A Feast for Crows Discussion [Book 4] *Formerly the "book" thread

I'm about 200 pages ahead of you and have been kind of dragging my feet because it'll be some time before book 6 comes out... But yeah that part was boss

 

totally

 

God damn it yes, but label the spoiler IMO.

 

I'm on the Queenmaker chapter. Could they throw a few more names at me that idont recognize? Not hard to keep up at all.

 

Is Brienne dead? She's dead. Isn't she? Fuck these books. Fuck Catelyn. Still. She even sucks as a zombie. Dammit.

 

what is dead can never die.

 

Spoiler

That's her last word. Regarding Oathkeeper. Has to be it.

Spoiler

I know, I know. Oh oh oh.

 

well when you kill half the main characters in the first three books of a 7 books series, at some point, you got to add new folks to kill

 

Regarding the question about The Hound and Saltpans in the Book 3 Thread:

Spoiler

Rorge is the one doing the raping in Saltpans while wearing Sandor's helm

 

yea that's what I was referring to.

 

OH MY GOD

Spoiler

I went back and looked at the prologue, wondering how it was relevant. Last line in the book.

 

We're fairly certain that is Jaqen right?

 

From the description of the face, yeah

 

refresh my memory...what was the last line?

 

"I'm Pate," the other said, "like the pig boy."

 

thanks...what with what happened to Arya and Cersei and all, I had kinda forgotten all about Pate in the prologue until that line and was blown away

 

I just finished book 4 so forgive me if this was already posted but it pissed me off.
Also, are we putting book 4 thoughts in spoilers as well, since this is the former "book" thread?

Just to be safe:

Spoiler

scumbag Catelyn

 

I'm about halfway through and took about a 6 month break in between 3 and 4. Just had a couple questions on plot limes I kind of forgot.

Spoilers from 1-4

Spoiler

Does Tyrion kill Tywin, or am I not supposed to know yet? Also why did Jaime let Tyrion out of his cell? How did Theon supposedly die again?

Also for some of those it may suppose to be a mystery for now, I just wasn't quite sure. I'm halfway through 4 if that helps.

TIA

 

Spoiler

Yes he shot him with a crossbow at the end of book 3, He was trying to save him from his death sentence, Ramsay Bolton/Snow killed him

 

I know... I just couldn't remember if it was actually him, or could possibly be someone else, but they blamed him.

 

ASOS was pretty straight-forward about Tyrion killing Tywin and Shae after he was freed from his cell by Jaime.

 

everyone point at canefin and laugh.

 

nigga you dumb

 

I'm disappointed in the hands lack of a necklace made of hands. The song and him strangling shae were amazing together.

 

I don't think these books are for you, bud.

 

Yeah, stick to Hunger Games loser.

 

I've really enjoyed 4 so far. I'm about half way through and it was tough for me to get started because everyone kept telling me 4 was bad, but I've enjoyed it as much as any of the others so far.

Also gonna be pissed if Euron somehow gets to control dragons.

 

Also, very rarely do I get moments where I feel satisfied. I just get moment where I'm like welp should have seen that coming fuck you George R Martin

 

It's no where near as good as Swords but it's still a solid book.

 

anytime i think about book 4 and what all goes down in it, i like it more.

 

I'm about 650 pages in to Crows and it's started to pick up a little bit. I just finished Victarion or whatever his name is chapter. Can anyone explain the Pate thing to me? I don't really care about spoilers. I like knowing and looking for shit while I'm reading. Such a good series it's not going to take away anything from it for me. Just like with watching Lost makes it fun.

 

Spoiler

You will find out more about "Pate" at the end of the book if you look carefully. Let's just say he makes another appearance, which is a huge clue as to who the alchemist was in the prologue.

 

Other than Pate in the prologue, wasn't it mentioned somewhere else in the book about death by biting on a poisoned coin?

 

Finished book 4 last night.

-Haha Cersei, fuck you. Jamie is best twin.
-The Dorne Prince sucked except for the fact he tried to wed Arianne with Viserys to get back at the Lannisters.
-Arya is still awesome, along with Littlefinger.
-Sansa isn't bad now, or it could be that the Lord of the Eyrie is such a faggot.
-lol at the fat boy king playing with kittens while the others have dragons and direwolves
-Catelyn sends Brienne to find the girls; kills her for trying to find the girls.
-Victarion is a bad ass.
-Congrats to Sam for getting his dick wet.
-Don't know what the faceless man is up to, but he's a bad ass and needs to show up more.
-team sand snakes
-Brienne, Davos, and Loras are alive.
-The Hound is the gravedigger, and The Mountain is a zombie? Maybe they end up fighting.

On to book 5

 

In the first book Bran has a dream of some monstrous being that was all black or something, and opposing him were a golden man and a man with a snarling hound's head. I think The Hound is the gravedigger as well, and he and Jaime somehow end up fighting Ser Robert Strong aka The Mountain Zombie.

 

Found the exact passage:

"One shadow was dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them both loomed a giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood."

 

Just finished Book 4. Haha fuck Cersei. Partly through Tyrion's first chapter in ADWD.

 

Yeah that's pretty clear.

I think just about any vision or prophecy is important in these books. You just have to figure them out.

 

Well, then, where do whores go?

 

I just finished my re-read of AFFC and found that I enjoyed Cersei's chapters the most because we finally got to confirm that she was the dumb paranoid cunt we always thought she was, she really was batshit crazy. I found myself wondering how Jamie ever cared about her at all.

 

Awesome vagina
