So what is the guess on who Coldhands is? Benjen Stark is an obvious guess


They had a good writeup on tower of the hand laying out the possibilities. Benjen seems the most likely.

I feel like this is getting way past the red wedding chapter of a storm. Spoilers aren't cool....

Agreed, and I've tried to be careful about that, but that has become the pattern for these threads, people start out good about the spoilers, then after a few pages they go wild.

Chicken and the rest of the TD proletariat need to make one of us who has read all the books an admin so we can whack any spoilers.


Though I am wondering if

Wouldn't doubt it honestly though this would be one time I agreed with the doucheman.

And making one of us who have read all the books an admin would be clutch as shite. There are entirely to many rampant spoilers in these threads, though I think we did pretty well with the tv thread.

. A great story with a less than great middle and ending is not truly a great story.


Well, the ending hasn't happened yet and the middle in a SEVEN part series (at least) will lapse in awesome a bit, so chill.

Did people really think this thread would be contained to one chapter?

It's a SoS spoilers thread, I thought...

Kind of a group of people reading the book at the same time.

I just finished today, wow what an ending.

(Spoilers)














(seriously don't read if you haven't read SoS all the way)



















( I warned you; not my fault)














(spoilers)







The Arya killing the Tickler part was great. Someone forshadowed that, but I didn't know what they were talking about. She goes off... with the questions and repeated stabbings. Its a shame she left the hound, but he was a bastard anyway.

What really sucks for me is that everyone says the next two books aren't as good. So I feel anti-climatic. I'm not looking forward to AFFC, but I do want to see what happens to certain people.

I don't get how Catelyn Stark is back to life. I think its good that Jon is the Lord Commander, but I would have taken Winterfell. Tyrion really must have liked this girl, who must be related to the Tullys. Based on what Lord Tully was saying on his death-bed. Maybe a bastard sister or something. Unless there are two Tyshas. Like there are now two Aryas.
Petyr killing Lyssa was very unexpected, but I hated her. I don't like Stannis either.

Oh well on to AFFC. I just have to convert the file to Mobi so I can read it. Just dl'd it just now.

I just finished today as well. I'm in the same boat where people on here have made me not look forward to the next book. I think we should start a thread that goes up to a certain event this time.

just finished last night; ivetornthrough the first 3 books so I may take some time off before I start the next one. SOS was fricking awesome. Red wedding, joff's wedding, tyrion, both cleganes, tywin, and that little ball of hate Arya Stark. :

**Major spoilers if you haven't finished aSoS**










































The TV show better not change a single line of dialogue from when Tyrion killed Tywin. It was written perfectly.

I updated the title so we can have a proper discussion about this book without posting "spoiler" in every post.

Ending of aSoS was like a railgun of awesome loaded in every bullet. Just one after another.

For those dreading aFFC, I was in the same boat. Just finished last night, and it's not that bad. Coming off Storm likely has it judged a bit unfairly, just because of how good that one is. I liken it to Game of Thrones, only without Ned Stark's head rolling. It feels like a set up book for the rest of what is going to happen. The last set of chapters were fairly engaging, as they seem to be in each book.

one item I might would add was tyrion's unspoken observation that in the end tywin lannister did not in fact shite gold.

"wherever whores go" THWOCK!!

/crossbow bolt
/tywin lannister dies/shits self

also glad to not have Catelyn's POV anymore though her last one was epic. she was extremely boring most of the time.

*Possible Spoilers if you're not at the end of the book*









This is just a thought. If Jon had taken Winterfell and if Stannis is not successful then would he still be considered a bastard and removed of his rights if Sansa, Bran, or Arya came back. I haven't started AFOC yet so don't let me know if this gets answered.

I love the last line of that chapter the best.

"Tywin Lannister really doesn't shite gold"
