who's your favorite character in the book?

[Eda**]

Khal Drogo and Jon Snow.

[Cmac]

Tyrion is great character. always unexpected and witty.
Arya for the adventure and excitement.
Jon Snow for being the bravest good guy.

[Michael]

Arya,because of her self confidence and take no prisoners attitude about life and Jon Snow because of his big heart.

[Catherine]

Arya and Tyrion. I loved the Tyrion chapters and became so excited when I would see an Arya chapter coming up. =)

[Jennifer]

tyrion and arya. love them so much i would name my future children after them!! hahaha

[Brittany]

I finished the first book a little while ago and I've got to say, despite the misfortune that befalls him, Drogo's definitely my number one favorite character. He shows a depth of character that a lot of the other characters are unwilling to show, and not only do we see that in the series, but we see that without ever once getting to look through his eyes. The ruthless warrior turned tender lover, and still it seems like he never loses his fierceness...

After him, Tyrion is enjoyable, and I think I'm pretty fond of Dany too, though I'm only about three hundred pages into the second book. Eventually there might be someone to usurp her.

I don't think that'll happen with Tyrion, though.

I've only read the first book so far. Got to say that Jon Snow is my favorite character. I do like Tyrion too--he's so complex.

[Beth]

Tyrion is my favorite overall. I think every character has been my favorite at some point though. Cersei was my favorite in book 4. I mean, I hated her, but I LOVED hating her.

[Dee]

I fell in love with Tyrion and his wit

[[deleted user]]

The obvious one is Tyrion and it's quite palpable why. But I'd like to say Ser Jorah Mormont because like Tyrion, he contains personal struggles and a very sad history. I like this guy and he's trustworthy, and it's very hard to truly trust someone in this world.

[Kirsten]

I've only read the first two books so far, but it sounds like I'm in the majority here - my favourites are Tyrion and Arya. Seeing their names at the beginning of a chapter, I know it's going to be a good one!

[Angelia]

Arya and Daenarys Targaryen.

[Lauren]

(view spoiler)[Arya travels with a group of men who are planning to go to the wall. One of them happen to be Gendry (Robert Baratheon's bastard child). The group are then attack by Gregor Clegane's clan of Lannsiter soldiers and she and Gendry are taken prisoner at a castle called Harrenhal. Over there, she meets an assassin named Jaqen who offers her to choose five people that he would kill. She chooses five people that really aren't worth mentioning. With the help of Jaqen, she escapes Harrenhal with Gendry and another fat boy. The fat boy then leaves the trio and all that is left is Arya and Gendry. They are captured by a small group of knights called the brotherhood without banners. They return her to Harrenhal where they make Gendry a knight. At Harrenhal, Arya sees the hound and watches him fight one member of the brotherhood. After the fight is over, the hound takes Arya to the Frey castle to meet her brother but the hound changes his plans at the last moment.The hound then takes her to a tavern where the hound is injured by a group of thugs (this is also where Arya kills her first man). Under a large tree, Arya leaves the hound to die and leaves the Westeros for the east. At the east, Arya trains to become an assassin. That's about all that's worth mentioning. Yes, she's still alive. (hide spoiler)]

woah...she like a ninja :) thanks again

I have finished reading the second book and I have to admit it is very hard to choose just one character. That is why I have decided to go for a top 3.
First off, I enjoyed Lord Varys, the Spider. Always so fascinating to see just how far his web stretches and how many things he can achieve with just information at his hand. A good lesson to learn for life as well... Keep your friends close, and your enemies watched at all times!
Secondly, Lord Tyrion, the Imp. His cunning is what makes the House Lannister proud... apparently Lord Tywin distributed his gifts eaqually amongst his children, but it is the Imp who gets the most useful trait. So then, his cunning mixed with the love of his family and legacy and the desire to see his blood reign supreme, or as close to that as possible makes him a terribly brilliant character, one that stands out and whips everyone who would dare insult him with clever jokes.
And third, Lord Petyr - Littlefinger. It has always been hard to reach into this characters mind and root out his intentions, but that simply gives him a special attraction, in my opinion. Much like his rival, Varys, the information that keeps him needed also keeps him alive.

Conclusion? Amazing book. A story that gets one thinking about the plots and making one want to find out more is a book that sings to the heart.

