But the abuser got what he deserves, the abused child in many of us loved it!

It makes sense that he wouldn't want his son, a prince of Dorn marrying a double Lannister with a questionable claim to the throne.

The show will have Sansa and Theon land in a snow covered haystack.

I am preparing myself for this story to have no resolutions or ending.

I am hoping pirates from the Iron Isles will round the point and capture the ship which would eventually place everyone in Meereen.

They only shit in Kings Landing.

I have high hopes the Brienne will be too honorable to kill a wounded man, like the evil Ramsey would, but who knows….

In answer to the author's question. The show and the books are two different things in my mind. No the supposed deaths of the show's characters will not change the way I read the books. The show really jumped the stark last night.

The credit goes to Cersi for getting rid of the instigators of Robert's rebellion.

Approximately 1,770,000 words…but who's counting.

Would Brienne blame Stannis for Renly's death? I am lost at this point in her story.

Without the journey we would never have the image of boiled puppies and all the other details of a long siege in the summer lands.

The can't swim we found that out. So the wall should work.

Even in the world of arranged marriages today in some parts of the world, wedding day consummation is rape. The sex slavery human trafficking industries it's happening every day.
Romance novels are based on good men actually being kind to their new bride.
This is Game of Thrones and political correctness shouldn't…

She killed a slave for less so feeding her dragons with a non slave makes sense.

and that was the last of the iron islanders. They should be making their way to Meereen but nooooooo. frustrated!

I loved Dorne and that storyline but I am a desert person. Aren't the sand snakes locked up in a tower?
There are so many people missing in the TV series I wonder if GRR had to rewrite the next book completely. god I wish he would just put it put it out already, I miss the complexity.

Too perfect, I suspect a body double or prosthesis.
