MyDogIsNamedDanerys Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It seemed exactly the same to me.It's different, I think - longer. I didn't remember a lot of the stuff in the middle, like the fighting pits guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a few months, so I bow to your more up to date knowledge. The only reason I thought so was that both me and my husband thought it was longer, but maybe we were just sympathizing with Dany and her interminable session at court. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblonaut Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I felt really sorry for the guy whose child was burned, and Dany too :S Must have been a really tough situation. I'm waiting on how she'll resolve it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I couldn't help but think of Viserys when Dany warned someone about waking the dragon, and it sounded just as cheesy.The three heads of the crown she has is made of jade, onyx and ivory. Do you think there is a significance behind the three stones?I don't think her dragons caused the burning of the child. I think she's being set up.

Lady Alyana Hightower Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The three heads of the crown she has is made of jade, onyx and ivory. Do you think there is a significance behind the three stones?I think the significance of the stones is likely that they are approximately the same color as her three dragons. Jade being green (like Rhaegal), Onyx black (like Drogon) and Ivory white (like Viserion). So, the crown was probably just made with those stones to represent her dragons.

I wasn't even thinking of the dragons or their color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennelyn Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Danaerys needs to spend less time in court and more time training her dragons. Seems to me the description of the bones is pretty consistent with what I'd imagine a dragon attack to look like. Even the longer bones were pried open for their marrow. They are growing larger and they are predators. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened. If Dany doesn't act, she may lose all control of them.

Greyjoy the Reaver Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Danaerys needs to spend less time in court and more time training her dragons.

They are growing larger and they are predators. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened. If Dany doesn't act, she may lose all control of them.Agreed training her dragons should be the most important thing she does. She could leave her court to advisors and just over see decisions instead of hearing everyone out. I love the part where the womans house has been turned into a brothel and Dany says she abandoned it.It is bad luck to touch the dead... could this be prophecy about the White Walkers.......I love it when they say "it is known"I have a feeling that Dany is going to need Barristan the Bold if she is to successfully return to Westeros.If I were Dany I would take the Shavepates advice and kill a member from each great family. A sure fire way to stop the harpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 A mediocre chapter with a spectacular last sentence. I didn't expect that at all, damn. I'm so curious to see what will happen next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion94 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I have a feeling that Dany is going to need Barristan the Bold if she is to successfully return to Westeros.I agree, Selmy is both a skilled fighter, and if I am not mistaken, popular the people of Westeros. Keeping him provides both protection and a good image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archmaester Timbo Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 For what its worth I thought some of Dany's judgements were too harsh. She is trying to be strong and fair but sometimes a bit of mercy is the real sign of strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
