I read the next five chapters btw.

Chapter Twenty-One: SANSAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Go kill yourself. Seriously, you have nothing to live for. What a complete ass. And Septa Mordane's a real pain as well. On the other hand this chapter did give me more respect for both Ned and Arya. Jory too. It's nice to know Nymeria got away, even if she'll never meet Arya again. 😞

Favorite Character: Tyrion Lannister

Most Hated Character: Sansa Stark

Death Count: 7

Chapter Twenty-Two: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

Finally! Viserys got what he deserved! That was so satisfying... I hoped he would die, but this is almost better. Good job Daenerys, thank you! Daenerys is finally finding her stride and taking control of her life, which is awesome. Jonah Mormont seems like a pretty cool dude, hope he sticks around. Since Viserys has been shamed is this the last we see of Illyrio? I also have to wonder if Viserys will fade out of the story now, though it seems unlikely. Either way he's been downgraded to a minor annoyance. Dany has a child, which is not exactly surprising, but still, interested to see how it turns out.

Favorite Character: Tyrion Lannister

Most Hated Character: Sansa Stark

Chapter Twenty-Three: Don't cry Robb...

Dammit Robb don't cry! Oh hear I go... This was one of the chapters that Martin sprinkles in the book to raise your spirits slightly before he crushes them with his soul sucking pessimism. I like both Old Nan and Hodor, interested to see more of them. Yoren's growing one me well. Bran's recovery really hurts, but at least we get some more good Tyrion action.

Favorite Character: Tyrion Lannister

Most Hated Character: Sansa Stark

Chapter Twenty-Four: I don't trust Pycelle...

He's just too agreeable an too unremarkable. Mark my words, he's about as trustworthy as Varys. Petyr is still awesome, I'll be sad if he lets me down. Still I, betrayal seems more than likely. The amount of spies in the Red Keep is legitimately disturbing though, and somewhat terrifying. Honestly is Stark was smart he'd start building his own spy network but I suppose that would go against his code of honor.

Favorite Character: Petyr (Littlefinger) Baelish

Most Hated Character: Joffrey Baratheon

Death Count: 7

Chapter Twenty-Five: I can't help but imagine this is what Rangers Apprentice should have been.

Every time I read one of the Jon Snow chapters it reminds me of Ranger's Apprentice, just better. It's hard to explain if you haven't read those books but Ranger's Apprentice always felt cheap to me and not well written. Honestly it was at its best during the battles. The concept of Jon Snow's journey is similar but much better done. He's one of my favorite characters, not just because I like him as a person but because he's truly well written. Everyone in the keep has a personality, and most of them have both redeeming and condemning qualities. Sam is quite an interesting character, and boy the fat shaming is real. Still, interested to see where it goes.
