Reading A Clash of Kings, thoughts so far...
I got the four Fire & Ice books I ordered yesterday in the mail. ($20 for the set of them, not shabby, especially considering that the wait for them when I was going to request them from the library would have taken FOREVER). I had to contain my glee when one housemate told me I got a package

It's not so much the age gap with Arya/Gendry, so much as that she's 10 (or 11 now?). I was also a little disappointed that she left Westeros and now I can't be sure the next time we'll hear about Gendry (if at all). Hopefully we will now that his group and Catelyn seemed to have teamed up? I also hope that Arya will spend like 5 yrs (time passing quicker than in the other books) in Essos and come back to reunite with Gendry and get the shipping on.
Ugh. Theon. I just want to hate him now. I do pity him. But seriously, killing that miller and his wife and kids? That's pretty low. I also don't like that we never saw Theon's guilt for betraying Robb or him second guessing if he was doing the right thing. He was remorseful when he killed the kids, but never for his betrayal. And we also didn't see much of Robb's reaction to the betrayal. I would have liked to see him more angered and hurt.
I imagine that Sansa will have to 'pay' for all her dreaming by being faced with ugly reality - and perhaps have to go through the most shit. Idk, it's just this feeling that I have. I was also almost disappointed that Joffrey died, because I wanted her to find her strength against him, that he would be the dragon for her to slay (figuratively or literally). But now I'm not really sure what big journey she has in store for her anymore.
