So this book starts off pretty well. You get a decent prologue and then three great POVs in which some cool stuff happens. Then you get hit with a Bran. Has there ever been a more buzz-killing main character ever written? Yeah, we get it, you can't walk and it sucks but you can dream. *yawn* As...

Hallow everybody! Just signed in. I have read the first three installations of ASOIAF years ago and just finished AFFC and the hedge knight novels. Two questions (that you are probably already board from). How did Dunkens’ shield came to the old armory at Tarth? And is there any significance to...

Just wondering, how big is the Westerosi continent supposed to be in relation to the eastern continent. Beacuse in the books Westeros doesent seem too big and the east sounds huge. But on a few maps I'veseen (not sure how official they are) They look to be not that much different.

I'm on page 202 of the paperback copy of A Storm of Swords. I just finished a chapter with Catelyn and, having been extremely concerned for Robb so far, I am terrified now. All of the plotlines being fleshed out so far seem to spell doom for a good deal of the character I enjoy. Just...

I am rereading A Game of Thrones is there any specific part anybody would like me to loo kfor if so let me know...I am looking for some stuff as well well elt me know if u are looking for something in it

Ser Mandon attempted to assassinate Tyrion in the chaos of Stannis' assault on King's Landing. Mandon ended up all wet and Tyrion won by a nose. Anyway, Tyrion in the opening chapters of ASOS is convinced that Cersei ordered Mandon to kill him. To find out the truth, Tyrion sends Bronn to...

I have ehard this theory before and i don't know if there are any tips for this to beleived...but Does anybody have any insight to this cause I really want to know the mystery behind coldhand's...and I jsut want to know if Benjen is dead or not cause he was a total BADASS

Crazy theory, I know, but it is my belief that The Children of the Forest, KNEW that Bran was going to be crippled. In fact, he may have NEEDED to be crippled so that his powers would be unlocked, but I don't believe so. Anyway, I think that Old Nan is either a Children of the Forest herself, or...

I'm yet to finish AFFC so ignore me if this has been suggested already, or if some other reason comes up that it won't happen, like a virulent strain of dragonpox, but... (I guess Bran won't feature in AFFC anyway?) Does anyone reckon that Bran will take control of a dragon at any point? As a...

I'm not sure if I can dedicate a whole thread to ME lol But since all horses are dead (well most of them) :D I want to share with you my pic of Arya: Arya of House Stark by ~jekaa on deviantART And if you liked her, there is a close up: Arya of House Stark - close up by ~jekaa on deviantART...

If this subject has been brought up already I apologize. Ok we know some strange person seemingly killed Pate and is now posing as pate, but what baffles me is why he had to add "like the pig boy" last sentence of the book. Who is this pig boy? The only thing I can think of for some reason...

No, it's not finished yet. GRRM will say on his website when it's done :) However, Bantam have told Pat from the respected blog Pat's Fantasy Hotlist: Actually, nothing too revelatory there. Given the 5-6 month editorial cycle needed for ASoS and AFFC, it was physically impossible to get ADWD...

Not been on here a long time but anyone got some views on what is going to happen with Bran??? One thing I would like to see happen would be for him to take control of Hodor's body and become a knight... Thoughts???

GRRM attended InConJunction last week and read out the ADWD prologue, a chapter he's apparently struggled with for some time. Obviously, MAJOR SPOILERS: :eek: Awesome. Much more detailed information here.

Alright. I've read the books. I've read the R+L=J thread (well, parts of it), and I've been drinking. The kids are with the grandparents and wifey's got a wicked summer cold. I listened to the audiobooks for the entire series also and I know for a fact that Tyrion gives away the answer for the...

I haven't been around the forum in ages, and I do not want to start a flame war, but I found this info on Amazon UK: Paperback: 704 pages Publisher: Voyager (7 April 2008) Language English ISBN-10: 0002247399 ISBN-13: 978-0002247399 Now, this is the UK release, and I do not know if the...

It just occured to me (as it probably occured to the whole lot of you already) that the books made me think about Sansa importance the wrong way. The importance of Sansa and Tyrions wedding is not his claim on Winterfell, but her claim on Casterly Rock. I mean when you think about it, we...

Hey, I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a record of all the ADwD preview POV chapters that have been posted on the GRRM website? I mean like the actual postings, not summaries. I would be really grateful. Thanks. Lena.

At the Boston fantasy convention this past weekend (Boskone) GRRM read out what appears to be the last 'new' chapter from ADWD that will be unveiled before the book is published (although he may change his mind). It features an interesting battle sequence of the sort which a lot of people seemed...

I have just started to re-read AGoT and a thought struck me during one of the Arya chapters. It was the chapter where she was down in the dungeons of King's Landing after chasing a cat for Syrio. She comes across two men who are conspiring to kill Eddard because they are Targaryen sympathizers...
