Ser Lady Stark Martell Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It used to be Davos for me until aDwD. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy all his povs on a reread. Now it's only the Ironborn (except Asha and Theon's povs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMary Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Sansa'sBut only because her POVs could be covered by Ned's, Tyrion's and Littlefinger's.What's the point of of a POV that's only repeating things from a less interesting perspective?Sansa's got a completely different first person perspective from the various men you just named. Being female, young, powerless, in an abusive relationship (with Joffrey), married off against her will, becoming a fugitive for a crime she didn't commit, being in the role of foster mother figure to her cousin, etc., etc. Personally, I think her arc is great but that may not be exciting to readers who like "manly" stuff, war and blood and gore. I concur with those who don't understand the point of Quentyn's POV. There must be some pay off for it in later books because I don't understand how it had any relevance to the big picture, except that his blunder freed the two dragons that caused more carnage.

Jm4n68 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 SamwellJonBran Jon and Bran are just inconsistent for me, some chapters are good but some make me check whos next just so I can have the motivation to keep reading. I'll take a Sansa chapter over these three anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Olenna's Protege Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Bran. After his first ASOS chapter I just couldn't anymore, and told my friend who'd read the books explain his arc to me. I have yet to actually read about Coldhands and Bloodraven.

The Prince of Newcastle Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I was looking forward to reading AFFC because I wanted Cersei's point of view. Turns out she's just a delusional idiot. Still enjoyed her chapters though. I literally cannot see they point of Areo Hotah. He is a camera with a name. I couldn't care less about him. Even Arys Oakheart is more interesting than Hotah. Brienne I struggle to truly care about and her chapters were boring wondering around in the wrong direction. But yeah. Areo. Even damphair is more interesting. I actually like the Ironborn POVs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prince of Newcastle Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Literally cannot comprehend people skipping entire POVs. Skipping all of Bran because.... What ever. Madness. He has some fantastic chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwerto son of Blåtand Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I really hated every single chapter of Bran south of the wall. He was allways so depressed wich made me depressed aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilúvatar Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bran. He seems to be on the path to doing something important, but I just don't care. I have zero interest in skinchanging and greensight. I think the books would be better without all that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myhousigilisthehousecat Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The amount that I care about a POV tends to go along with how close they are to the events happening in King's Landing or Winterfell. In this series it's delusional to anticipate a personally happy ending for all of the POV's. What I can reasonably want for the ending is a Stark in Winterfell and/or a competent person on the iron throne, so it's hard to care about anything that doesn't closely associate with either of those endings. When I read Dany or Jon's chapters, it's like "okay that's great, what does this have to do with the real story?". It's why Dany got so boring when she gave up on going to Westeros, why Brienne was less interesting after parting from Jaime, why Jon has always bored me. GRRM definitely tries to compensate to make Wall/Essos stuff more interesting with over-the-top characters and magic, but it doesn't cut it for me.

Sweetgirl205 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I completely agree. There isn't enough time to emotionally invest in the character before he dies, so when rereading, you find yourself asking, "What is the point?"Exactly. He comes in and gets burned alive. Couldn't someone else tell the same tale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Jon Snow - Just a mind numbingly boring character. There isinteresting stuff going on around him I guess which make his chapters bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
