FMguru posted:Dorne has a different culture than the rest of Westeros (it's Royneish, not Andal) so they do things differently there, and they were never conquered by the Targaryans, so they've maintained some of their cultural distinction. I think in Dorne the first-born child inherits, unlike the rest of the land where it's the first-born male child. Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks!

I thought greyscale wasn't contagious? Otherwise, why would Shireen be allowed at the Wall?

If that means Ser Barristan gets to hang out with the Shavepate, I'm fine with that. Those two made Dany's chapters worth reading.

Can someone explain why that one lady was so hostile to the Starks? This is the lady who wanted Theon to take her into the stark crypt then she bitched about Brandon for a while before saying that she was going to feed Ned's bones to her dogs. I didn't really get why she was so hostile.

Preechr posted:She really, really wanted to be a Stark. She was loving Brandon Stark for a while, and then he got married to Catelyn. She figured she'd settle for Ned, but then Brandon got killed, and Catelyn took Ned, too. Oh, I see. So she's just bitter that she couldn't be a Stark?

I don't think it's Benjen because it's too obvious and if it was Benjen, why didn't he reveal himself to Bran? As for Catelyn, she's causing mayhem in the Riverlands, which we don't see at all in this book except for Jaime's POV.

I thought Aemon had died already? Considering I skim through Samwell's chapters, I may be misremembering.

I'm slightly optimistic that AFFC can actually be interesting on screen. I think I'd much rather enjoy watching Brienne walk around Westeros instead of reading about it. Not to mention the awesome Dorne chapters and Cersei's descent into insanity.

I think Littlefinger is the only character to progress his status throughout the entire series, another reason why he loving owns.

bigmcgaffney posted:No one brings up Bran's two chapter escapade with Benjen "Cockhands" Stark and friends because it sucked. The Bloodraven reveal is stupid as gently caress. Maybe someone cares about dunkin omelette or whatever the the gently caress it was but I don't. It also ties into the WORLDBUILDING bullshit about a couple of whores' saggy tits and I can't forgive GRRM for that one. Bran has been consistently boring as gently caress since book 1. However, I actually liked his two chapters in ADWD because the children of the forest were pretty interesting and now we can get more explanations into what the Others are.

I wish I read reddit more often to understand what the gently caress is happening on that sight. I clicked the link and still have no clue what's going on at that page.

Azure_Horizon posted:It starts out good then quickly becomes way, way, way, way too grandiose in the sheer amount of characters to keep track of that the story becomes ridiculously convoluted. Tracking the timeline of what's happening when is a nightmare, and by the end of ten novels you're left with very few characters to actually give a poo poo about. drat, that's a bummer. I'm stuck halfway through the first one because I don't really have a clue what the hells happening anymore. At least with Grrm I can understand the characters intent and the world around them. Malazan is a giant  for me so far but is it worth finishing?

Demiurge4 posted:With the whole Jon Snow bit going on for a few pages I thought I'd weigh in with my own theory. Basically Rhaegar Targaryan was way into poetry and music and its mentioned in one of the books that one day he came down from the library and said something along the lines of "it seems I have to be a warrior". Rhaegar got his hands on some prophecy and decided that either he or his son would be the one to defeat the white walkers. He kidnapped Lyanna Stark because the saviour had to have the blood of the old men. He was remorseful about kidnapping and raping her, and Ned rescued the baby and pretended it was his own son so King Robert wouldn't murder it. Don't forget about Quentyn.

I'm waiting for her to finally land in Westeros then start torching random people because she doesn't know what any of the banners mean and who they stand for.

He overheard Robert talking about putting Bran out of his misery, so he thought it would impress dad. I think?

Didn’t they release that Adama prequel? Blood and chrome or some poo poo like that. Doesn’t give me much hope or enthusiasm for this Westeros prequel.

Kylaer posted:Hello Bad Thread, I come to you with a quandary. This isn't the right thread for this, but gently caress it, it's book-related and this is my posting home when it comes to books, I've been shitposting about GRRM for a decade now. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3338643&perpage=40&noseen=1&pagenumber=692 This thread should help with that. As far as the latest Thrawn books, it kinda depends. The first one in the new trilogy is pretty good, the second is meh, and I haven’t read the third.
