Ser Hellingly Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 So far it goes Daenerys, Tyrion, Arya for me. Oh and Sam, as he reminds me a little of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyFriend Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I just finished the book today and cannot wait to start CoK!!!!I am obsessed with Dany (and Mormont by proxy) and obviously absolutely love Tyrion.I have to add that I really like the Spider. While his loyalty is obviously wavering, it is really refreshing to see someone so dedicated to the greater good (the realm).I also really enjoy Littlefinger. I think it's because he is so damn unpredictable and there is something endearing about his back story with Catelyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariebeth Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 First off, this is my first post & I've come from a non-fantasy reading background, but I am so grateful to the TV series for introducing me to the books. I'm halfway through a Clash of Kings at the moment, the books are just amazing reading.Anyway, my favourite characters from book 1 were:AryaJonTyrionDanyI can't just pick one, but these were the chapters in the books that I most looked forward to.

Robb_ Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 My favourite characters from Book 1:1. Tyrion2. Jon3. Arya4. Robb5. Catelyn (I really disliked her at first the way she is with Jon, but she ends up redeeming herself). On contrast, my favourites from Season 1 of the show:1. Robb2. Arya3. Jon4. Tyrion5. BronnI think Littlefinger, Varys, and Renly are also much better characters in the book. I don't think the first two have been explained enough in the show yet. But I do think that Jorah, Drogo, Jaime, and Viserys are better in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallofice Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 My favorite characters after reading book one were Jon and Daenerys, but they've shifted a bit upon subsequent novels.My favorite characters in the TV show so far, meanwhile, are Robb and Dany. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassiabella Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I am almost done with the book my favorite characters are Jon, Arya, Robb, and Daenerys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyFriend Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I think Littlefinger, Varys, and Renly are also much better characters in the book. I don't think the first two have been explained enough in the show yet. I agree with you - especially when it comes to Renly. Renly wasn't a character that left much of an impact on me during the show. After reading the book, however, he was much more dynamic and significant.

colossus the unstoppable Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I like Jon as a pov character and King Robert and non-pov character. Jon because of his personality and the interesting setting we only get to see through him and Robert because I pity him more than anyone else. He may br King but he has only one true friend, his wife cheats on him, the love his life was dead before they could even marry, he takes care of children under a false pretense of being their father, and he is just a drunken bored warrior who is stuck in politics instead of fighting.

Warlock Vetolgar Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Poor Bran, I think only one person included him on his list. It's a tough world when you have the likes of Tyrion, Arya, and Daenerys to compete against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agon Khan Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hey guys, new here...almost done with Game of Thrones. Got into the books when I was educated about them via the HBO TV Series. I have to say my favorite character is Jaime Lannister! Love his wit, love his badassery- sure, he's involved in an incestuous relationship with his sister, but so what? Creepy, but that ain't harming anyone, and I don't approve of a lot of his actions but I understand why he does them. I can't wait to learn more about him. Sure he's painted as a "bad guy" so far but damn, he's still cool.Not harming anyone? I seem to recall him throwing an eight year old out a tower window.

Warlock Vetolgar Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I suppose Agon Khan is referring to how incest, in essence, harms no one. (That Bran caught Jaime mid-thrust is another story) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agon Khan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I suppose Agon Khan is referring to how incest, in essence, harms no one. (That Bran caught Jaime mid-thrust is another story)I would also like to add that Joffrey's very living existence is, for lack of a better word, harmful. Something is wrong there. Something that goes beyond being a spoiled brat.There's a reason half the Targaryen's were crazy. I think Joffrey is no coincidence.Not to mention the murders committed and wars fought to cover it up...PLENTY of harm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westros Woman Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Game of Thrones, hands down,Dany. Not because she was a true Dragon but because she was a true survivor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanceloot Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I am really enjoying the wit of Tyrion Lannister. I also love Arya's spirit, Ned's honor, and Jon's empathy. There are so many good characters. It's tough to choose only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegon II Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Jon, unassuming underdog, makes you feel something great in store for him. Arya, feisty little girl off to her adventures.Tywin, firm conscience-less efficient tactician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdv Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Game of Thrones, hands down,Dany. Not because she was a true Dragon but because she was a true survivor.That's pretty much how I feel about Dany. And Arya's spirit. Those are my two favorites in the first book. There's other great characters, like Ned, but the spirit both girls have is admirable.

Tosca Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I enjoyed most of the characters in GoT a lot, whether I loved or hated them. I guess I didn't get the same impression as a lot of you guys, though, because Dany and Jon were probably my least favourites in the whole book. :worried: Jon is... incredibly whiny, given the lack of suffering he endures in comparison to some other characters, and Dany... she seemed quite the archetype of a Mary Sue to me. :ack: As for my favourite characters, of course Tyrion steals the show, so he should be disqualified. :rolleyes: Excepting him, Varys, Cersei and the Hound were the three I became most attached to, and I still am not completely sure why, considering they're not even POV characters. They don't whine or preach about being noble, and never seem to be stuck in a quagmire of moral dilemmas. They don't make pretences or apologize for their varying degrees of evilness. Refreshing. :smug: (I guess there are a few other characters who fit this bill but I inevitably found something to dislike about them) In the TV series I also fell in love with Bran and Arya (aww!) and Khal Drogo, well, um.... yeah. :drunk: *runs out of coherent words here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
