Excellent. What did you think of the last chapter? did shock you?

glad you liked it. I think it was my favorite out of the 5!

Sam's chapter? What about it? The candle is lit, which means dragons, but we already knew that so no shock. Am I missing something?

The fact that Pate (the POV from the prologue) died in the prologue but is alive in Sam's chapter :) you know what that means right :D? Jaqen H'ghar! I mean, is a confirmation, because in the prologue the description of "The Alchemist" fits perfectly with the one that Arya gives of Jaqen when he changes his face. Maybe is just me who gets excited xD I love Jaqen H'ghar. I'm really curious about what he's doing in The Citadel... Questions, questions and more questions.

Oh, I love him too. I'd forgotten that Pate was dead. Though I'll be honest; I didn't understand much of the prologue or of the last chapter. If the character Pate died, how is it Jaqen returned? The boy was talking of wedding the girl he loved which doesn't sound very much like Jaqen.

Or are you saying that Pate died and Jaqen assumed his face?

That's right! In "A Clash of Kings" when Jaqen changes his face Aryan describes him as having a hooked nose and thick, black, curly hair, with a slight scar on his right cheek.

In the Prologue of "A Feast for Crows" before giving him the key, Pate asks "The Alchemist" to show his face. When The Alchemist shows his face. Pate says that he doesn't know him and describes him exactly the same way as Arya described Jaqen at the end of "A Clash of Kings"

Pate dies at the end of the prologue, when The Alchemist gives him a coin. But then at the end he appears alive! Well that's not Pate is Jaqen, who is alive and has infiltrated the citadel. What is he doing there? I don't know. But I'm sure it will be important. And of course Sam is there as a POV to tell us.

There's also another hidden character in the book. I'll tell you if you want to know :)

A Feast for Crows is my second favorite book of the series >___< I don't know how some people say it is a horrible book.

ohh Nelson I hadnt thought about that at all but it makes sens. Its exciting!

Oh it certainly wasn't a horrible book! The third is my favourite just because of important character deaths and such, but I think I enjoyed reading the fourth the most.

And I agree with you now about Jaqen, I completely missed that! Well observed, and well supported. Please share the other character! I was really excited when Gendry showed up.

And would you mind explaining the importance of Tom O' Seven Strings reappearance if you know it? Ramsay Frey was really disturbed that it was that particular singer Jaime sent to sing for him, but I don't know what the connection between him and Frey were, or I don't remember.

I believe Tom O'Sevens reappearance at Riverrun has to do with Lady Stoneheart's (Catelyn) vengeance against the Freys. Jaime orders Tom to sings "The Rains of Castamere" which is a song with a lot of violent history. Maybe that freaked out Emmon Frey (The Freys played it at the Red Weeding)If Tom indeed gets a place at Riverrun's court "Brotherhood Without Banners" will have someone inside which very dangeruous for the Freys. Remember that Lady Stoneheart is hanging Freys all around the Reach and the Riverlands (Like in the epilogue of A Storm of Swords)

The other character is easier to spot than Jaqen.

When Brienne goes to "Quiet Isle" in search for Sansa she talks to the elder brother of the monastery. The Elder Brother tells her that the Stark that was with the hound was Arya not Sansa and also that the hound is dead.

He tells her that, he buried the hound himself and he knows where the grace is. Later he also tells her a lot about The Hound; How he was an angry man, how he was never loved, how he dreamed of slaying his brother.

How this guy knows so much personal matters of someone who he claims was at verge of dying when he found him?

Well, later. The Elder Brother tells Brienne how he was a soldier, how he fought for Rhaegar and how he DIED at the Battle of the Trident. OK, now we see that this guys as very different concept of death. He tells Brienne that when he woke up at "Quiet Isle" he was reborn as a new man, in the faith of the sevens and bla bla bla.

The point is that. When Elder Brother says "The man you hunt is dead." he refers to The Hound. The Hound is dead. But Sandor Clegane still lives and is there in the monastery.

First, Stranger the Hound's horse is there at the stables. Stranger is famous because nobody except the Hound can control it. How Stranger got there? If not by the hand of Sandor himself.

Second. after all the talking Brienne is sad because she lost the trail to Sansa and Arya. and she says

"It is true, then � Sandor Clegane is dead." Elder Brother doesn't reply "Yes, he's dead". He's response is more ambiguous. He says "He is at rest."

And third. When Brienne and Elder Brother are walking around the monastery, something catches Brienne attention.

A gravedigger. Brienne says that the gravedigger is huge! (Brienne is huge! for her to consider another person HUGE means a lot)The gravedigger as all the others at the monastery wears a scarf around his head (so Brienne cannot see his burns) he also as what it seems to be hurt leg (Like the wound Sandor received at the INN) and also when Brienne asks "Who is he?" Elder Brother tells her "He's the newest member of our congregation" and more! the gravedigger stops what he's doing to pet a dog <3 hahaha.

So well, The Hound is alive. I mean Sandor Clegane is alive. The Hound is dead.

For such an amazing and interesting character to died off screen is bogus.

Sorry if this was too long D:

You have to read A Dance With Dragons! :)

ohmygod.com did you came up with that al by yourself? Thats genius

Maybe I spent to much time reading into the books? D: I don't know. I do that with every book. Specially when I learnt that GRRM doesn't write little details just to fill the page (House of the Undying)

But I'm not the only one who has come to realize this. Many of my friends also got the clues :)

In these books (AFFC and ADWD) GRRM is just laying out all the plots that surely (I hope) will get resolve in the last two books. I have a theory about Sandor's fate but it would be spoilers in here.

