[ADwD Spoilers] Top 10 favorite characters (post ADWD)


Whitebeard

Recommended Posts

This is my Top 10 based on the books, not on the show - I love the show but there are some characters I care much more in the TV show than in the books (Robb, Cat, Sersei, Varys, Tywin, Margery, even Tyrion) and vice versa (I am relatively indifferent to TV show Jon, Littlefinger, Renly, Loras, Sandor, Edmure), so here is my Top 10 of Book characters:



1. Jon - He is a good person and a good leader in the books.


2. Theon - he has really tragic and complex story


3. Sansa - the girl has a potential !


4. Arya - she scares me, but that's the point


5. Samwell - he is adorable


6. Varys - he is a dangerous bastard but at least he claims to do it all for realm


7. Quentyn - He is a decent guy with very human feelings and aspirations


8. Doran - I appreciate his life philosophy


9. Brienne - the best knight!


10. Edmure - because he cares about people.



Special mention - Aegon - some people presume he is arrogant and shallow - I haven't seen that (yet?) but I see a lot of promise, maybe I am an optimist. So I put him here, at least till TWOW

1. Arya- can't wait for her vengeance
2. Jon Snow- most excited about his story line

no particular order
Barristan- interesting to see the weathered old fighter in him

Blackfish- he survived for a reason, very curious about what happens with him
Oberyn- one of the most interesting characters, damn shame he had to go
Davos- another strong, loyal character. always admire that
Jaime- want to see if he dies a hero or villain
Loras- fun seeing a young, proud fighter coming into his own, but whats up with his injuries?
Brienne- nice to see a strong heroic female character
Sand Snakes- every one of them is the red vipers daughter and I love that

If Davos and Jon, the only two consistently moral characters in the entire story, aren't near the top of your list, something's wrong with you.

Arya (it is so great, that she is completly unpredictable. It is real fun to wonder about her future.)


Dany (I actually even liked her mereenese chapters. I am still dumfounded about the reader-reactions...)


Jon (I liked him from the beginning and still do.)


Sam (I somehow think I see myself in him (minus the weight-problems))


Theon (He got really interesting and gruesome I actually want him to die now. Isn´t it beautifully horrible?)


Sansa (She was one of my least favourite characters, but now I am really curious about her end-game)


Davos (He is just so nice. I just like him.)


Melisandre (I admit: I have a thing for evil sorceresses. But I really think most people are underestimating her capability and overestimating her evil nature.)


Bran (I wasn´t too much into his story in the beginning. But since he arrived north of the wall, I love his story.)


Asha (The only Greyjoy with something called brain. You gotta love her!)
