I raced through the last third of Games of Throne book 2.
The early part was quite slow-going, Arya's part for instance, and Dany's. Jon's was quite slow too but heck, GRRM could write about him sleeping and I'd be all agog reading that ( hehe, I bet he'd be all angsty even in his sleep ).
Anyways, it was probably a good thing that my laptop was out of it that day because otherwise I'd be spamming my flist with all things GoT, caps and wails and whimpers and exclaimation marks aplenty to be sure - Renly's alive OMGOMGOMG, the children are DEAD??????!!!???, HAIL TYRION when he lead the sortie himself, WINTERFELL IS NO MORE?????
I didn't realize how much I wanted Renly to still be alive until I reached that particular part. He wasn't of course and I was all confused when it turned out that it was Tywin who had won. I didn't care how GRRM brought him back from the dead, I just want him back! And the kids, I knew that they just had to be alive but still, it was harrowing to think that Bran and Rickon were no more. Oh how I HATEDDESPISEDIWANTTOSKINHIMALIVE Theon.
I enjoyed Sansa's story, and Catelyn's, too.
And Jon Snow ... now I'm terrifed of reading Book 3. How would his siblings and the Winterfell people think of him when they heard about him? What would Robb think? I think Arya wouldn't believe that Jon would really have gone over to the other side, but I'm fretting big time as to what Robb would say. I've lost all hope of them seeing each other again but I really, really don't want Robb to think badly of Jon!
Who will die next???? And why oh why the chapters are so short? Just when I was really into one character's pov, before I knew it, it was another's.
ps I'm a little bit confused as to who burned down Winterfell. Roose Bolton? But I thought they were allies of the Starks? I should go back to that part again but it was so painful to read :/
And a rec - Dragonheat by tweedle, a LoTR/GoT crossover, Jon Snow meets an elf and a hobbit. A wonderful read indeed. And now I have a hankering for Lord Jon Snow and his fellow rangers of the north meeting the other rangers of the north, the Middle Earth kind. claudia603? :D
