I am loving this series! All the action that is happening at the same time to the different characters in different areas is so addictive! I love seeing how the characters interlink - and I fear for what will happen to them all next!Īrya is about to head off across the water after escaping numerous brigands, Sansa has found new troubles in a new place, Bran keeps on travelling, Davos still fights on for Stannis despite his Red Priestess, Brienne has fulfilled part of her vow and is off to fulfill the rest. “It was not for murder that the gods punished him.but for slewing a guest under his roof that the gods cannot forgive.” The war for the iron throne is ongoing but it seems being away from the battle can be just as deadly as fighting in it! I really can’t say a lot without spoilers. This one is definitely a game changer! I’ve never known so many major and minor characters to be killed off in a book - must be some kind of record!

In short there is very little you can do in order to make it into the sequel. There are a lot of kings around at the moment too but believe me, there is no safety in numbers.ĥ.ĝon’t become a born again religious convert.ġ0.ĝon’t be in possession of anything that either the Starks, Lannisters, Tullys, Freys, Boltons, Baratheons, Targaryens, Florents, Redwynes, Umbers, Flynts, Fossoways, Kettlebacks, Ostermonts, Karstarks, Mollens, Talharts, Glovers, Seaworths, Greyjoys, Slynts, Celtigars, Cerwyns or Marbrands want. So, how do you learn to duck, quick enough and low enough to avoid the George RR Martin cull?ġ.ĝon’t offer to be a king, appoint yourself as king or have any claim to any throne or kingdom anywhere. No one seems to be looking for XXXXX and XXXXX is out of sight and out of mind and growing in strength. The XXXXX has turned up and so has XXXXX. XXXXX and surprisingly XXXXX are still alive. None of them will be making it into the sequel unless they’re getting a free pass to Wight world. XXXXX went to the grave and then came back.Īnd XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX all died in various battles but they were mostly just lesser characters with walk on/carried off parts anyway. XXXXX is mortally wounded and so is XXXXX although probably it would only be a matter of time before the killed each other anyway. Ooh and so was XXXXX but they had it coming really and the only tears you’d want to shed in their direction are Tears of Lys. Once again, this review will be scant on detail as it is impossible to discuss one iota of this epic without giving the game away and creating civil unrest amongst a legion of George RR Martin fans in the making. Martin has the biggest axe and no one can stop if from falling. Watch out Westeros, Wildlings beyond the wall and everyone in the Land Beyond the Sea.
Despite the numerous sellswords, hedge knights, rogues, assassins, Sers and Lords running about the place in full armour and with more oversized silverware and valerian steel than the kitchen department at John Lewis, no one is more fearsome in the culling stakes than George RR Martin himself.
Well someone should be writing a similar set of rules for the characters in the Song of Fire and Ice Series because, oh boy are these guys in trouble. Do not drink and never say “i’ll be right back”)

(FYI those rules were: Never have sex.
