Ser Grifter Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Pg. 500Another very good chapter - the placing of the sandsnakes in various areas of Kings Landing is brilliant as was the reveal of Ser Balon's evil plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loras Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 An immensely frustrating chapter. I feel that Martin chose Hotah to purposely kept the reader out of the loop about the finer details of Doran's plan. Hotah as the narrator adds nothing to this chapter, other than the fact that he isn't there to think.I wish that we had read this chapter from Arianne's PoV. This chapter should really have been at the end of AFFC, it would have mirrored 'Captain of the Guards' very well and kept a suitable cliffhanger for the next book.I doubt that Tyene is going to get on very well with the High Septon.

Maginor Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The only thing that disappointed me with this chapter was that I had hoped that Aegon's invasion had progressed a little longer. Otherwise it was fairly interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellspring Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I like that, in the end, Prince Doran can still command the loyalty of the Sand Snakes. And Cersei's plot is hilarious. It's especially funny because it makes no sense and actually hurts rather than helps her-- which fits perfectly with how she's been ruling so far. For that reason, I agree with Loras that it belonged in Feast for Crows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Selig Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Very good chapter. I really like the Dornish chapters.Any ideas who informed Doran about Cercei's plan to kill Trystane on the way to KL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_In_The_North Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Very good chapter. I really like the Dornish chapters.Any ideas who informed Doran about Cercei's plan to kill Trystane on the way to KL?He's the Prince of Dorne. Men seek his favor.

Kirazi Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 More plot and intrigue, good stuff. It'll be good to have the sand snakes positioned in Kings Landing when Aegon/Dany join with Dorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direwolf named bob Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The only thing that disappointed me with this chapter was that I had hoped that Aegon's invasion had progressed a little longer. Otherwise it was fairly interesting.If they already have word of Aegon's fleet, they are probably a bit closer than you might think. I doubt they got word from a raven from the free cities. They more likely got the information from a ship that sailed just before Aegon/GC left and landed on Dorne's east coast who then sent a raven over. We also don't know how long ago they got this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunha Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It makes me think if Tyene had anything to do with Cersei last events in AFFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joke Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It makes me think if Tyene had anything to do with Cersei last events in AFFCI think not, because I think this scene is set after the end of AFFC. Wasn't Balon Swann still working his way to Dorne by the end of AFFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malarky1231 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yes the events take place after affc. Balon Swann had just arrived in Dorne before this chapter. Doran is just starting to set his pieces in motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-for-Joffrey Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Random [crackpot?] theory that just popped in my head when reading this chapter. Is Septa Lemore perhaps Tyene's mother by Oberyn? Maybe that's why she was defrocked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Qorgyle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 My crackpot theory is that Doran's informer is Lady Merryweather. She's so close to Cersei because she showed to her that she wasn't loyal to the Tyrells... but that doesn't mean she couldn't have some other loyalties that Cersei didn't think of. Our good Cersei was so obsessed with Highgarden that she didn't spare a thought about her other enemies in the Realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Targaryen Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Random [crackpot?] theory that just popped in my head when reading this chapter. Is Septa Lemore perhaps Tyene's mother by Oberyn? Maybe that's why she was defrocked?That was exactly my thought when reading this chapter. Though I have no real evidence for it. Just the coincidence that Lemore must have had a child once and Tyene's mother was a septa.Is it really Gregor's skull? If yes, what is Qyburn doing in the dungeons of KL? Attempting a head transplant? If no, where did they obtain a skull of this size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andhaira Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Guys, I seriously think Doran was lying through his teeth to the Sandsnakes. He just wanted to get them riled up and listen to his commands, so he chose the easiest way to do it. There is no plot against Trystane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_In_The_North Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 WHY THE HELL WOULD CERSEI WANT TO KILL TRYSTANE?! It doesn't make any sense!! Which is completely in-character for Cersei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
