    Yea never understood why he's the only Stark, other than Rickon, that didn't have one.

    my son is Rickon's age. It would be rather humorous to read a POV from a 3-4 year old

    Well he obv grows to be a bit older as it goes on but it would be funny if he did have a chapter or two.

    This is the book 2 thread guys, let's not hint at what could or couldn't be still going on in later books

    I this something that is explained later or did miss it? To be honest, I skimmed a lot of the wolf dream parts and felt the same when a Bran chapter came up as I did about the Sansa chapters in the first book.

    You done fucked up. It basically explained and showed how Bran was becoming a warg.

    Shit, I thought I got the basic gist of the dreams but apparently not.

    Who skims a book they are reading of their own volition and not as an assignment?

    Well it kind of does, but to me it kind of explained how he was seeing things through the dreams.

    I just hate dream sequences in books. So often they have little to no importance to the plot of a story.

    I think the early chapters where it was half a dream and half Bran sitting in chair listening to people bored me and I tried to get just get through his chapters so I could move on to a character I was more interested in.

    These are the wrong books to do that in. Almost every dream sequence/vision is vitaly important

    I always seemed to like Bran's chapters and had a feeling after GoT that he was going to have some cool shit happen with him. Didn't think GRRM would waste time on dreams and all if they had no meaning.

    So the most common medium of foreshadowing in novels is unimportant. Gotcha.

    It is also regularly used to convey emotional distress, set mood, give a glipse to a characters mental state, etc. Things that can be picked up easily by skimming through a pages.

    I'm sorry that my personal reading preference is so offensive to you guys.

    Even with skimming, I understand that Jon and Arya both have dreams were what they are seeing is real, just didn't pick up on the warg part, thought it was more a visions/psychic thing

    Finished ACOK before I went to the bar last night. A few things that pissed me off were Jon Snow yielding to the wildlings and killing the Halfhand and the Bolton Bastard fucking up Winterfell.
