Isn't Yi Ti is important in the world because thats where Azor Ahai came from? Or does everyone just have the same legend that they transpose onto their culture? Far Essos seems a hell of a lot more interesting than anything else we've seen in the books.

The peasants can't move cross country and the nobles wouldn't leave because they'd go from having power and comfort to being nobodies. Though the Starks have geothermal and greenhouses in Winterfell at least and apparently keep the living areas (sorta) heated thanks to the former.

Far Essos seems a hell of a lot more interesting than anything else we've seen in the books. Far Essos only seems interesting because we haven't been there. The moment GRRM starts writing about it (lol), I bet it'll be as boring as poo poo. It's the mystique and the unknown that's interesting. Once we know no one will care about Asshai by the sea or whatever.

GRRM Earth is the size of a postage stamp if you relate real time events to character travel. If Gilly's baby was born in, say, march, then the show is now at July. Dany conquered Essos, lost it, and is coming back. Arya's entire journey from lost child to assassin happened in less than a college semester. Sansa was married, divorced, assumed a new identity, remarried, gone into witness protection, and is raising an army. Tyrion won a war, served a king, and traveled the world. Jon traveled to the ends of the earth, got some fire pussy, changed his whole world view, fought a war, became a leader, died, came back, and reunited with his rear end in a top hat sister to plan a war. Fat Walda traveled half way across a continent to get pregnant by a psycho butcher, carried to term, and was eaten alive by the dogs of the psycho butcher's son. All while Gilly's dumb baby aged about 3 months.

I remember some nerd broke down the passage of time between some character's name days. Still not as bad as The Walking Dead where it's been about 3 months since the outbreak but the child characters have grown beards and are 2 feet taller.

Far Essos seems a hell of a lot more interesting than anything else we've seen in the books. because what this series needs is more descriptions of new places. I seriously couldn't tell you 10 things about Essos. or where any of that poo poo takes place on a blank map. I've been powering through those sections for years, even on re-reads - I just can't seem to give a poo poo. I mean I agree that interesting poo poo is probably gone down in asshat, and I'd like to know more about the doom and all that - but I just want this nightmare to end. Can't he do like normal authors and save some poo poo for the next "trilogy"? I don't really want to know where the Others come from, or that the old gods are just some faggy elves. Anymore than I wanted to know what made Anakin break into Vader. also dorne=drone

if the ironborn had any adventurous spirit at all they'd have made a big rope, tied it to land, and figured out wtf is going on with their ocean that makes poo poo disappear.

This might just be me, but it seems like every civilization outside Westeros, Dothraki, and maybe Braavos is crafted to seem as alien (and maybe hostile) as possible. poo poo like selling babies to Unsullied to get stabbed, eating fetal puppies in an orange glaze, or the sacrificial prince of Pentos. If this weird feeling is deliberate I think it's to show the readers how bizarre and offputting other cultures might've seemed to medieval Europeans. Or maybe it's just me. Or maybe GRRM's just having fun.

What's weird about the political system in Volantis? There are several examples of ancient cultures (Rome, Athens) who functioned a lot like that.

500 pages into The Clash of Kings. lol the entire Barratheon family is such fucktards i was hoping that Joffrey would turn into a good king. I thought that'd be a neat twist, if the incest-born bastard that everybody hates grew up into a good guy. They made such a big deal about how much Robb had changed around the same time Tyrion got sent to be The Hand, and Robb and Joffrey were about the same age so I thought they were setting up a similar change for Joffrey, but I guess not. oh well. Brienne, Arya, and Asha need to team up to form The Tomboy Alliance
