the dorne plotline is just about the most useless thing. i have no idea why it’s here. it goes nowhere. what’s the point of having 3 pov characters when u kill one off in 2 seconds and the other never returns? arya’s chapters are quite boring. jaime’s chapters are good. brienne’s too. cersei’s vary.

i think the biggest reason these fantasy books are so big is because they’re so frivolous with their words. 90% of the sentences look like the first thing the author thought of didnt care to revise. im not at all surprised when i hear that some book or other in the S&F genre was written in 2 weeks, 1 month etc. No shit.

okay but why am i enjoying this better than the last 3
