TheBloodOfTheDragon Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Catelyn, Bran, Theon and Jon Snow can have their dull moments. Sansa and Arya were boring until the end of the first book where things started to get interesting, now they're my favorite POV characters. But the most mind numbingly boring POV character is Davos Seaworth, I dread his chapters. Not interested in him, I hope he dies so I won't have to read him again.

Nerevanin Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I hated Aeron Greyjoy's chapters overall. With the other characters, some of them had quite boring passages: In AGOT and ACOF I found Sansa a bit unneccesary, Sam's chapters in early ASOS was all "I'm cold and my whole body is aching", Arya's AFFC and ADWD were a bit meh to me, Jon with wildling in ASOS was like "I broke my vows but I love Ygritte"...EDIT: and Davos and Bran, I totally forgot about them. Yeah, Bran's chapters are probably the most boring throughout all the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Areo Hotah is a dull character, since he is pretty much a CCTV camera, but fortunately I enjoy reading the stuff he observes.I have very little interest in Jon, or the Wall in general, so probably him for me.Victarion too. I dont find his chapters interestung at all. That includes his fight on the Shields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Maid Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The first time I read AFFC I don't know why I found a lot of boring POVs: the Greyjoys (except Theon), the Martells and Brienne. Maybe it was because they were new characters and i wasn't invested emotionally on them (so I didn't care .... for them). I've just finished my first re-read of AFFC and i really enjoyed the book but I still find Brienne's first chapters to be boring because I know her quest in the Riverlands is useless.

Hoffa Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 OP, you're a half empty glass type of person. Rather then "most boring" i see it more like "least interesting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Sansa in AGoT was not boring but really really annoying. Bran in ASoS becomes quite boring except for when Meera tells him the story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just finished my first re-read of AFFC and i really enjoyed the book but I still find Brienne's first chapters to be boring because I know her quest in the Riverlands is useless.I liked AFFC the least of all the books because of the POV characters chosen for it. Jaime is great, Cersei is good and her chapters were definitely interesting but almost all the time they were together in KL so it was a bit unneccesary to have them both. Brienne is okay but her whole plot in AFFC is spoiled because you know where both Arya and Sansa are so it's pretty pointless. Pretty much nothing was happening in Arya's and Sam's chapters. Eventually I'd say the most exciting character in AFFC was Sansa but she had only 3 chapters. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throck Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 50 Shades of Daario I mean Danys ADWD chapters. so much this! But I also add, Arya's latest chapters and the Greyjoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably you found them boring because other than Cersei and Jamie, they ARE boring LOL. Brienne is boring, the Martells are boring. I find the Greyjoys are interesting, but completely unnecessary to the story, except for Theon and Asha. Also, Dany and Tyrion became very boring in the last book.

Promethium Wings Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The storyline that first comes to mind as boring is Brann's, from when Theon loses Winterfell and onwards. There are some one-offs like perhaps the Damphair that are equally boring, but Brann's chapters-times-boringness is the highest.But I just read through this thread and noticed that many named Dany's arc, especially in ADWD. What's that about now? I'd say Daenerys' book five story is up there with he beset of them. I've written some more about it here: https://promethiumwings.wordpress.com/2015/02/11/some-more-about-the-inhabitants-of-westeros/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerionBrightflameII Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Jon Snow is my fave character but some of his chapters drag because he never really meets any main characters. To be fair he is stuck in the same place for 5 books with mostly minor characters but he remains my fave character. Dany because all she seems to think about was Daario and how to please a bunch of cheesemongers. Catelyn.... I hated Sansa's POV until she escaped kings landing.Cersei - i hate her i can't stand being in the mind of such a F***ing moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakkoShade Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Arya, hands down. Not at first, but after she says "valar morghulis" to that Braavosi captain, it was all downhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryaWinchester Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Brienne and Jamie, though I still hold out hope for Jamie. I don't care for Catelyn either, but I liked her chapters. I like Bran, but I can understand why many find him dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poète Lauréat Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I mean I can't think of more tortuous chapters than Danys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Ravens Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Honestly? None of the above for me. I don't need my characters to be constantly embellished by costly special effects, CGI and pyrotechnics in order for me to find them engaging and interesting.
