Its nice to see a tale where Jon remains true to himself and doesn't become lost to the games of power and false adoration. He may be a dragon but at the heart of it he's still a wolf.

I like too how he brings a sense of honour to his role. He refuses to accept that he is to be his aunt's consort, he refuses to accept that he's supposedly above the gods. He's grounded and I think that's a saving grace even if none of his dragon family can appreciate that.

Of course I love the Sansan though I was tearing up at the thought of an Arya so broken she no longer can directly associate herself to her family to the world around her. I was tearing up reading how Nymeria was returned to her, how symbollic it was to her healing. The scars remain but in time you can see she'll be whole again.

I love too how Dany for all of her self-righteous attitude still has so much to learn. She underestimates the north and i really love how Jon examplifies that...

Beautifully done (as always!) and by jove girl you better post this everywhere else!! *pokes* It would be too much a shame to keep a jewel like this hidden from the fandom!! =D

I think Jon would hate the power games and politics of King's Landing. He would be a good ruler and make sure that the people were taken care of, but he's far too much like Ned and the Starks - straight forward and saying what he means. He wouldn't last long in an environment like KL, or he wouldn't be happy if he did.

I so so hope that Arya will someday see Nymeria again. I have a feeling that it would be a huge turning point in the story if she was to encounter either Sansa or Arya, and I only hope it can happen.

Ah, Dany. You see quite a bit of her right royal arrogance come out in the later books, when she's thrown off her brother's shadow and is used to having people obey her once more. It's a pity, because she's intelligent and brave and strong, but she does have a sense of entitlement based upon her heritage.

And posted, it has been! Thank you for the poke :D