[Jessica]

It is so hard to pick just one. Tyrion is by far my favorite. Next would be Arya and Davos has become a favorite the more I get into the series.

[Ami]

I really love Daenerys, her chapters are my favourite (i always fing myself skipping forward to see when her bitsw are coming up. I also really like Jon snow, and the actor who plays him in the series in great ;)Osha is also growing on me.

[Linda K]

Without a doubt Jon and Arya are the best characters that George has ever created.

i do tht 2 :P

[Lauren]

I'd appreciate it if anyone found the time to take a look at my story Fear (its short, the description explains why) http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3...
Thanks :) Comment about what you think please

[Locofrijole]

I have to lean towards Bronn.

[Matt]

Tyrions wit steals the show and Jon so far keeps Eddards legacy the strongest. These two polarizing characters are in my opinion the best and I hope they meet again before the series ends

[Katkenoh]

I have been reading George Martin's Game of Thrones from the very beginning, and my favorite has always been Tyrion Lannister. Followed closely by Jon Snow, and Arya Stark. Tyrion is one of the most interesting well written characters since Tolkien created Gandalf the wizard.

[Johnathan]

Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister.

[Shayan]

Yeo Tyrion :)

[Virat]

Tyrian , then arya ,and then jon snow

Ned feels the most like a real person, weighed down with worries and obligations.

[Risha]

Tyrion definitely. I live for his one liners, sarcasm, and witty comebacks. I also like Little Finger. Never thought I could like a villain. He is the first.

[Mackenzie]

I haven't watched the show yet, and I am only around page 250 of the second book, but:
Ser Jorah is my favorite character.
Eddard was a neat character, too.
(And of course there are characters that have captured my heart such as Arya, Jon, Tyrion, and a few others).
Any love for Ser Rodrik? He's pretty cool in the books as well.

[Lisa]

Favorite character - Tyrion, hands down. Smart and capable and all without swinging a sword, and he slapped Joffrey - loved him for that alone.

I quit reading Caitlyn in book one. People keep trying to convince me she's a strong female character and I just get spoiled witch from her. Lost me early the way she holds Jon responsible for Ned's behavior.

[Claudia Marcela]

Arya and Tyrion

[Niv]

Tyrion!love his wits! I also like Arya.

She has her good moments, every now and then. She is rather irksome right now.

[Johnny]

Tywin Lannister. Clearly.

[Kesha]

Jon, Arya and Tyrion are deflly my fav's ,i love jon snow since i read the first chapter years ago .

[Colin]

Tyrion without a doubt

[Rachel]

Tyrion and Jon Snow!

[Will]

Couldn't appreciate Dany because she was so out of the whole plot, there was no excitement towards her at all."

Are you sure we're reading the same book? O_o

[Kaylene]

Im currently on A Feast For Crows, but my favorite character changes from every book.. But Jon Snow is by far my favorite.. and im starting to like Jamie Lannister and Brienne...

[Linden]

My favourites are; Tyrion Lannister and Arya Stark. Something about them both being victims and overcoming the odds appeals to me...

[Maureen]

I liked bran, he seems important to the story and felt sorry for what happened to him. I liked most of the characters but special favourites apart from bran was danaerys, ned, and jon snow

[Aslı]

Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark. I started liking Jaime Lannister after the 3rd book he is about to be one of my favourites guess.

[Stephen]

Good point about Brienne, and quite true! I've liked Daenerys from the beginning, and also Arya. I'm on book 5 now and becoming quite fond of Jamie. Tyrion's always been a favorite, and now (guiltily) Cersei ...

[Regina]

Jon Snow - mostly because I admire him so much for standing up to his friends, and for risking his life to uphold what he believes is right and just, and Jaimie Lannister - because I like his brand of sarcasm, and the complexity of his character: he was an ambitious and arrogant boy who dreamed of becoming a good, honorable knight, he believes killing Aerys was his finest act, he loved Cersei, madly and blindly that he was willing to do anything - kill children, forfeit his rights to Casterly Rock, etc. He was a gentleman to Brienne, discreetly (masked by his painful japes).

No love for the hound in this thread. That makes me sad.

[Lacey]

I am up to a feast for crows and its terrible but my favourite character so far is cersie. She is ruthless, manipulative, a fierce strong mother. She is the ultimate bitch. I am so hoping someone chops her head off though :-D
