Brianna’s Comments (group member since Dec 09, 2015)

Brianna’s comments from the Read A Song Of Ice And Fire 2016 group.

If I remember correctly the Stormborn part is just a reference to her being born during a storm on Dragonstone.

Yeah I'm still super behind.... BUT I plan on catching up with enough time to read Feast for Crows with y'all within the second month (at least).

AGHGHHAHHHH!!!!

Okay. I have A LOT of emotions about this episode....

The parallels between Cersei and what the Mad King did/threatened are so similar! I wonder how Jaime is going to handle that (considering Jaime killed the Mad King....)
Tommen's death was kind of a shock, but not entirely. I didn't think all of her children were going to survive (especially since she was dressed in all black)...
Uhm...... Can we please talk about the vision Bran had about Ned and his sister?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!? Is Jon seriously a Targaryen?! And seriously? King in the North? because that ended so well for Robb.....

Is Lem Lemincloak just in denial about the fact that Beric died? That it wasn't just an injury?

thoughts while reading:

When Tyrion finds out that it's Oberyn there instead of Doran, why does he think "This will mean blood in the gutters."?
I wonder what the story is to Oberyn hurting Willas Tyrell (or if we've already heard it).
I think Tyrion and Oberyn could totally be good friends.
(Nevermind about what happened with Willas!)

"The traitors want my city, but I'll give them naught but ashes. Let Robert be king over charred bones and cooked meat."
What's hippocras?
Why would Bolton care about what Jaime's father thinks when he's going on and on about being Robb's man?

thoughts while reading:

I find it interesting that Stannis doesn't even really want the crown. He's just about whatsbroght and honor until the end (like Ned!).
"I chose blood over honor."

I'm wondering why that is... Like, is there some sort of story from his past we don't know about? Or is this a new development?

I like hardcovers because the spines don't break and like Alex said, they don't curl. I don't like them because of how expensive they are though. I think most of my books are probably hardback, but I love buying used and on sale.

I like paperbacks because they don't weigh as much and they're cheaper, but that's about it. They get damaged too easily.

I love ebooks though. I mainly read ebooks. If it's an ebook I end up really enjoying, that's typically when I add it to my physical shelves.

thoughts while reading:

I can't help but wonder if it's a bad thing he had issues lighting his father's pure.
Robb doesn't really have a lot of control over his army... they keep doing random things he never even told them to do.
I'm not a huge fan of Edmure... he's a bit immature.

thoughts while reading:

Ooh the Hound!
I wonder where this hidey hole is.
"Any knight can make a knight... and every man you see before you had felt a sword upon his shoulder. We are the forgotten fellowship."
The hound makes a valid point about knights.
I wonder how he lit the sword on fire.

thoughts while reading:

"Why can't I just be Samwell Tarly?"
I wish he wasn't so down on himself...

Someone refresh my memory please. Whe..."

I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I know that they are super rare. Only a few of the great houses have them. I think they are made in ways that are lost to current man, but they originated in the land of Valyria (where the dragons came from).

I love how Brienne helped Jaime snap out of his funk.
"Live for vengeance."
I'm still confused about why Bolton is being so nice about Jaime and Brienne. They technically broke the word of/went against his lord.
Why would Bolton be so fond of leeches? - "Yes," said Jaime. "He would be."

"The wall defends itself."
I wonder if the Horn of Winter is a real thing or just a myth.

thoughts while reading:

I wonder who it is that they found if not the Kingslayer.

I am also quite a bit behind lol You're not alone! :)
Welcome back!

And of course a few pretty things make her forget about the real issues...
He's been so kind to her and she won't be nice enough to kneel for him?
He's basically giving her space but then still thinks so lowly of him. :( I don't like her much right now...

thoughts while reading:

Why would she dream of being Rhaegar?
I love this scene in the show!
