Chapter Forty-Seven: Heh. Jon just got screwed.

Again, really satisfying seeing him humbled a bit. This is exactly what I wish would have happened with Harry. Anyway Jon has been sent to the stewards, which was a bit of a surprise I'll admit. Sam was pretty awesome comforting him though. And then there's Ghost coming back with the hand, maybe from Benjen? That'd be pretty dark I'll admit, but still.

Chapter Forty-Eight: Oh, fuck.

I did not see that coming... He played them all like a fiddle didn't he. I really should have seen it coming, but his sarcasm blinded me to the truth. It seems the tables have turned. Oh and four named characters died in that chapter so that's a new record!

Chapter Forty-Nine: Nope, he's not dead.

Syrio is alive and happy, not dead. He escaped, he's probably going to meet up with them later. I'm calling it. Do you hear me? HE'S NOT DEAD. Okay he's probably dead, I'll add him to the count. *sigh* Well, Hullen and Desmond are dead too which is obviously pretty depressing in its own right but still, at least Arya got away!

Chapter Fifty: SANSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go. Kill. Yourself. Now. Just stop what you're doing and die. Just drop dead. I don't need a gruesome death, just any death will do. Do you honestly mean to tell me all of this is Sansa's fault? Really? And now Jeyne Pool's being murdered too? REALLY?!? I'M TRIGGEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

Chapter Fifty-One: The plot thickens... Again...

The others are coming... The others are coming... The others are coming... THE OTHERS ARE COMING! Anyway Ghost is badass, but I already knew that. I assume Jon will be somewhat redeemed now, after killing the other, but it's hard to tell. In other news the old bear is Jorah Mormont's father, which is an interesting development. How will he side if it comes to war?

Chapter Fifty-Two: Well that was a nice break.

No painful deaths, no betrayals/assassinations, just an nice exposition chapter. Not much to talk about here. I kind of want Bran to become a wizard, but that's just a hope.

Chapter Fifty-Three: Dark...

I feel like the most gruesome deaths will come from the Dothraki. Either way Dany and Drogo should not be messed with. It seems that Drogo is set on taking Westeros which will likely come into play next book or after. Jorah seems devoted enough to Daenerys, but is he just waiting to betray her?

Chapter Fifty-Four: Basically a planning chapter.

Still, entertaining nonetheless. In some ways it seems the Lannisters are at a disadvantage. They're marching through enemy territory and have two armies of northerners waiting to meet them. All Robb has to do is wait and defensible positions for them to tire themselves. On the other hand Riverrun and the surrounding lands are exhausted and full of traitors, while the Lannisters have fresh supplies, a strong army, and lots of experience. Meanwhile Robb can't starve them out because of lack of supplies. I have to say, this is more reminiscent of a successful invasion than a foolhardy charge. Robb will have to be smart if he wants to hold the trident.

Chapter Fifty-Five: Damn the Lannisters are smart...

Tywin's honestly brilliant if you think about, Tyrion just as much. They basically have the mountain clans in the palm of their hand, and can now throw them away against the Starks, while they sit back and watch. Simply brilliant. Anyway, next chapter is Sansa so I guess I'll take a break before diving into that crap again.
