Jory's Shade Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Brienne's story gets better and better... I just read the chapther where she arrives at the crossroads inn. First, Gendry being there and her puzzling together he was Robert's bastard was keenly done. I hope she tells him if he is around after the battle. But the most amazing part of the chapter was her fight against Rorge and Biter. It was the best combat sequence since Oberyn fought Gregor. It was also awesomee to learn that Rorge and Biter were leading what was left of the Brave Companions and were the outlaws responsible for the masacre at Saltpans and the raids along the trident. I love that Roger had Sandor's helm. Too bad he's dead and can't tell us if the Elder Brother's story about Sandor's grave was true... This chapter is one of the many reasons why AFFC is teh awesome!

Jory's Shade Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Dude! I knew she would see Cat as Lady Stoneheart, but I did not expect it to go that way! I am about to start ADWD. This book was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Beyond the Wall Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I just read this chapter...I agree,there were some awesome parts. I especially liked how Brienne recognized Gendry because of his resemblance to Renly...that really worked for me! I just wish she had gotten a chance to tell him before she was interrupted by the riders...the fight was awesome, I must admit. I feel bad for Brienne though, now that her face has been bitten. The world was not an easy place for her before, due to her looks (and prejudice in a patriarchal society Anyhow, can't wait to get more of her story.

Queensmoot Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 That was an amazing scene! Especially the bit at the end about Biter's tongue... 3 books worth of much needed justice in an evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moester Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm more concerned about Dog. Gendry said that Brienne killed Dog, but how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm more concerned about Dog. Gendry said that Brienne killed Dog, but how?I'm pretty sureGendry was referring to Rorge, who had been wearing the hound helm.And I agree that this chapter was phenomenal. Brienne really proves, in my mind, that she's the truest knight we've seen in this series.I especially liked her internal monologue right before the fight where she notes that there are seven of them, and she doesn't have a chance, but she has no choice.

Jory's Shade Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Have ya'll gotten to the follow up chapter at the end of the book yet? I would love to hear your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Beyond the Wall Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I did....wow. I will be so sad if Brienne dies! I am not surprised that Catelyn was as 'stonehearted' as lady stoneheart. Death drove her even crazier than she was before...I really can't wait to read what happens. I am hoping that whatever Brienne said will be enough to stay Un-Cats hand and save them all, at least long enough for her to do some explaining or kill some zombies!

Jory's Shade Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I think she says Arya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moester Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think she says Arya I'm curious as to why you think she would say that because she doesn't have any good lead on that girl. They'll probably just hang her again after she says what little she could about her. She'll most likely say Sword Knowing GRRM it could be anything! But I'm pretty sure we can count out Noose here, yeah? Obviously it wouldn't do her any good ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think she says Arya I don't think this would help her, as the brotherhood already knows Arya is alive, and has probably told Catelyn. Brienne doesn't really know any more than they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think she says Arya That was my immediate thought as well. But then, she doesn't know anything about Arya, that Gendry, Lem or Thoros couldn't have told UnCat already. Still, it's the only word that would make sense to me.

Still, it's the only word that would make sense to me. unless of course the BWB did not tell Stoneheart they lost her. They didn't know for sure she was taken by Sandor Clegane, Brienne, however, does know that she was in Saltpans and that she was no longer there and that the Elder Brother informed her about Sandor whom she believes is alive and on the quiet isle. You know the tall and quiet brother with the limp... Well that's my thought. So she may have said Hound, but I believe Arya would be the one word she would say.

Mattyp Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I really hope Brienne isn't dead. I think her fate may be revealed in ADWD but that's only guess work. Brienne is one of my favourite characters, even if the majority of her chapters were pretty boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Octarina Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I think she said Jaime [That was what I thought when I read AFFC. But a few paragraphs in ADWD made me change my mind and see how riddiculously romantic I was. I'll never make that mistake in a GRRM book again.And I agree with you all - AFFC made me love Brienne (I just sympathized with her before). One of the most honorable characters in the series. And look at her fate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
