I've just finished Storm of Swords and think it is the best of the Game of Thrones novels (though I have yet to read the subsequent books). How would you rank the character storylines in terms of your personal interest and favorite?
For me, it goes like this, from least favorite (10) to most (1), and let's discount the pro and epilogues.
10) Catelyn
9) Bran
8) Samwell
7) Daenerys
6) Davos
5) Sansa
4) Arya
3) Jon
2) Tyrion
1) Jaime
For me, looking at this, the biggest and most pleasant surprise is how much better I enjoyed Jon's story once we got a terrific love interest going - he was near the bottom of the list in the last novel. Martin does a great job of putting intriguing duos together in this one, don't you think?

9) Brienne
10) Davos
Daenerys
Sansa
Cersei

Everything else is so so.

From Storm of Swords:
1)Jaime/Tyrion/Sansa (I can't make up my mind)
2)Arya
3)Jon/Bran/Samwell
4)Daenerys
5)Davos
6)Catelyn
I like Jaime, Tyrion and even Sansa's characters a lot, but mostly I think I find theirs stories more interesting for it's happening where they are at the moment. Arya's story is always interesting to me, but as lately in this book, also frustrating. Jon, Bran and Sam I enjoy, Davos too, I love Davos, even though I can't say the same for Stannis and Melissandre. Finally, I don't know why, but I've never liked Catelyn. I think I understand her, and why she is like she is and does what she does, but she is still not a likeable character to me, and then she and Rob seem to always manage to make the wrong decisions somehow. Makes me want to slap them.

1) Tyrion- From books 1-3 he has been the most interesting character. And his plot always seems to go somewhere. I like dialogue, and Tyrion is good for it.
2.) Jaime- I thought it was super interesting to get his POV. Sure he just wandered around for 2/3rds of the book, but I loved his character development. And I love him and Brienne.
3) Jon- He is probably my 1st of second favorite character. His story has been super boring since book 2, and not much character development. But I like Jon, and I liked how he actually got to know the Wildlings.
4.) Sansa
5) Arya
6) Samwell
7) Daenerys
8) Catelyn
9) Catelyn
10) Ned
11) Bran

If I had to base it just on the Storm of Swords, then probably:
10) Sansa
9) Bran
8) Catelyn
7) Samwell
6) Daenerys
5) Davos
4) Jon
3) Tyrion
2) Arya
1) Jaime
From the least interesting to the best ones, of course. What is interesting is that this list would vary a great deal depending on which book I was assessing, because Arya's POVs, for instance, were boring as hell up to ASOS, then suddenly got awesome, on the other hand, Tyrion got less interesting in ASOS for me.

(1 to 10 favorite to least favorite)
1. Sansa (I LOVE this girl she is my favorite character for the whole thing.)
2. Cat (Only because of Robb.)
3. Jon
4. Bran
5. Sam
6. Dany
7. Tyrion
8. Arya
9. Davos
10. Jaime (I absolutely HATED Jaime's chapters because I hate him as a person.)
I liked A Clash of Kings better. I liked Theon's chapters and there was no Jaime... Now I'm in A Feast for Crows and I have to suffer through Cersei's chapters! Oh gods please help me someone END her already!
*And this list is only for this book. I've yet to finish the other two [four] and decide again based on everyone's that I've read).*
