There was a lot I didn't like about the fourth book, but the one part I loved was not having to read Daenerys chapters. Although now that she might actually have an impact on the other 90% of the plot, maybe it wont be so bad.

Darko posted:I basically just skip Daenerys chapters and read Wiki summaries of what happens; it's so disconnected, she pisses me off, and I actually generally don't like dragons and poo poo. I'm dreading revisiting her in this book, although maybe I can tolerate her a bit more now since she's more connected now. If so, If not, I guess I'll be probated.  I can't wait to see more Dorne in the fifth book - that last Dorne chapter really knocked it out of the park, and I've been pretty interested in all the Dornish character that have popped up. Also, Samwell's Adventures in Oldtown.

Too many characters have names that easily shorten to inoffensive late-90s sitcom names. Mel and Stan have been having an affair, but will Dave find out? Meanwhile, Rob finds out there's more to directing than breaking a leg. Next time on... A Game of Life e: \/

whowhatwhere posted:I've gotta disagree there, as Viserys on the show was basically just as I imagined him, just less prominent. He did twist nipples, scream about waking the dragons, etc. on the show, they just showed his other side while he was on-screen instead of in Dany monologues. *gives Dany a swirly* e: But yeah, he definitely came across more tragic on the show than he did in the book. Abusive, sure -- but more of a bumbling idiot with a bad temper than a Joffrey. At the very least, he didn't deserve to have his brain boiled by molten gold. unlimited shrimp fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Apr 30, 2012 |

I just spent too much time looking for the excerpt with the "stick 'em with the pointy end" quote so I could re-write it as Gendry/Arya erotica. I am a bad person.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Those get translated into modern english, though, making them far more accessable to the layman. Shakespeare is just on the cusp of being total gibberish to the modern anglophone, so it's left alone and quite a lot of people get really, really upset (because they are sperglords) if you try to translate it into something readily understandable.

My biggest problem with Dany is that, while she has incredible potential, I have zero interest in what she's actually embroiled in. GRRM is so bad at making me care about Dany that he even managed to make me stop caring about Tyrion while he was on his way to her.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Dorne is really loving dumb in AFFC, it either needs to be cut or given some content. Dorne - inexplicably moreso than anywhere in Danyland - seems like something from a completely different series of books. It's really jarring. Qarth and Mereen are ridiculous but Dorne is deep in the uncanny valley with its Darkstar and Sand Snakes.
