I'm about 1/4 through SoS and you guys were not kidding about Jon Snow and he knows nothing. It is sort of ruining my attention/mood in his chapters as I giggle to myself every time it comes up. So every page essentially.

Veg posted:The Jon liking her thing came out of nowhere. Like, she has hosed teeth and wide apart eyes yet Jon likes her? He doesn't at first though. He wants nothing to do with her until Mance Rayder puts him in a situation where it's essentially gently caress Ygritte or be seen as a traitor. Jon thinks about how she's not attractive unless compared to the other wildling warriors, he's taken oaths, and a bunch of other hand wringing. It's only after they've been together for a little bit that he starts wanting to tell her what's up and then he jumps on a horse and rides away instead. [SOS.1]

BjornOfBorg posted:E-reader might work but the only place I would actually be able to read it was on my computer (which sucks) or only my phone (which sucks worse). I thought this myself but I'm currently reading Feast on my droid of an evening and it sucks far less than I imagined.

I read the five books in a run and I really liked Feast. It also has some good commoner perspective of Westeros chapters as were discussed last page. A bunch of people come in to say they like it as often as the disdain for it is brought up so I wouldn't despair to much. Edit: It's GRRM so maybe you should despair, but enjoy that despair none the less.

Hey Kung Food you probably want to spoiler the ending of storm in that quote.

Fiendish_Ghoul posted:Especially in ADWD. Thanks to having the books on Kindle, I found that some of his pet phrases appear in ADWD several times more than in the other four books combined. There is much and more of people complaining about this here, nuncle. But words are wind so your gripes are little and less for the thread than nipples on breastplate.

GonSmithe posted:I will also say that after Season 2 of GoT ends I have no idea what I am going to do with myself until Well there's always the in development GoT RPG by the people who made the worlds most boring strategy game in the GoT universe. Or the GoT browser based MMO that's coming out. I don't know what I'm going to do either.

Feast for Crows is widely considered to be a slog but there are a good number of people that enjoy it. Some of the negative reaction to books Feast and Dance is born from the splitting of PoV characters between the books and then having to wait years and years for each to be written/released. Feast was very enjoyable but I like world building and the way Martin gives you events and locations from multiple points of view with different or conflicting information. So chapters where characters wander around accomplishing little but thinking about a lot didn't bother me. Dance is more of the same but Martin shits on a few storylines more aggressively. tl;dr: Solid GoT/asoiaf books but if you go in expecting the pacing/feel of Storm of Swords you'll be disappointed.

pakman posted:I actually really liked these scenes of his. It was later in the book that I thought Tyrion got boring. The scene with the men jumping off the bridge in the mists looked so cool in my head. I imagined something like a misty swamp you see in horror movie, with ancient buildings sticking up out of the water everywhere. I assumed he was talking the other ship. With the pig. Agreed the swamp stuff and directly pre and post that was p. good.

I missed that same point, pr0p, until it was pointed out in the TV/IV bookreader thread for the show. That thread was actually really good for spoiler book discussion but got closed shortly after the season finished.

If you do start from the start. There are more plot threads in the books and as of season 2 some changes such as characters being merged/replaced and timelines moved a little. If you start at book three you'll likely be a bit confused.

webmeister posted:And if you're anything like me, prepare to be amazed at how many subtexts, foreshadowings and implications you never noticed Also some pro theories about some events that aren't what they at first seem and others that give surprising insight into what might happen in the next books such as the imminent Merman invasion and Jaqen being revealed to be Benjen Stark.

NikkolasKing posted:I'm just wondering, will all this stuff be well-explained when it's more relevant? Mostly yes. There are small and cool things that you will not pick up on unless you are keen eyed but it makes these books really, really enjoyable on a reread. I suggest you blaze through them, read a few of the more likely fan theories (Varys is a merman btw), and then give them a reread after a while. I'm also going to suggest reading AFFC and ADWD together in the boiled leather or ball of beasts reading order. It combines them so the book is more chronological than geographical. It looses nothing and is surprisingly better paced than the published books, an easier and more enjoyable read for sure.
