In each one of the books I wanted to hear more from certain people's POV and I kept waiting for different POV's. So what I want to know is, in each book what POV's would you have liked to have more of, which ones would you toss out, and who would you have wished to have read their POV that was not in the books?  I have a few, but, as I have heard and read, it is always the right of the guests to speak first!  You can do any of the books or all of the books.  Any character, and maybe a little bit on why you would want them, the relevance to the story, and if you don't like them, then why?

I would have liked more of Bran in ADWD.

I love where his story is going, and all we got was just a taste.

I also wanted more Littlefinger, in any book.

[Leviathan I]

I want a Stannis POV, I know he isn't a POV character but he's just so awesome.

I wouldn't have minded having a Robb POV. I think that's one area where the show improves on the books. I would've liked more Davos in Dance. I was just getting into his plot there and it cut out.

Varys and Littlefinger and maybe even the Tyrells know too much that we're not meant to know (yet), so they were never going to be POVs.

[Lady Hodor]

I always wondered why there never was a Robb POV. But I think Martin was doing a "No King POV" thing, so Robb was ruled out.
I would have liked to see more Arya in ADWD, she only got like two chapters.
And get rid of Davos, he bores the hell out of me.

So you think that there should have been some Robb and more Davos, who would you like to have seen less of?

[Mr Motte]

I would have liked more Bran and Davos in DwD
Less Dany & Tyrion in DwD

[Jorge Danger]

I've always wanted a Hodor POV. I want to know what's going on in that big lug's head.

I agree that people like Varys and Littlefinger know many things that we aren't really supposed to know yet. It may turn out to be the same case with Bran now. He has eyes everywhere, so he's going to know a great deal of things we probably aren't meant to find out just yet. Not to mention, he's fairly immobile at this point. So I don't think we'll see TOO much of Bran until he physically comes back into the story, which will require other people to go North of The Wall, which sounds likely based on some things George has said in interviews.

NEVER!

[ManyFacedOne]

In Dance I would've liked more of Arya, Bran, Sansa (she wasn't in it at all), Jaime, and Davos.

[Gingerly Grumkin]

GRRM's POV's are too confusing, I would like a Hodor or Lollys chapter. Sounds like a simple read

[Teal'c]

less Dany, more Jon, Bran, and Sam.

[Jamie Lannister]

More of Jaime in Dance. Or Brienne. Or, hell, Catelyn still counts.

For R'hllor's sake...

[genegirl]

I would have loved to see Brienne, Sansa, Sam and Lady (SH) Catelyn in DwD.  There was not enough of Arya but at least there was a follow up from AFFC.

[Lady Lilac]

I was surprised that there wasn't really much Dany in Feast.
I would've liked a POV from Renly or Loras honestly. Well maybe not Renly, since it would've went against the unwritten "no king POV" rule, but maybe Loras. He seems an arrogant brat, but I would've liked a little insight on the Tyrells and some Renly
Less of, I'm not quite sure though. I just know I don't want a Varys or Littlefinger POV, they're more fun like this.

[NickSnow]

I've always said that the Arys Oakheart and Areo Hotah chapters should have somehow been made into Arianne chapters. That way, we would have had one strong character to follow in Dorne, instead of three weak ones. Other than that, I don't think any changes are really neccesary.

[Val the Wildling Princess]

Robb's pov. More Davos in ADWD, less Daenerys everywhere and a wildling POV, preferably Mance.

[The Monkey]

Some kind of Tyrell POV would be nice. I mean, come on, we've had every other major House represented (except for House Arryn, and something tells me Robert wouldn't be a good narrator). Marg, or if she knows too much to give away, maybe Loras. He seems pretty clueless about his family's plotting. Would kill to see a Tommen or Myrcella POV, especially the latter. That girl had brains, would love to see what she thinks of everything that has happened.

[hombay]

I want Gregor Clegane as a POV.
A prologue POV.
