Well, I didn't think that death would bum me out so much. Guess it just goes to show the respect, or lack of, that the brothers in black truly have in Westeros. How will the Night Watch react? Poor Arya.

-Excited to see how Tyrion will shake up King's Landing, or perhaps how King's Landing will shake Tyrion. -Will that poor Daenarys ever get a break? After a Jesus-esque pilgrimage with her battered people, will she finally find help? -What will Jon and Sam find beyond The Wall? -Catelyn's boring.

Theon Greyjoy, however, feels like loyalty is a cloak that can easily come off based on what benefits him most. His first chapter cast light on that fact that he has felt like a captive more so than a ward of the Starks, and that makes me uneasy. Will his resentment manifest into a betrayal? (Cont...)

Davos' sincere loyalty to Stannis Baratheon is his defining quality after his opening chapter. Commendable enough, but will the influence of the Red Woman change Stannis into someone he cannot support? That is the feeling I am getting. (Cont...)

A fifth of the way in and this book feels grim & heavy already. GRRM has introduced two new character POVs thus far; Davos the Onion King and Theon Greyjoy, who currently seem vastly different. (Cont...)

Here we go!
