Britannia’s comments from the Song of Ice and Fire series Read ALong! group.

I'm in A Clash of Kings and I still don't like Sansa...
What made me upset was what she did when Ned sat her and Arya down for a talk, and she tattled (don't wanna say too much, because I know we have some new readers here :))
I can understand why The Hound says such things to her; The Hound isn't disrespecting Sansa or foul mouthing her, but rather trying to get her to realize this fantasy world she wants isn't going to happen. I can't even believe she's still chasing after Joffrey after what's happened...

Arya is by far my favourite character (as well as Daenerys, Tyrion, Jon, and Ned), and she sometimes reminds me a little of myself but I absolutely adore the relationship she has with her father and Jon. Sansa reminds me of my 19 yr old sister (even though I am the oldest in the family).

Hey, Paul! You're right, and it's naturally human but I just wish that some people wouldn't treat a child a certain way when the child had nothing to do with it. But if she had found out differently, I'd hope the same thing.

Hello, Fellow Westerosians! I'm Britannia and I'm a bookworm/bibliophile! I love reading,like,supremely. I read more than one book at a time...I know I can't be the only one. Lol
Anywho,I'm quite close to finishing A Clash of Kings and I have watched the show after finishing the books or certain chapters. I love who they chose as the actors, but I'm so happy with how GRRM put all of this together! This is basically my first experience with fantasy, and I was a little apprehensive about it but I love the different perspectives and all.
Aside from reading, I go to school and I draw (if you want to check out my art or my silliness,then visit my
Instagram: gamagoorira and gamagoorirart). I do have a tumblr: westerosianwhovian.tumblr.com.

I've had the same thought about his mother, and that Eddard took him on as a son...but then wouldn't this mean that (if the theory Paul stated is true at some point) Cat has definitely been mistreating Jon? I know she won't be around long enough to find out (even if GRRM ever decides to let us know lol), but that would be a sucky realization that all this time you're mistreating a child just to find out that it wasn't from an affair on your husband's account. I do how at some point we get to to know who Jon's mum is.

I really don't like Sansa. You just had a bad feeling when her and Joffrey runs into Arya and her friend Mycah. I just wish someone would put Joffrey in his place. We get to see ano..."

Hey, Paul :) It wasn't Lady that attacked Joff, but Nymeria (Arya's wolf). I was pissed when Sansa was asked to tell what happened and she lies! Omg I wanted to choke her! She saw everything that happened and she experience Joff's horrible attitude when trying to help him at the end of her chapter. He was being a huge cry baby and then turned into an obnoxious royal ass. Poor Mycah :(

We learn that not all that is gold glitters. Robert is king but it is a life without joy. Robert would rather run off with Ned and have adventures like they did years ago. We also..."

I think the fact that he must deal with all of this responsibility and marrying someone for political reasons is what makes Robert the way he is. He finds joy in other women because he doesn't really like Cersei in that way, he probably didn't think ruling would be this tedious and he's trying to find joy.
I absolutely adore Jorah! It was just heart breaking to find out that he was working for Robert to get out of exile. Khal Drogo seemed rough, but when he goes to consummate the marriage with Dany he's sweet (something they absolutely changed in the tv episode that I didn't like).

I have to say that I am really liking the first time we see Tyrion. His conversation with Jon was great. I also understand..."

I think I know what you mean by understanding the hate Cat has towards Jon, but that doesn't give her reason to mistreat him so. As an individual he has done nothing wrong to her, and she should be directing this anger elsewhere. I like when Tyrion comes in, and the advice he gives Jon is great! Dany's character is young, but I think she's just longing to be somewhere she won't have to leave so quickly or depend upon anyone who isn't really caring for her from the heart. At first I thought there was some sort of incest between her and Viserys, but I immediately found out that this was just his way of treating her like a possession to do with as he pleased to get where he wanted in life which has consequences.

Paul wrote: "Arya I

YES. one of my favorite characters from the TV Show. We learn that she is very young and looks like her father. The only other Stark kid who looks like Ned is Jon and he isn't even a Stark...."

I couldn't believe that a 12 year old would act like this, but oh my gosh it boiled my blood when meeting Joffrey for the first few times. I was happy afterwards when Tyrion slapped him though. I don't see how anyone puts up with his obnoxious, jerky, pig-headed attitude.

Catelyn is really awful to him, and it's horrible because she's so nice to Ned, yet she takes all her anger ou..."

When it came to this, I didn't like Cat's character. I understand that Ned brought home another child that was obviously from an affair, but to hate the child for it when it's done nothing is ridiculous and I don't like to see people doing it in this day and age either. It's not as if Jon's telling her "You're not my mother", nor does he ever disrespect her in any manner.
