GoT Update: I’m done

Featured imageI finished A Dance of Dragons and now I am where everyone else is the world is.  Waiting. So many questions.  This goes without saying but the following will spoil things if you haven’t read them.

Jon Snow? Did he survive the attack of his brothers?  Did pull a Bran and take over Ghost?  Will Ghost save him?  Jaime?  Is Brienne leading him to his death by Lady Stoneheart?  What of Stannis?  Is he really dead like Ramsey says or is this just a trick to lure out the Jon Snow and the Night’s watch? Can Queen Selsye be any less likable? If Mance’s change of appearance is on glamour thanks to the ruby he wears does that mean that Melisandre looks are also a glamour? What of Bran? Rickon? and Davos?  My poor poor Davos.

I’m sad about Quentyn.  We barely knew you lad but what a terrible way to go.  Cersei, just got lucky.  I have a feeling she will be soon free to run Westoros into the ground and further corrupt her son.  Poor Tommen.  At least he has his kittens.  And where are they sending Arya again?  And Dany? Is she going to march back into Meereen, as Khalessi again with Khal Jhogo and Drogon in tow? And how has every thing that has happened play or mess Tyrion’s plan with the Second Sons?  And what of Sansa and Littlefinger?  We know that Littlefinger hasn’t been idle all this time.

I probably have more questions but I can’t think of them right now. When does the Winds of Winter come out?

GoT Update

I’m still working on my Top 10 list for books I have read but in the mean time, a little update. I have finished A Feast For Crows!  Finally!  As I stated before, it started off slow.  So many new characters.  So many characters that were only briefly mentioned before came back, that then I had to spend time trying to remember who they were.  And the Iron Born.  At first I wasn’t sure why I should care what was going on in the Iron Isles but figured, Mr. Martin wouldn’t write it if it didn’t matter but damn, some of those early chapters were painful.

After, I got through all of that, the book picked up and boy did it pick up.  Cersei got off the local train to crazy town and got on the Express.  As the reader, we have the benefit of knowing what is going on the realm that Cersei doesn’t but then again, if she wasn’t so paranoid and short sighted, she might have been able to tell good advice from bad.  And what happened with Brienne? What did she say?  Did it save her?  and Jamie, so proud of you.  Littlefinger, still creepy. Arya? What?  Is she blind blind?

So many questions.  Can’t wait to dive into A Dance of Dragons.  What’s going on with Tyrion?  How is Commander Snow faring?  Are Dany’s Dragons behaving themselves?  Ok, Mr, Martin.  Bring it.
