Yes. These are the most “rereadable” books I’ve come across.

This isn’t a fair comparison. The Civil War was a prolonged conflict. In the case of Dany, we are talking about the sack of a city. It would have been pretty horrific if a Union general ordered all white people killed in a particular city, especially since the children dying in the Civil War were almost completely poor people with no hand in the slave trade. I’m not faulting Dany on the decision or anything, but the comparison is apples and oranges as far as it being “worth it”.

It might just be me but I think that would suck fun out of the books. Like every reader, I’ve always been intrigued by this supernatural force “just over the horizon” but what I LOVE is the more grounded political aspect of the books. It seems like the war with the Others would be the natural climax but I really hope there’s a more human twist to things. If that makes any sense.

I loved this. And I tend to agree. Prior to the Red Wedding, Walder looked after his own better than any lord I can think of.

This has turned into a very interesting discussion with valid points on both sides. I tend to agree with @Lord Varys that the true test of a great warrior comes from well... war.

Those who know based on confession from one of the twins -Tyrion (already knew but Cersei confirms it) -Ned -Cat (Jamie’s jailhouse confession) -Iylin Payne Am I missing anyone?

I’m one of the few people on this forum who truly enjoy’s every character in these novels. The different “camps” I see in the fandom is something I can’t understand. If the character is written well (and most are) then I like them.

Such as??? Haha Ive lost count of how many times I’ve read the books so I feel I have a good of a gasp of the content as most people on here but I’m also well aware that I can learn a lot from other’s perspective’s. Who’s charging money for their “knowledge?” I’m really at a loss. Youtubers? Podcasters? Please fill me in.

Nope.

This It just doesn’t work from a narrative perspective. Also, if I had the means to conquer a continent that was my families for 300 years, you’re damn right I would want to.

Ned’s talk to Arya about how Lyanna’s “wolf’s blood” led to her early grave may be a large clue into the nature of her abduction/eloping.

I’ve never thought about it before but I have to say, this makes the most sense.

He is very good at not leaving plot holes. As far as every single thread being developed to its fullest and all connecting thematic, I seriously doubt it. But what he does do really well is having a "tight" plot that's difficult to poke holes through.

If this was the case, Jaime would be dead. This is probably right.

This is a stand up bit.
