Just remind me who Bloodraven is /was? Wasn't he the Hand of the King when Egg was a boy and Dunk's squire? Or am I mixing things up?

lunylucy July 13 2011, 16:07:31 UTC

Yes, and later when Egg is King he banishes Bloodraven to the Wall (we don't know why), where he becomes a Lord Commander. There was a theory that Bloodraven is the 3-eyed Crow before the book came out b/c Night's Watch=crow, plus he has a bird (raven?)-shaped mark on his neck/face. He had a weirwood longbow and IIRC used magic? Or something like that. And also Bran's chapter just said he was missing an eye & the other one is red, which fits with Bloodraven's description (he was an albino who lost an eye).

DANY WTF ARE YOU DOING, you can't be my favorite for long at this rate!

My feelings exactly.

Alas she did not improve by the end :( The only moment I really enjoyed was her riding the dragon. I GUESS I WANT MY CLICHE FANTASY AFTER ALL. But maybe this is what it takes for her to realize that ruling this side of the Narrow Sea will not work out for her. I just wish it hadn't taken a whole giant book or that she'd st LEAST had some means for sailing to Westeros at the end of it.

Yeah. I feel like after all of this nonsense, she'll be right back where she started at the beginning of ACoK... except with bigger dragons she can't control, and a lot more people who want to kill her. :/

Really enjoyed your post, and Victarion is totally the Grey Lobster.

Can't stand him though, I hope Dany burinates him!

I'm glad you enjoyed :D This is the first time I've done a live reaction post for a book.

Ha, the Grey Lobster! I like it. Can't stand him OR Aeron tbh but at least Aeron's mind is more fascinating.

It didn't occur to me that Victarion is basically Greyjoy Stannis, lol forever.

What confused you about the children with the daggers? They're his little birds/spiders/whatever. At least that's what I understood.

lunylucy July 22 2011, 15:49:02 UTC

Yeah no, it makes sense that they're his little birds. I just didn't understand why they needed to descend, knives and all, on a Kevan who was already pretty much taken care of. I guess they were there as backup and Martin just used that final imagery for extra creepiness.
