SPOILERS AHEAD --- READ AT YOUR OWN RISK













I didn't find the characters difficult to get straight at all. I was crushed when Eddard died, he was the man. I got the impression he was gonna go, but it twisted so many times I thought he would make it through. I wasn't expecting Robb to die, he was the hope for the North. I don't dislike Bran, but he really has no shot against his able bodied enemies. Hell, he doesn't even know what's going on at this point. Jon has been my favorite character since the beginning, but he isn't really a "Stark" and at the moment his destiny seems to be to live out his life on the Wall.

Arya has been twisting and turning so many times I don't know what will happen with her but I despise her sister. She is so weak and stupid. She got her father killed because of her naivity and selfishness and doesn't deserve to live. Catelyn is strong, but I never liked the way she treated Jon. She's made some pretty stupid mistakes of her own and most of the bad things that happend can be tied to her actions. If book 6th is the time for wolves I will be interested to see how things turn out. Quite Frankly though, there aren't many Starks left who I care enough about to root for them.

At the end of book 3(and for sometime before) I found myself rooting for Dany. I am looking forward to the maturation of her Dragon's and to see what part she will play upon entering the main fray. She's a hottie, I've liked her character from the beginning and as time goes on, I like her even more. She's my kind of pre-conquerer! One thing I will say is that after reading 3 books, only to find out that we aren't even halfway through the story kind of bugs me. I really don't want to wait 15 years for a resolution to this saga. As much as I do like the story, I found myself losing interest after so many twists and cliffhangers in the plot. I will never write something that takes so long to write, or if I do, I will keep it to myself until its done.

Jon is the man... I also like Tyrion, especially now that he's defected from the Lannisters. Methinks Tyrion is going to help the Starks now...

Talk about a good series, though. I was fourteen when I first picked up A Game of Thrones, and from the very beginning it drew me in.

Yeah, I've liked Tyrion throughout. He's a good guy in a bad family. I think he's a tad bit unpredictable but we shall see what he does next.

I've only read " A Game of Thrones" and i liked it but i've had a tough time getting through the second one but it was very nicely written.

The second one is the worst of the three in my opinion...

I loved the second one, Tyrion was kickin' ass.
