    Hmm... I'm not sure Sansa hates little Robert. Pity and disgust, yes, but hate... I think real hate requires at least a modicum of respect. Which means... dum dum dum, I don't hate Sansa!

      That's why I described her emotion as "loathing".

        I've just finished the third book, and it was so nice to see things finally start to go right for the "good guys" towards the end. I would have been so pissed if John had taken up Stannis' offer, and it was great when things went completely the opposite way. It was also nice to see the moon door put to good use.

          Some casting news for the second season of the show is starting to leak out:
          Gwendoline Christie = Brienne
          Gemma Whelan = "Yara" (Asha) Greyjoy
          Natalie Dormer = Margaery Tyrell

          Seem all pretty good casting decisions (if the first two spend some time in a gym) except Natalie being a bit old...I'm waiting to see who they cast for Davos, Stannis and Melisandre personally. I hope we get the Blackfish, but maybe that's not to be...

            Natalie is very old and her matched up with Tommen is going to be silly.

              Um, in the book, Tommen is, what, seven? And she's seventeen. How exactly is it going to be sillier than that?

                That's 10 years... not completely unheard of. Here Dormer is 29. Callum Wharry appears to be no older than 10... that's 20 years difference.

                Checking... he's 8 in Clash of Kings and Maergery is 14 in Game of Thrones... so 15 in CoK... so 7 years.

                    Yes. And my wife has now convinced me to drive across two states to go to the first stop on his book tour tomorrow for signed copies.

                      Awesome wife.


                      Amazon emailed me Sunday to say that it had shipped.


                      The early reviews (non-spoilers) have been outstanding.

                          Should I reread. It has been a long time since I read the first 3.

                              Go to The Tower of the Hand, it has chapter synopses for all the current books.
