    I think every single death makes sense. This I just don't see. I mean wtf man. Crazy stuff and I never saw that coming so I guess well done GRRM. I had heard the name "red wedding" but I didn't think it would mean this. And then arya is there in the next pov... man rough stuff. She needs to stay away from her family. First Ned and now her mother/robb.

    actually it gets even worse for Robb as you keep reading...i heard the name red wedding mentioned many times, i was assuming it meant Joff's and was going to be a fun bloodbath battle

    Thats how I felt too. Crazy that the death of a character that never even had a POV messes people up so much. I was HEATED though. I had to remind myself that I'm a grown man with 2+2 kids to raise, a wife and a team to coach (plus a job) and that I shouldn't be that mad about a book that came out like 10 years ago, lol

    You're talking about what Tywin said? I guess I'm blanking of the meaning of that? Did he mean to the next person willing to pay?

    Can you explain more without giving away a spoiler? I know
    Tyrion is alive in the 5th book because I think I saw some leaked tyrion pov.

    Not really too much of a spoiler but
    When Tyrion killed Tywin he asked where Tysha was and Tywin said "wherever whores go" and now Tyrion asks everyone the generic question "where do whores go?" They do an amazing job on his psyche after everything that has happened to him imo

    Oh ok gotcha. Intersting. Wish I could start the 5th book now but I have to go through book 4. Not looking forward to it after everyone said it was a letdown.

    the start of the book so far is rough, definitely a much slower read than the last two books, still only about half way through

    When I got to that chapter I threw the book across the room and yelled obcenities for five minutes. That's when I knew that ASOFAI was 100000000x what Harry Potter ever was. I was trying to explain to a friend at the premier last night about these books and basically said that Rowling would never in her mind kill off Harry, Ron, or Hermione, and everyone knew that. GRRM would have killed them all at the end of Sorcerors Stone if he wrote it and that's why these books are so fucking good. The character development is so fantastic and then he just says fuck it and kills people. I don't know why it took me so long to read these books, it completely goes against the classic writing style.....very few authors take the time to connect their readers with the characters only to show how unimportant they are in the grand scheme of things. Awesome book, can't wait for the rest.

    Well remember that most people had just finished book 3 with all that happened in it and waited multiple years (I think 3 or 4) for the next book to come out so the expectations were likely very high. I liked book 4 personally.

    Finished book 3 a couple of days ago. Haven't picked up 4 yet. ASOS is such an emotional roller coaster that's it draining. I feel I need a break from the books for a bit to care again. Saying that I'll probably start book 4 tonight before bed. I've been reading 2 chapters before bed and it's made reading them much more manageable. If I sit down and read for 2-3 straight hours I look up and all this time has gone by but I feel like I didn't even put a dent into the book.

    this should probably be obvious if you are finished with book 3. I'm only on book 4 though so maybe he was trolling.

    that she wanted to stay in Meereen and rule as queen there
