ASOIAF: Game of Thrones Books (Contains SPOILERS!!)

Thanks for doing this. I'm tired of people not realizing they are giving stuff away with their comments. That said, this will be my last post in this thread until I am caught up

 

Read all of 'em. Whaddaya wanna know? The last one was like a shitty reality show following around a midget in a boat, from what I remember.

If you want to read something groundbreaking and different, with great characters and plotlines at the same time, pick up some fantasy by Daniel Abraham or Adrian Tchaikovsky. Or just wait around forever for Martin and hope he decides to remember he's not Robert Jordan and actually start moving forward to some conclusion.

 

I was contemplating creating a thread soley for the book.. I kid you not.

I was going to have the mods chime in 1st but now that you've done it, THANK YOU!!!

JFTR,
No Book or Spoilers in the GOT HBO thread... Going to title them accordingly

 

Jon Snow might be a candidate for being reborn under salt and smoke.

 

The Starks and Targaeryns are the main characters. It is either Jon Snow or Dany.

Here are some questions for you?

How does Arya influence anything for the rest of the books?

How does Tyrion influence anything for the rest of the books?

How does Sam influence anything for the rest of the books?

How does Bran influence anything by turning into a tree in the past, especially since there are so few trees remaining?

If Snow and Dany are two heads, who is the third head? Aegon? Tyrion? Rickon??

As I said in HBO thread, after how poor book 5 was, I'm not reading until he finishes the series.

My guess is that he does NOT finish in 2 more books. Too much to wrap up, especially with the Ironborn still running around out there.

 

ill return to this thread once i finish the 5th book....But wanted to say that GRRM really needs up his game for the final 2 books to solidify the series as a all time great in fantasy

First three books are classics

 

I have no interest in reading the books, and I am a huge fan of the tv show at the same time. But, I am a big fan of knowing what comes next, somehow, I have a knack for watching tv like it's the first time I'm seeing it every time. Meaning, spoilers doesn't really spoil it for me, so thanks to all of you in advance for the great spoilers to come. :beer:

 

Book 4 and 5 both ended on high notes though the beginning was a bit dry. Book 5 was a quality book, right up there with 2 I'd say. Nothing's matched the awesomeness of book 3 yet...

 

I'm thinking the same thing.

I still think he is Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen's legitimately born son. Lyanna wasn't kidnapped and raped, she ran away with him by choice, maybe married him like Rob did his wife (I forget her name) and she died during childbirth. She made Ned swear before dying that he wouldn't tell anyone he was a Targaryen because they would kill him and he swore to raise him himself. This makes Jon Snow the legitimate heir to the throne, which, ultimately, is meaningless because considering he took the black and therefore gives up all his lands and titles.

That and he got stabbed a bunch of times and could be dead. I don't think he will be though.

I recognize there are holes in this story but nothing that can't be explained away. Unfortunately, if I am right, Ned Stark was probably the only one who knew the truth and it would have died with him.

 

Four was the worst by far, still not a terrible book but sucked by compairson.

I would rank them as follows: 3, 1, 2, 5, 4.

 

Might also be the other Targaryen that recently returned to Westeros.

 

Howland Reed was at the Tower of Joy.

 

That's true, just him and Ned survived. So he's the only one that this potential story can be revealed through. Hopefully he doesn't die.

 

I'd argue the Lannisters are really the main characters.
