    the ongoing ADWD thingI think it'd be cool if Aegon turned out to be a Blackfyre, but I don't know how possible that would be.


    spoilery if you haven't finished through at least AFFCSo apparently this SFX issue had this blurb in it. Does it think who I think it means, whose initials are (SPOILER)LSH? I really hope so, but I'm not sure. If it was true, then this person is very good at keeping things under wraps.

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    Trick question.

    (SPOILER)Fake Targaryen, but a Blackfyre. And he will be key to Varys' success in the game.

    I'm getting all five books in a set for only twenty-seven bucks online. Pretty good deal if I do say so myself. Now I won't have to worry about being pressed for time to get through it all.

    I dont know how anyone else felt about this but I found the stuff in Dorne to be super boring. Maybe it's because I dont have a strong enough imagination to picture it without having a clear image of the characters from the show but later when Cersei's uncle goes to her and summarieses what happened in Dorne in 3 lines I cant help but think "thats it, that's everything that happened in Dorne. You wasted whole chapters on it when it only took 3 lines to explain. I got nothing out of those chapter other than what that summary gave me"

    The exception being the one where the dorne princess talks to her dad about aegon. That was mildly interesting
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    Dorne is an unaligned power-player. It's all build-up.

    I thought the Dorne chapters brought nice flavour, though admittedly they weren't overflowing with action.

    That's how I felt about it on my initial read - I just didn't care about these characters when I already had this tight cast I was so invested in.

    The second time, I read them together with the Iron Islands chapters as GRRM originally intended, as an extended prologue isolated from the main plot. It was much more enjoyable and I appreciated how the tension was beginning to boil over in these areas, with Dorne all but ready for open rebellion and its army in the Boneway ready to go.

    I get the feeling that the show is going to cut the thing about Tyrion's first wife and have Tyrion go search for Shae instead.

    I was just reading up on that, too.

    Yeah, I spoiled myself. I don't care, I'm impatient.

    That would be retarded.

    ADWDSeeing everybody in the other thread hoping for Stannis to be the real king makes me hope he really died. I don't think he did, but we'll see next book.
