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

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

So... The guy from the Iron Bank of Braavos (who made the deal with Jon - right?) showed up to talk to Stannis? right? And they found Theon on the way?

I honestly don't remember who these people are.... kind of a flashback? I think?

So he has Greyscale? and is the dwarf he mentioned Tyrion?

I really hope Quentyn doesn't do anything too stupid...

"Daenerys is the means to the prize, not the prize itself." ← That could lead to some trouble.

So Quentyn wants to steal a dragon and this sellsword - the Tattered Prince wants Pentos. Why Pentos?

I can kind of appreciate the fact that Dany's husband is struggling a little bit without her. lol

It'll be interesting to see what happens here in Mereen.

"Jon was armored in black ice, but his blade burned red in his fist."

Hmm... I wonder where the real Horn of Joramun is then...

"A man can fight the dead, but when their masters come, when the white mists rise up... how do you fight a mist, crow? Shadows with teeth... air so cold it hurts to breathe, like a knife inside your chest... you do not know, you cannot know... can your sword cut cold?"

"Night falls... and now my war begins."

Things are getting nerve-wrecking up at the Wall!

I hope they don't get sick!

"You on your dog and me on my sow, chasing a dragon across the Dothraki sea."

It's been interesting to see how everyone is becoming tied together on this side of the world (I know we saw it in Westeros, but not so much Essos).

It's been awhile since we've really heard of the Iron Fleet and Victarion so I'm a bit fuzzy on things. He's on his way to Dany on the Crow's Eye's orders? right?

How did he hurt his hand? And what did the Red Priest do?

I am curious to know what his roll in the upcoming events will be!

"His Vanity would fit better."

Poor Missandei & Ser Barristan. :(

I'm not sure I understand all these references to 'the poisoner'. Who poisoned who? I don't recall...

We haven't seen Cersei in a minute! I hope I can remember what happened to her last...

She is such a good little faker!

Hmmm... I wonder what Jaime and Brienne are up to.

I wonder who she wants Qyburn to name (?) as a possible knight of the Kingsguard.

'I am the guard who opened the gates and let the foe march through."

One thing I have to say about how George R.R. Martin writes is that he does like to show you behind the 'bad guy' - with Tormund losing 2 of his sons.

I seriously am not a fan of Selyse.

"... but a queen belongs to her people, not to herself."

Tyrion! and Penny!

Drogon got BIG! Yay! Dragons!

"Old Nan had told them of storms that raged for forty days and forty nights, for a year, for ten years... storms that buried castles and cities and whole kingdoms under a hundred feet of snow."

"I have done terrible things... betrayed my own, turned my cloak, ordered the death of men who trusted me... but I am no kinslayer."

"I think I can climb down some stone tower." ← uhm.... need we remind you of what happened to Bran?

Eek! This was a pretty intense chapter by the end!

"How did this happen, that I am drinking and smiling with men I'd sooner flay?" ← because you're trying to play the politics game and sort of failing... lol

So who's getting married?
Alys and Magnar of Thenn? When/how did that happen?

Haven't heard from Jaime in a bit!

That weirwood tree sounds pretty interesting - with it not having any red leaves and the ravens roosting there at night.

Brienne survived!

I'm fairly amused that Jorah just gave up when he hear that Dany married. He's supposed to be the big macho kind of guy. lol

I love seeing more of winter showing up. It does seem to be a crazy winter though! I couldn't handle it. lol

These deaths so seem suspicious.

I seriously feel so bad for Theon as Reek. He made some poor choices, but not to where he deserved what he's gotten.

The name sounds familiar, but I'm not 100% sure.

I think Davos definitely does the best he can. I think he's one of my favorites. He tries to do the right thing, but has a realistic mind about it.

How are there captives from Hardhome? Did one of the ships Jon send that way rebel?

Why is this cat watching/following her?

This girl came out of nowhere and I'm a bit confused what kind of help she wants from Jon. Not surprised there's an ambush plan though. lol
