PoV Speculation+
