"You raped her! You murdered her! You killed her children!"

God the Red Viper was such a great short-lived character, but like Ned Stark, his echo goes well through all the books. I was pumped that Tyrion was going down to Dorne to overthrow his father... But then it happened. Most intense chapter of any book I've ever read.

i remember i was sitting in the UL quad in between calc 3 and physics 2 summer classes when i was reading it. I was lounging on a bench, but as the intensity amped up, I sat up and read with anxiety. Ended up skipping physics and kept reading I wanted to throw the frickin book

You ain't kiddin.
Red Viper vs Gregor was one of those unfortunately rare instances where GRRM really showcases his writing chops. For me, it's right up there with the TOJ sequence.

Another that stood out (language/ writing wise) was when Brienne and Pod come upon the hedge knights on the road, and the one relays the hardship of war and its effect on the small folk / resulting in rogue knights. Very powerfully written, IMO.

Martin is a great storyteller, but these flashes of brilliance prove he is an author as well.
