Twist Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Which characters did you love/like/hate/dislike in the beginning, but by the end of reading the series so far do you feel completely the opposite about?For me I thought Jon snow was boring and didn't like sansa in the beginning, but now I love Jon snow and like sansa because she seems to have grown so much. On the other hand I loved tyrion in the beginning, but now don't really like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalOfDorne Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I didnt like Cersei and Jaime much during my first read, even after their POVs were introduced. Now they are some of my favorite characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanged Black Robin Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Doran. I thought he was so dull until "Vengeance. Fire and Blood." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I hated Jaime at the beginning, but since ASoS, he is one of my favorite characters... I would say for vice versa, that Tyrion and Dany are totally disappointing. I mean, they were so interesting at the beginning, but at the end, I couldn't wait the nightmare of boredom of their chapters to go away... Somehow Arya and Sansa grows more and more to my heart with every reread... Davos was so one-dimensional character in ACoK, but in ADwD, he is the best part.

Lady Isobel Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I too found Sansa annoying in the beginning but I like her now and I want to see what kind of person/player she will evolve to.Daenerys was one of my favorites at first but in ADWD I found her a bit boring, hopefully that will change in the next books.Also I did not like Jaime but after his POV's I saw him in a different light.

Drogon'sWrath Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Sansa irritated the hell out of me in the first book, but she's really grown on me since then.Jaime was among my least favorites for two books. He has become one of my favorite characters since then. On the flip side, I really like Robert in book one, but we learned some things after his death. I really can't like him anymore.I'll admit I was under the allure of Varys until the end of Dance. That's when I realized he's full of shit. I like him as a character; he'll always be interesting to read. But when you get down to it, he's a manipulative bastard. I went from seeing him as a light shade of grey to a much darker shade..

DaarioKnowsBest Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I only started liking Sansa when she got to the Vale, I really like how cool she deals with freako SweetRobin.I thought Davos was a snorefest at first, I don't remember when I started liking him but he's ok now.

The Witch King of Braavos Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Which characters did you love/like/hate/dislike in the beginning, but by the end of reading the series so far do you feel completely the opposite about?For me I thought Jon snow was boring and didn't like sansa in the beginning, but now I love Jon snow and like sansa because she seems to have grown so much. On the other hand I loved tyrion in the beginning, but now don't really like him.I agree with you on this I didnt like Cersei and Jaime much during my first read, even after their POVs were introduced.Now they are some of my favorite characters.Jaime definitely, Cersei I don't like as a person, but I love her PoVs and the entertainment that comes with it.I also started thinking Stannis was a bit of an ass at the start of ACOK. Oh how that has changed :bowdown:I also thought Dany was cool at first, but from ASOS onwards I've disliked her immensely, same with Robert and Catelyn.Asha I hated at first, now I quite like her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalOfDorne Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Jaime definitely, Cersei I don't like as a person, but I love her PoVs and the entertainment that comes with it.I actually dont like both of them as people.

Sordelor Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I liked Dany in the beginning, now not anymore, same with Tyrion, I like Jaime more than in the beginning. I disliked Sansa at the beginning, now not aymore,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okaythen Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 As far as enjoyment goes the Iron Island chapters made me want to scream with irritation, I really enjoyed them on a second read though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogon'sWrath Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just thought of another. Theon. In GoT I had nothing but indifference for him, both as a character and as a person. Starting in Clash, he became a much more dynamic and interesting character, in no small part due to his POV chapters. I went from indifference to loving him as a character and disliking him as a person. The love for this character became more apparent in his brilliantly written Dance chapters. Never before have I felt so bad for someone I don't particularly like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Witch King of Braavos Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I actually dont like both of them as people. Though no one can deny how entertaining they are. The combination of paranoia, idiocy, despicableness and madness, with hints of honour, self-righteousness and weirdness is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Ned With No Head Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Stannis was meh then a re-read made me love the 1 true king.Tyrion was a favourite due to wit then a re-read helped recognise his many flaws.Theon in GOT not a big fan but his POV made me like him a bit then his ADWD chapters were possibly the best written so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faydra Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Sansa and Dany were a bit annoying during AGoT and maybe the first part of ACoK. They're my favourite characters now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Wow, a lot for sansa. She does go from being childishly besotted with Joffrey and naive to the point of letting cersei know her father's plans to having her eyes opened wide to the realities of life and the different natures of people. That beautiful people aren't always good and that scary looking people can do good deeds. It's a brilliant transformation.I also loved cersei's povs, brilliant insight into her paranoia and scheming.

Twist Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 I forgot the hound too, at first didn't really like him, but he grew on me.Arya is just one of those characters I've consistently liked, I'm wondering if grrm will upset that in the wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberry Stark Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I didn't like Sansa at first because I saw her as the shallow, bratty, pretty girl who picked on my favorite tomboy Arya. Then, I saw her as a sympathetic, helpless, and naive princess stuck in the tower type. However, as the series progresses her quiet strength, resilience, and intelligence are more and more apparent. Although she is the damsel in distress, I'm pretty sure she's headed toward not only helping herself (which she has started to do), but towards actually taking charge of her own life. I can't wait to see what happens next in her story. Like many people, I used to hate Jaime for throwing Bran from the window, killing Ned's men, endangering his kids with his continued affair with Cersei, I'm sure I've missed something...As his story progresses, I can't help but love the guy. He's so funny, and I do believe that he's becoming a better person even though he still has miles to go. He's improved as a person; he's no longer ruled by Cersei, he's less rash, more thoughtful, and more introspective. However, I still don't think he's a "good guy." He doesn't seem to regret many of his immoral acts, and even if he did they're unjustifiable. So, even though I think he's still pretty villainous in many ways, he's become one of my favorite characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime4Brienne Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 When I'd only seen the tv show I thought Dany was amazing...but now that I've read the books...I'm not as keen on her as I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
