Least Fav POV?

[Roose Seal]

I liked Arys' PoV. It wasn't crucial to the plot, sure, but it made for nice characterization.

Dany's chapters in DwD just seem like all the stuff that happens in them is completely unrelated to the main plot and is eventually completely inconsequential. Is there actually anyone out there who cares about the players and politics in Meereen ? And the whole "who is the Harpy" thing ? Or what happens to Daario at all ?

1. That's actually the impression I got when I first read it. I couldn't put my finger on what the bloody hell it had to do with anything else that was going on. Most of the Westerosi who were supposed to be going to meet Dany either bailed out or never arrived before the end of the book, and the guy who did get there ... well ...

2. I think many people who like Dany as a character probably care at least a little about Meereen. But I don't, so I don't. :)

3.

The Green Grace is (95% likely) the Harpy. You're welcome! :D

4. I do care what happened to Daario, insofar as I want a messy ending.

That's what irked me the most. Before reading DwD, I heard about this "meereeneese knot" thing and I kept hoping all the characters would actually converge there. But nope. The only one of her suitors I actually liked died, so yeah... poor Quent :(

2. I think many people who like Dany as a character probably care at least a little about Meereen. But I don't, so I don't. :)

Well I did like her as a character before she got to Meereen. Meereen made me dislike her very strongly.

3.

My reaction to finding that out was "ah." ... Seriously, how is that relevant to the overall plot ?

4. I do care what happened to Daario, insofar as I want a messy ending.

Well me too, sorta, but his interactions with Dany don't make for great writing...

Either it will be revealed and matter in regards to Barristan trying to hold the city, or we'll never find out for sure, in which case, it probably won't matter.

What, you don't like reading about how Daario had her in "every way a man could have a woman"?

[Roose Seal]

Well, to be fair, it's still better than "fat pink mast" *shudders*

Sex scenes always remind me of this *lol*

EXACTLY!

Although I think she probably has no clue of why things are happening the way they are happening, at least from her

exchange with Barristan in Meereen .

But I still think Brienne's riverland excursion is the most boring of the POVs.

[Petit]

Why everybody hates on areoh povs? he has like 2. He isnt pov like jaime or anyone else because he is pov just to show sunspear court, and thats it-get that in your heads!

jon povs in acok were boring because grrm writes about his made up landscape, so are later chapters of arya in asos and briennes in affc, not because characters are boring, oh yes same thing with bran. I couldn`t stand those things in lotr and memory sorrow and thorn, and also in asoiaf. For now only harry potter is the book without the boring bits. Even the bible has them.

[Bajaz]

Damphair in Feast for Crows was most boring to me,Sam was not far behind.

Dany in Dance with Dragons,a lot of talking not enough action.

[iris_uuu]

though i really like the character, Brienne in FfC bored me to death, except for the last 2 or 3 of her chapters.. the same would stand for Bran in ASoS, but in that case i got to like the Reeds, so it hasn't been that awful :D

[Sunni]

I have to stifle a groan every time I come to a Damphair chapter. I'd just skip them altogether if I wasn't so anal, but it would drive me mad and I wouldn't be able to concentrate, knowing I'd skipped an entire chapter, so I just force myself to plow through his POVs. I do have a quirk, though, where I look ahead and count how many pages his chapters are, so that I know exactly how many pages I have to get through before I'm done ("That's two pages down and four to go...now three...").

Pate's chapter in AFFC was a long hard slog for me, too, even though I knew that Important And Significant Stuff always goes down in prologue POVs. But, meh, it still bored me to tears.

I wouldn't say it was my least favorite, but I found the Pate prologue hard to follow. IIRC there were 7 characters introduced that we'd never met before, all talking about additional characters that were also new. At least with Chet they were talking about LC Mormont, Sam and the Night's Watch. You knew that Chet's plans would effect other characters you were invested in.

Areo Hotah's are another difficult set of chapters, for similar reasons. You don't get much personality from him.

Aeron Damphair is just a character I hate. Maybe he and Melisandre will meet and cancel each other out... A world of water and fire... hehehe

[King Bread]

Mh I am just going by what I can say with looking at all POV's during the wole series so far, since some were pretty different in some books (Dany as best example).

It's hard for me to judge some, because they got so few like Arys, although his chapter was good, but then he died, gnarr. Areo's chapters are interesting, but with that I mean everything else in his chapters, not him and that's a problem for me, since I also want to read much about the character and Areo... he likes his axe at least. I still don't see why GRRM couldn't simply summarize all Dorne chapters with Arianne, would have been better for her.

Otherwise I don't like Aeron, the kingsmoot chapter was good, but I don't warm up with his character.

Fatwell Tarly was so far only annoying, although there is hope with the Oldtown stuff.

Oh and Quentyn too. His chapters felt so... optional, don't know how to describe it correctly. Although I have to admit that his last chapter was one of the best in ADWD, just as honorable mention. Especially with his arc ending in ADWD his POV felt so pointless, I have problems if a character just got introduced, got a few screentime and then dies in the same book.

We already have a POV at Sunspear, though - Arianne. Why was it necessary to add another POV, and a mind-numbingly boring one at that? Why couldn't his chapters instead be given to Arianne and used to develop her further?

[Ryan E]

Brienne and the Damphair.

In some of the earlier books, Bran was probably my least favorite, but his chapters in ADWD were so freaking awesome that he has been totally redeemed!

I'm still a little mad at GRRM for robbing us of the Red Vider of Dorne so fast. So much wasted potential in that character.

[Lady of Long Lake]

Sansa in AGOT ( but liked her POV through the other 4 books)

Dany in the last 4 books ( but liked her in AGOT)

[Ryan E]

I have to say I am surprised that some people didn't like Dany's POV in ASOS. I loved it. ACOK and ADWD, not so much, but I thought her chapters in ASOS were great.

[Ser-Arthur-Dayne]

Brienne and the Damphair.

The Damphair is probably the only Greyjoy I kinda dislike. But, I don't really hate him.

[baksh]

Daenerys Targaryen. I am halfway through ASoS and except for the ending of AGoT, I have dreaded her chapters. All the rest I can go through even if with some difficulty, like that of Sansa's but Daenerys Targaryen is just a bit too difficult to read.

My favourite though, unlike many people here believe, are those of Bran's. I have always loved his chapters. I know he has a bigger role to play further down in the story, and so too Arya. But Bran is my favourite. He has been since the start. And if many of you believe that his earlier chapters which I have been loving so far were bad, and that the ones in ADwD are great, I can't wait to get there!! I know I have a long and hard journey to reach there, through AFfC and all that, but still, I am eagerly awaiting all the action.

I also love everything that has happened in the North, especially North of the Wall. Beyond-the-Wall scenes are my favourite ever since I started reading the series.

Bran - except in ADWD, and Sansa in GoT
