Ygrette Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I actually made a list of people who died in ASoS, because I started to lose sight. But the paper got so crowded I can't even properly read it anymore.There were so many twists and surprising revelations in this book that it didn't even matter I had a couple of things spoiled, because there were still so many things I did not know about that it made up for it. My favourite and/or most intense moments were:Samwell killing an Other and a wightThe treason in Crastor's keepJon and Ygritte (the conversations, of course)Learning about the wildlings and their culture (stealing women) and giantsSamwell walking up on Hodor and Bran in the castle and the whole "mines of Moria" allegories including the door and the well and the thumping soundsMormont's death ;-(The raven flying from the kettle (god I had so hoped the raven would return!)Ghost returning to Jon!Stannis showing up to save the day at the wallJamie and Brienne - priceless, especially when he turned back to save her!Jamie's POV and learning to like him in his constant search for redemptionArya and the Hound (quite the contrast to Sansa and the Hound)Arya killing Polliver and the TicklerArya getting Needle back!Beric Dondarrion and Thoros - creep, creep, creepy!Catelyn at the Red Wedding, soooo painful to watch ;-(Lysa and Petyr having sex - EEEEW!Lysa flying out of the moon doorSansa and Tyrion getting married!Tyrion's thoughts during Joffrey's weddingsJoffrey's death - just wished I could have enjoyed it moreLord Tywin gracelessly dying on the loo (not shitting gold, in the end)Red Viper vs Gregor Clegane!Drogon burning the slaverJorah and Selmy being discovered...and I bet I have forgotten several epic moments.

evening gale Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Wow Ygrette, you said it all! Totally my favorite book so far too. I am starting book 4 tomorrow, I hope I like it as well as #3. The Red Wedding was phenomenal, what a shock! Very sad too, and obviously Catelyn was confused, scared, angry, devastated, etc... but true to her character in her final moment she avenges her sons death with Jingles and then frets about her hair.
