SPOILERY THINGS UNDER THE CUT!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*deep breath*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SERIOUSLY?!
All the things happen in this. ALL THE FUCKING THINGS!
Robb? REALLY? I may have wept a little and called out to the vacant house NO! NOT ROBB!!
I actually grew to love Ygritte and Jon and that he let his guard down in that area for a little while. I DO love where we left him at the end of this too, and even if its only 10.30 ish and i've been sick in bed reading all day I JUST NEED TO PICKUP BOOK FOUR AND CONTINUE!
Tyrion, is there another character in any other book that you can love and hate and laugh with as much as he? He tried so hard with Sansa, to be good to her - and honestly in Sansa's place would you be anymore indifferent to him than she was? After all, she sees the Lannisters as Stark killers for the most part.
I loved Brienne with Jaime. I actually wanted him to get over his whole incest thing with that whore bitch (and OMFG if she doesn't get some sort of retribution for her evils by the end of this series I may hurt someone!) and find something to like more than respect with her. BUT he did help her out in the end and it was lovely that she got a piece of the Starks she has sworn to protect to go on with. Though I'm so RAGEY at Tywin for melting down Ice. Bastard.
BUT YAY HE"S DEAD! The book with the deaths this one, and we finally found out where Ser Baristan (?) the bold ended up after throwing down his sword/armor etc in the first book. I'm glad that he ended up with Dany, she needs someone better than the slimey Jorah - though does anyone else want her to have her way with the pirate guy of the ever changing facial hair and eye colour? LOL
I liked the bond that seemed to form between the hound and his pup, though I did want Arya to kill the Hound in the end. I think the no mercy thing possibly could bite her in the end. I like that the three she travelled with and who were trying to get her back to Riverrun were/are loyal of sorts to her in the end. That epilogue lifted and TWISTED MY HEART in one foul swoop!
BUT my question is: WHERE IS RICKON AND ASHA??
They are alive right? i mean all the Starks really seem incapable of dying lol AND I can't wait to see what happens to Bran and the Green Man/'creepy not dead but kinda dead guy....
ALL shall be revealed tomorrow I guess. WHEN I DIVE INTO BOOK FOUR AND DONT COME OUT TILL ITS DONE!
