| Kantor said: I'm just glad you enjoyed it As for the Starks: Sansa has a pretty significant fanbase for some reason even though she has achieved literally nothing except getting tossed around by various people and occasionally throwing a tantrum. But hey, her POV lets us see Littlefinger, so I'm happy. Arya is great, but I agree with you that her story has become a bit of a sidestory. She might head back to Westeros to complete her list at some point. I don't like Daenerys either. She sends away one of only two people who actually cares about her, and ignores the other in favour of the Harpy and a bunch of other corrupt courtiers. She forces herself upon Meereen when they all clearly despise her and want her to go away. She just generally acts like a spoilt and immature child, and I wouldn't want to see her anywhere near the Iron Throne. I feel like Stannis would do some good with the throne. Aegon could be great or crazy (two sides of the same coin). Euron would be positively awful. |
I can somewhat understand the sympathy and fandom for Sansa, as she is that sort of idyllic character not seen in the rest of the cast. In her heart she still believes in songs and happy endings, despite everything that has happened to her. It's naievete to be sure, but in the series it's actually refreshing compared to the rest of the cast who are all slowly being corrupted and drawn further down into the cesspools of their lives. A secretly wish she can find a happy ending, but with good ol' George at the helm... who knows?
I was a much bigger fan of Arya's at first (who wasn't?), but now... I'm finding less and less to like about her with each ongoing chapter. At this point she's an 11 year old serial killer. *laughs*
Petyr is an interesting (though much unliked) character, only because he's the dark horse of the series. He obviously still has a hand to play in the game of thrones. Though like I said before, I'm getting somewhat tired of that particular game. Still, it will be interesting to see how much he can achieve.
