BUMP (Page 4 )


Just started my first re-read today and almost halfway done with GoT.

Jeez what a fricking great book. I'm sure it goes faster now, especially now with the visuals of the series to aid the reading process, but does anyone else miss the style of the first book compared to the later books?

The chapters are very concise and get right to the point. Makes for a great read and easy to pick up on everything.

I love the later books too, but damn some of those chapters are a chore to get through.


Btw, whatever happened to the re-read thread? Did that peter out? Can someone who posted in it link to it? I'd like to check it out as I'm reading along.


As for my favorite moments so far on re-read:

First chapter, Bran POV: "Bran saw his father's face change. He loved Jon with all his heart at that moment. Even at seven, Bran understood what his brother had done. The count had come right only because Jon had omitted himself."


Jon POV at the feast: "When he opener the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment, Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king."


Ned POV to Catelyn: "My father went South once, to answer the summons of a king. He never came home again."


Jon POV to Arya: "Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle. Who knows?"


Catelyn POV about Littlefinger: "I knew he would rise high. He was always clever, even as a boy, but it is one thing to be clever and another to be wise. I wonder what the years have done to him."
