Jaime : I didnt hate him but didn't like him either. But now he's like in my top 5 favorite characters. He's hilarious and the only thing he did that i really hated was pushing Bran from the window.

Littlefinger : I HATED him. Now i simply don't like him. Let's face it he's a freaking asshole and a traitor. I hated him for kinda killing Ned but when he killed Lysa i was like YAY .

Tywin : I kinda like him but now i just think he's an asshole and he's kinda coward.

Stannis, changed for the good
Robert, changed for the bad.

Sansa, i just could not stand her before, but in ASoS i found her chapters interesting  and did not make me want to skip pages.

I disliked Stannis and Jaime before ASoS, but now I absolutely love them.

While I do not per say love Jaime, he's still insufferable for much of the series, I will admit he's grown on me a bit. That and Stannis going from meh to One God, One Realm, One King! Stannis!"

Lady Catelyn.  I had respect for her at first because I'd started watching the show before getting into the books.  The start of AGoT (book) showed her as less sympathetic due to the way she treated Jon Snow, and when she went as far as to tell Jon he should've been the one to fall off that tower and nearly die after he tried to check on his brother, the respect I had for her died there.

After reading about her more I saw her more as a rounded character than the needlessly jealous wife.  Still couldn't forgive her treatment of Snow, but by the time Brienne pledged her service I found that respect grudgingly returning.

Also while I find Theon absolutely horrible, the culture of the Iron Islands is interesting.

Samwell, Sansa, and Jaime.

Samwell became one of my favourite characters in this book. I thought his early chapter had an amazing melancholic, hopeless ambience to them, which I really liked. Some of his chapters were my among my favourites in the entire book. Too bad nobody likes him..
Sansa finally did something to her situation, and by doing that earned my respect. Actually looking forward to her story in AFFC.
I didn't like Jaime that much before, but now that I know much more backstory and his mentallity, he became a much more interesting character.

The Dany storyline has so far been my favorite, with a close second Arya. But Jorah Mormont was my favorite character, and it killed me to see Dany banish him. Starting to lose respect for Dany because of that, and for beginning to trust Daario.

Arya chapters were always humorous seeing the world through a wild little girl's eyes. I was really hoping that she would go off to Braavos or something though so she could continue to become a skilled swordsman. Now it seems like she is somewhat abandoning that goal and some of her fire, so that's dissappointing.

At first I didn't really care much about littlefinger, but now I like him. I know, I know -he's an asshole. But being low-born and aspiring to become something higher is pretty cool. I kind of like how manipulative and calculating he is- especially at the end of SoS, that was definately an "OH SNAP" moment.

I don't like Sansa in AGOT; her POVs are so annoying to read. Same feelings in ACOK. ASOS is not so bad though she still annoys me in her first few chapters. Her POVs at the Vale are good, especially the part with Littlefinger and Lysa. As a character, she's still my least favorite Stark, but I admit, she improved a bit in my eyes.

Hands down: Jaime. He had such a great turn-around during that book; GRRM is amazing. I totally forgot about Bran.

I also really began to like Sansa a lot more. In the first book, she was annoying as anything, then in the second book i felt bad for her, but in ASOS she really became her own character. I especially like her in her last chapter, because that scene was amazing. GRRM is amazing

By the end of the book, other characters that stood out: Oberyn Martell (his scene is incrtedibly powerful, I can't wait to see it on the show), Littlefinger (he becomes dangerous. I like dangerous), Margaery Tyrell and Olenna Tyrell.

Notable mentions for me: Tywin, because his character is so badass.

And I think that's it. Although, I think that Dany does well in this book, twenty times better than in ADWD, in my opinion.
