Yeah, I think you'll like both AFFC and ADWD. There is a lot of world building and it's the middle part of the series, so characters are doing more growing. There just aren't as many twists as ASOS, but I don't think you'll be able to tell on the show, because all the big moments from both books will be put into one…
There doesn't really seem to be much meat to that article other than vague spec that it may take more than seven books, which is something fans have long wondered about. That was pretty Gawker of Vulture.
I slowed down at some parts during ACOK too (there are some new characters to introduce that seem boring at first), but once you get to book 3 you won't put the book down at all.
How far did you end up getting in your ASOIAF read?
Having read the books you should know that nothing is done just to shock.
No definitely not. bumpcollege is wrong.
You see Shae in what appears to be Tywin's bed in the Chamber of the Hand. I forget which trailer
If you watched the trailer for the season, you can tell that Tyrion will kill Shae.
Plus a version of the Winterfell score played
Winterfell.
Well yeah, but I don't think you need to worry about that because we won't be able to hear his inner monologue.
I'm hoping that's what it will be, because Brienne will have nothing to do until the end of next season when she takes Jamie away from the Riverlands. But I feel like they're going to give an ending to Brienne's journey this season.
I think this is spot on.
That would be pretty cool. Maybe hook up with one of the Sand Snakes. Talk to Myrcella about what it's like to be a forgotten child of a King, you know.
'You gotta laugh!'
Yep! That was awesome. I love Lena.
I'm very excited to see where he randomly pops up. I can't figure out what his role will be, I don't see him going back to the BWB
Yeah it wasn't ruining her at all, it's been clear that this was the trajectory she has been on in the books. She's going to be a badass in TWOW.
I feel like I've said this 3 times this season already, but THIS was the best episode of the season. So so good.
