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

The Devil's Diaries!

"He had been a great man. I shall be greater though."

"Grand maester Pycelle had his eyes closed. If he has fallen asleep, I swear I'll have him whipped"

"I will see you dead, old woman..."

"It was a relief when the singing finally ended"

Best chapter so far!!! I couldn't stop laughing... What a lovely woman!

"Gilly's presence always flustered him and gave rise to...well, risings." LOL

Previously: "you know nothing Jon Snow"

Today: "A highborn maid and very beautiful, with blue eyes and auburn hair"

I love it when Martin repeats a good line. It's as if he becomes obsessed with his own brilliance!!!

She dreamt she sat on the iron throne high above them all.

Hellooooo Cercei!! What a great line to open her first chapter in the books! I simply adore her. I can't wait to read more... Best villain of the series!

Was Shae in Tywin's bed? Were they sleeping together?"

Yes, they were sleeping together.. Clearly he loved Tyrion so much he couldn't keep his hands off Shae.

The prologue confused me a lot. I had to read it twice.

For those of us who are watching the series (view spoiler)[ The alchemist has to be Jaqen, right? Who else? (hide spoiler)]

Walder Frey and Melisandre at the same time.. I'm in trouble..

I can't believe I have to wait another year, perhaps more to watch another episode.. I was in London on a school trip and I came back a few hours ago. the first thing I did was to watch the season finale... So many deaths so many revelations..I don't know where to begin.

To me the best scene was Arya's. I never saw that coming. I thought we wouldn't see any more of her, so when I saw her take off that mask and kill Frey I couldn't stop screaming!!!

Jon Snow or should I say Jon Targaryen??? That sounds so nice! Finally Martin took pity on us! I guess Bran will go to Winterfell now and reveal Jon's identity, right?

Do you guys have any theories about Bran?? I mean he is the 3 eyed raven now but what exactly are his powers apart from being able to have visions of the past and the future? Will he be able to control people as he did with Hodor?

Dany's and Tyrion's scene was also very emotional. He is such a good actor. Oh the look on his face when she named him hand of the queen. And of course the final scene where they show us her armada and Drogon's wings touch the sea... How cool was that?

The king in the North!!! That gave me goosebumps! But seriously I didn't like the look on Petyr's face when Sansa looked at him. And he admitted he wants the Iron throne. But how can he claim the Iron throne?? I mean even if he marries Sansa how can they rule in King's landing? This part confuses me a lot. And speaking of King's Landing, Cercei is the queen????? I thought only men could rule. She's the queen regent not Tommen's rightful heir. Shouldn't it be Jaime at least??? I have to admit though she is a genius. The explosion obliterated the high sparrow and all these boring people of Faith.

All in all:

1. So sad Margaery is dead
2. I don't hate Sansa so much any more.
3. Someone please kill Littlefinger now that he did his job.
4. Jaime please kill Cercei and live up to your reputation of being a proper kingslayer!
5. Shame, Shame, Shame! I liked that..
6. Theon finally marhcing on the right path!
7. Dany, Yara, Lady Olenna, Ellaria= Girl Power
8.Lady Mormont= little ass kicker
9. Melisandre= Jon cut the crap and bring the woman back
10. Sam= I want to go to this library NOW!!!!
11. Pycelle= At least he got lucky before his death! I mean who gets laid at this age?
12. Little birds= So creepy wathcing their eyes while they were killing Pycelle. It felt wrong.
13. Fire and Blood! Lord Varys knows how to play the game!
14. Tommen's suicide! At least his final scene was a bit thrilling unlike the rest of the them. Hey Cercei isn't karma a bitch?? Your last son falling to his death the same way you pushed Bran from the Tower? Poetic Justice!

Amazing episode! It was worth waiting!!

The fight scenes were amazing! Watching Jon buried by dead bodies was extremely stressful. I felt my head throbbing and I couldn't stop calling Martin a number of names. It's a miracle he survived without any broken bones.

Rickon: I can't believe another Stark is down... Such a pity. :(

Sansa: I don't like her.. At all.. I don't care if she won the battle. She's so arrogant.

Dany: That's my girl!! Finally! I particularly enjoyed the scene where Drogon lands next to her and looks at her as if saying: "Mommy?" Epic! I can't wait to see Cercei shitting her fancy panties when Dany lands with Drogon in front of her.

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..."

Exactly!

Oh is it that good Alex?

Everyone except me has read:

1984 (George Orwell)

Well maybe not everyone, but it's quite a popular book.It's on my To-read list but for some reason I keep postponing it. The storyline doesn't intrigue me...

For years I refused to watch the Harry Potter films let alone read the book series. I don't know why... I guess for the same reason I don't want to a get a tattoo. Everybody has one. When I finished the last book, I had to apologize to all my friends and students for saying stuff like: "Why on earth would you waste your time reading utter rubbish?" I was such a fool...Book 7 is definitely on my top 5.

I feel sad for the wildlings. T..."

Sounds possible but the way I see it they became hateful because they were left out. If they chose to be alone it's because they didn't want to obey kings. But at the moment I really think that every signle wildling wishes they were on the southern side of the wall.

Ooooh! Yeah I remember reading this name. I though it was just a nickname.. He hasn't revealed his face yet! I guess we'll wait and see!

I didn't use to like Davos' chapters. I found them too boring. I recall reading and saying: Who cares??? Also I was wondering why the chapters are not told by Stanis and Martin uses Davos instead. He hasn't played an important role so far. I suspect that he will in the future. He seems like a dormant volcano about to explode...

OK now that was funny, I mean not quite Tyrion funny but it really caug..."

Oh I remember this one!!! So funny!

"what's this awful stink?"
"Smoke, sweat and shit. King's Landing in short...You've never smelled a city before?"
"I smelled White harbor, it never stank like this."
"White Harbor is to King's Landing as my brother Tyrion is to Ser Gregor Clegane."

Hilarious remarks by witty Jaime! He is Tyrion's brother after all!

"The only game. The game of thrones."

Littlefinger is a good player! Maybe the best!

He guessed it was Joff. Anyway I think Jaime confirms this to Tyrion later on in one of the final chapters and also explains why.
