I agree, the third novel is by far the best, the red wedding was probably the best event of the series so far.  Poor rob, made all the right battle decisions, and all the wrong politcal decisions, much like his father...

here is a question for you, who do you think jon snows parents are?  The novels lead you to believe that he is the bastard child of ned stark, but it hints at a much different lineage.  I have a pretty good idea who they are, just curious if anybody else caught it.

 

The consensus among the fandom is that he's Lyanna and Raegar's son, right? Obviously he has some Stark blood in him, but Ned doesn't seem to be the kind of guy who'd cheat--even on a wife whom he hardly knew. That compounded with that mysterious promise Ned made to his sister makes me think that Jon may not be his son at all. There's tons more evidence, but my memory is foggy.

Then again, perhaps Jon is a child born of incest? That does seem to be a running theme in this series.

Storm of swords my favourite by far. Feast for crows one was meh one for me, seemed a bit boring. Personally I like the way jaime has developed as a character and would be a shame if he dies. Tyrion fine as usual! And shame about Jon, but he did make the wrong call. Also I fucking loathe the bastard of Bolton now, even though theon was an annoying character, that was bit harsh.

Storm was awesome, and I doubt than any future books will be able to surpass it. I do feel that A Feast for Crows gets a bit more hate than it deserves, though. IMO all the books are fantastic.

I used to like Tyrion, I really did, but all his whining in Dance, and his fantasies about raping and murdering is sister really rubbed me the wrong way. Reek Theon was an ass, but the sins of his past have all been flayed away. As such, I have forgiven him, and it's all thanks to Lord Ramsay Bolton, who has somehow managed to be even more loathesome and vile than Joffrey was.


Yeah, lyanna and raegar are his parents, im pretty sure.  Also, lyanna seems to have been in love with raegar and as such it seems that robert baratheon was actually a bit of a villain.  It is true that raegars father was mad and probably needed to be put down, but everything about raegar seems to suggest he was a good and honorable man.  I think the one act that doomed the targaryen rule is when the mad king killed ned starks older brother.  That one act put the majority of the kingdom against him.

Tyrion did lose a lot of his appeal in dance.  The whole circus act seemed incredibly out of character for him, which i guess was the point, but it was very uniteresting to read.  

What do you guys think is going to happen with brand stark?
