I love how that line becomes a recurrent thought process/answer in the book.

Meh...I would have argued to keep them.

If only under the case of trying to get the lords to come over.

Stannis is nothing if not pragmatic...

I really didn't like how they brought her back, and changed the brotherhood from one of justice fighting for the people.

Thoros's defeated bitterness over what had happened in their goals was sad to read.

Calm down.

I was tempted to not have it.

But its very very mild, as in no plot points.

Alright, so I just finished the book (all 3 in a week and 1/2), and I avoided the thread for spoiler purposes.

I had caught wind of a slaughter at the Red Wedding, but assumed it was Joffrey's. But as the Frey chapter progressed, I knew bad things were coming. And it sucks that Robb died(never leave your dire wolf Starks dammit).

But when I thought Arya died, I was fricking furious. And I am startled Cat is still alive unless the dream Arya had finding her in the river had something to do with it.

The only thing I am happy about is my two favorite characters are still alive, Snow and Tyrion. The way this shite is going though, who knows how long they will last.

I have never read a story where main characters are killed off at such ease.

I finished SOS late last night and had like 5 pages left in the epilogue. I guess I'm not through with Catelyn 's POV after all.

I'm hoping the Frey's burn for what they did. I think it was one of old nan's stories about being cursed once you frick over a guest in your house. Maybe catelyn's insistence on them eating and drinking as soon as they got to the twins will pay off.

That or arya's wolf dream grabbing her. I love that the Starks turned out to be Wargs. But again, I have no clue who will die next. Crazy story by the author.

I am pumped for the next season on HBO.

I bought the 4 pack with the HBO promo on it for 35$. The first 3 have consumed my time. I need to take a break for a minute and start walking my dog again.
