Brienne's father has what i think is Duncan's armor. thats why i think this.

Read the books 4 times so far..and the show is by far the most accurate book to movie/show conversion I have ever seen. Fantastic show and books. However, I would be tempted to axe the show if it got me the books faster...dear lord Martin is a slow writer.

Lol..true enough. Feast of crows was what..6 year wait? And from what I understand he had it pretty much written from day one cause he split 1 book into two to milk it for more money.

And then made us wait...and wait...

I vote someone just kills the bastard and have brian sanderson finish the series off...his wheel of time books were good and the mistwalker series is one of my favorites.

Anyone else groan whenever a Brienne chapter comes up?

book 1 (Game of Thrones) Aug 1996
book 2 (Clash of Kings) Feb 1999
book 3 (Storm of Swords) Nov 2000
book 4 (Feast for Crows) Nov 2005
book 5 (Dance with Dragons) July 2011
Book 6 (Winds of Winter) Who knows
book 7 (Dream of Spring) Who knows

the book "Feast for Crows" took forever for a couple reasons. firstly, he had planned to have 5 years pass between the end of book 3 and start of book 4 (to allow the younger characters some time to catch up). the five year gap plan was scrapped, and the "flashbacks" were rewritten in to new book 4 (and eventually book 5) chapters. Next, the book 4 manuscript was the largest he ever submitted coming in at or over 2000 pages (originally book 4 = Book4, Book5, and the battles at Mereen and Winterfell). thats why books 4 and 5 take place parallel to each other for most of the time. my problem is that theres really only 350 pages in book 5 after the timeline converges with book 4. so does that mean it took him 5 years to write 350 pages? or does it mean he never really finished the book 4 story for 10 years? Also, he has stated many times that if he should die, he will not allow another author to finish his story. that said Benioff and Weiss (hbo show creators) have been told how the story ends. who wins the throne. and what happens to each main character. so even if he dies, theres a chance HBO can finish the story.

aww, i like Brienne chapters a lot. i think she might be Duncan's grand daughter. she might even be related to Hodor (as we only know his grandmother is old nan, we dunno his parents). side note, some people think Hodor is the third dog, a clegane. i personally dont know how i feel about Hodor's heritage. but i really think Brienne is kin to Sir Duncan the Tall.

Sansa gets better in book 4. Alayne Stone is becoming a very smart girl that understands how things work, and thinks with her head. Sansa Stark is a very dumb girl, that is oblivious to the ways of the world, and thinks with her emotions. needless to say, im a bigger fan of Alayne Stone. but Baelish is in my top 3.

Most people are expecting book 6 in 2014, but I am not sure I see it. He mentioned only about 300 pages are done of the book and the book is expected to be 1600 pages or so. I think the earliest is 2015.

Sansa gets better in book 4. Alayne Stone is becoming a very smart girl that understands how things work, and thinks with her head. Sansa Stark is a very dumb girl, that is oblivious to the ways of the world, and thinks with her emotions. needless to say, im a bigger fan of Alayne Stone. but Baelish is in my top 3.

Little Finger is teaching Sansa how to play the Game of Thrones right now. I think she is a key character down the road and while I know Little Finger has plans for her he is not telling her (Possibly marrying her) I think in the end she will be LF downfall.
