    A Feast for Crows definitely has a different feel to it a lot of the time, but i liked it a lot. So far I’m liking Dance with Dragons a little less, but it’s still enjoyable.

    I heard A Feast for Crows is basically just a filler book and was told to skip it altogether.

    if they'd actually included that in the show it would've redeemed S6-8 and don't pretend like you wouldn't love to see your girl emilia acting that out

    You heard wrong. Also, as an Arya fan you can find out why the show version is a terrible and one dimensional and the book character is actually good and interesting.

    I guess I it’s only filler insomuch as which characters you care about. Feast and Dance cover roughly the same time period, but one book focuses more on the south, and the other book focuses more on the North and Danaerys. I guess Feast doesn’t have all the bombshells like the book before either.

    I've been meaning to ask Jinx something.

    (SPOILER)How did you feel when Arya killed Littlefinger?

    Ever since we got our puppy, my reading has slowed down a lot. She wakes up super early, and I find myself struggling to stay awake as I read. So for a while, I can generally just get a chapter a day.

    Anyways, I’m a little over halfway through A Dance With Dragons. I will say that it’s not holding my attention as well as the other books, but I am enjoying seeing a lot of the differences from the show.

    I’ve now finished A Dance with Dragons, and I’m finally with everyone else in waiting for the rest of the series to come out.

    I think I just don’t really care that much about most of the Meereen stuff until the end. I still enjoyed reading the book, but I think it is my least favorite of the bunch. Normally the books that are mostly setting things up for the endgame don’t bother me, so I can’t fully put my finger on what fully bothers me. It’s probably just because I usually read a series after all books are already out, so I usually don’t have to wait for the payoff.

    Glad you finished it and relatively enjoyed it!

    I think most people hate Meereen. This essay series gave me a new perspective on it and might be worth your time having a read: https://meereeneseblot.wordpress.com...d-the-locusts/

    Basically from the pit onward is where I’m more okay with the Meereen plot line. I pretty much already thought about and agreed with the stuff in that article as I was reading. The Shavepate is who I pretty much think did the poisoning. I’d also like to note just how much Barristan says he isn’t interested in nor does he have the ability to play the game of thrones. He also mentions how those of the Kingsguard who have involved themselves in the game are only met with misfortune if I remember correctly. Either way, I feel he’d be easy to manipulate in this scenario where he is feeling completely lost.

    My main problem is that I don’t really care for the characters in Meereen, nor do I really care for the politics there. That’s not to say I won’t grow to like the plot line, but currently it was more setting things up to the more interesting events that I’m sure will happen in Winds of Winter.

    The shame about them rushing through the series was to set themselves up for future things, like the next star wars. But due to the backlash they got for rushing the ending, they were dropped from those future projects.

    The delicious karma.

    House of the Dragon will start filming next year.

    Saw that the cast has just added Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Emma D'arcy.

    Are you looking forward to this show, or are you still sour from the final Game of Thrones season?

    I know there was another spinoff show starring Naomi Watts that got to the point where they shot the pilot, but it was cancelled. Hope that doesn't happen to this one.

    I read that one of the reasons House of the Dragon was picked up instead of the other one was because it's based on Fire & Blood, and they decided to go with the show based on a book so they could have a road map.

    Imagine that.
