Lost Melnibonean Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Is there some significance here or just color? If the climbing roses are the Tyrells? What is the abandoned watchtower? Jaime spied a watchtower on the heights ahead, growing taller with every stroke of the oars. Long before they were upon it, he knew that it stood abandoned, its weathered stones overgrown with climbing roses. Jaime I, StormETA: Perhaps the Targaryen occupation of the Iron Throne?

Ygritte Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Is there some significance here or just color? If the climbing roses are the Tyrells? What is the abandoned watchtower?Jaime I, Storm I don't even remember where Jaime is at that point, but it might be meant to draw a parallel to the Tower of Joy, which I think may have been supposed to be an old watchtower and has a rose connection via Lyanna.

The Tyrells overtaking the Hightower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biter the Gallant Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 It's already been listed but I just had to second it because this time around it hit me in the face: Victarion is absolutely stupid! What he says! What he does! What he thinks! I don't think he even tries to think. It is also funny that Theon (who is not kind of a genius himself either, to say the least) is completely right about Victarion: back in ASOS he tells Asha that Victarion is just a great grey bullock :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amethyst Empress Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 It's not important but I just noticed that Gatehouse Ami,Fat Walda and Little Walder are all children of Merrett Frey(you know the one that was killed by LS in the epilogue of ASOS)Wow I thought they were all cousins not siblings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoshi Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 That we're never told if Lord Commander Mormont had a steward before Jon Snow. If not, why Jon? If yes, what happened to that steward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dishrack Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 That we're never told if Lord Commander Mormont had a steward before Jon Snow. If not, why Jon? If yes, what happened to that steward? He did have a steward IIRC, only one that couldn't read or write etc. I'm fairly certain Jon replaced someone. ETA: On second thought I'm thinking of Sam replacing Chett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moyo Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Just realised on my first reread of ADWD that, when Arya was the „Blind Beth“ in Braavos, she was warging the cat to find out who of all the people in the HoBaW was always picking a fight with her.No idea how that could have went by me on my first read. :blink: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moyo Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 :stunned: I didn't even realise til now. When I read that chapter the first time I didn‘t even think of it, but once I noticed, I really wondered why I hadn‘t picked up on it earlier.I don‘t have the book at hand, so no actual quotes, but I‘ll try to recollect.When the Kindly Man asks her about the three things she‘s learned that day (as he apparently always does), the third thing she tells him is that she knows it is him who always hits her. She then thinks of how the cat from Pynto‘s (right?) inn followed her home and that she know‘s it because of that.Also, when she‘s begging in the tavern, she can see three sailors next to her through the eyes of the cat for a short moment, I believe.
