I've almost certainly missed a few, please feel free to point them out.Surprisingly low death toll for named characters, 35 not that much above AFFC's low. Martin's smite button tends to fall on the unnamed extras, giving much bloodier tale to the reader than this list bears out.You're missing a few deaths. I'm rereading ADwD now and the 6 Unsullied who were killed in an early Dany chapter(including Missandi's brother) were all named. You also missed Groat, Penny's brother. And Penny's dog Crunch also was killed. There are a bunch of minor,unimportant, named deaths peppered in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the two leaders that came after him were also named. Also the guy who tried to kill Drogon, the so called hero. His name is revealed post-mortem.

Nymeria's pup Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Horza your list rocks..."Didn't fear the Weeper" is priceless!I suppose Martin gets his rep because he killed Ned, which was horrifying to me at the time, but alas necessary if you are going to have a story. Also killing Robb and Cat (UnCat is another matter) and for my Lady. Lady was a heartless killing. The killing of Ned was quite shocking though for many and set the tone even if GRRM has not killed off that many main characters of late. That, and the threat is always there. I suspect we will get many more deaths of major characters soon. Besides he can only kill off so many major peeps...you have to have someone to write about ;-)As for the dead coming back. I don't feel this is necessarily too contrived or overused as some others feel. In a world where news does not travel all that quickly, rumors are rampant, and being "dead" can be a good thing, it make sense that many people come back from the dead figuratively and literally in some cases. For example Arya. Everyone just assumes she is dead because they cannot find her and she is so young how can she possibly make it on her own.

Silver Spearwife Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Skimmed the thread. No one mentioned Quentyn as a narrator that died, that I could see. Narrators (updated):Prologues/Epilogues:WillMaster CressenChettMerrett FreyPateVaramyr Sixskins (lives on through One Eye)Kevan LannisterOther narrators:Eddard StarkCatelyn Stark (revived)Arys OakheartQuentyn MartellTo whoever pointed out characters dying in their own chapters: Other than prologues and epilogues, I have long noticed this phenomenon. I stuck by it, but Theon always pissed me off because he was the exception - he did, after all, die at the end of his own chapter.But then it turned out that that wasn't true. I've restored my faith in the theory that narrators don't die at the end of their own chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zizoz Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 To be fair, this is a thread that deserves to be bumped, IMO. I've referred to it a few times in the past, and I'm sure there are people seeing it now who wanted to know how many people died in ASOIAF.