I can't wait for The Winds of Winter T_____T

P.D.: Now that I read it again... OMG! There's so many grammatical errors in that text D: sorry for my English. It's not my first language. It still needs polish.

Its not mine either so don't worry about that lol But I wished I had a better memory, I read the 5 books last summer and I already forgot most of the plot line. I'll definitely re-read them before the 6th get published

Fooled me, I didn't even notice the grammatical errors. And of course it wasn't too long, I asked and wanted to know :)

The Hound! It was odd that he died off screen, I hope that you're right!

Frey says "No, not him," when Jaime brings him into the tent, which is what I was referring to.

Right! now I remember!!! But it's not Emmon Frey but Edmure Tully the one who says "No, not him,".

The event goes back to ASOS in one of Arya's chapters when she's with Brotherhood they talk about how Edmure was supposed to bed a girl but he drank too much and well... he wasn't able to perform as a man (Poor Edmure) The thing is that a singer made a song about it. Shaming Edmure's name.

When Edmure recognizes Tom and says "No, not him," seems to confirm that Tom was the singer who wrote the song D: I think that's the chapter when they caught the Hound actually. More or less.

I hope I'm right also. Sandor needs to show up again :) he was a badass.

Oh, it must have been when they had Edmure in Ramsay's tent then.

I meant to ask you both, what is your first language? I am bilingual as well, French being my second language, which I did all of my elementary school years and half of high school in.

My first language is Spanish then English and a little bit of Italian :)

P.D.: I just watched tonight's episode of the show and the scene when Dany gets her army in Astapor was perfect! :O So Epic. >____<

I am a francophone

I was born in Quebec so I had the potential to be francophone but we moved when I was really little.

That episode was amazing. That one spear that just comes out of the ranks and hits the ground. So intense. And Emilia Clarke was so fluent with the Valyrian. I notice that they are doing the Cersei/Margaery rivalry early though. It shouldn't happen until she is with Tommen but Cersei is quite noticeably against her already. I wonder if they will have her wed Tommen at all.

Yeah, I've read in interviews that they planned to insert some moments early on, since they're separating book 3 in 2 seasons, and even show moments from a feast for crows in the 4th season (supposed to be the second half of Storm of Swords). The plot line with littlefinger and Sansa wasnt suppose to come as early either!

Yes I guess they want for Cersei to loose her sanity from the get go xD. Poor Jaime :( noooooooo

What I'm wondering is how they will do season 5. They can't just do book 4 in season five because half of the favourites are missing. They will probably have to do books 4 and 5 together in two seasons.

Yes, they will merge both books in one continuity. AFFC occurs at least at the same time that the first half of ADWD. Having whole seasons without characters doesn't work well for television (at least you're The Wire :P)

Montreal!

I'm from Venezuela D: but my sister lives in Toronto! So I guess, Canada unites us :P

Yay Canada! :)

So are there new characters in the next book? I'm wondering how he would have written all that surrounding only Jon, Tyrion and Dany. Davos? They say he was killed in the last book, but I do wonder if it was actually him. And I suppose Arya might be in it.

you mean new characters in a Dance in Dragons?

Yes.

There are new POVS with weird names like ''the sacrifice'', ''the dragontamer'', ''the iron suiter'', ''a ghost in winterfell'', ''the watcher'' etc, he kinda stopped calling them by name and it gets really mysterious. There's a lot of Dany and Jon in this book though

Good, I was disappointed with how little Dany was in A Storm of Swords, and I do like Jon now. It's kind of weird that he changes all of their chapter titles now, when I started AFFC I read all of the names and expected Cat of the Canals to be Catelyn, but she doesn't have a POV and is actually called Lady Stoneheart so I don't really know what to expect :P

Anyway, just finishing up a few other books then I will start ADWD.

Me too! I thought it was Catelyn when I first read it but you'll realise who it is soon enough lol

It was Arya, totally wasn't expecting it :)

Oh right, you already know, I misread ahah

Yes, no new characters but some new POVs :) The first half is mostly those who do not appear in AFFC. Then, when the timelines unite, the chapters are like those of the first 3 books. Are you gonna read it soon :)?

I think so. I put it on my table, now I just keep looking at it and opening the pages, and picking it up, moving it to another table, taking off the dust jacket and putting it back on, looking at it some more :P It's just so heavy and pretty that I don't want to bring it with me anywhere and I don't want to open it too wide and crack the spine which happened to the 3 of the other 4, though they were small paperbacks. And that's honestly the only reason I haven't started already.

Hahaha I know that feeling. I hate when the spine cracks >___< looks so horrible. With books this thick is really difficult.

I own the 5 of them in small paperbacks, and their spines are totally ruined! But at 10$ each, its doesnt bother me as much. AND, I'm definitely thinking about buying the big ol' hardcovers, they're just so gorgeous! (but very expensive :/)

Where I live, ADWD isn't even out on Paperback. It's been in hardcover for almost two years now. But my first four I got for 22$ As a boxset at Costco :) But the fifth is definitely the prettiest, even the inside is nicer.

Indeed, its not out in Canada yet, I bought it on the bookdepository! They offer free shipping worldwide and it was like 10 or 11$, i didnt want to wait for it lol

I actually bought it in hardcover before I'd finished the second one, just because it looked so pretty and I knew how frustrating the smaller versions were to read. Sometimes I'll still go stand in front of the display in the bookstore and moon over them all, wishing I didn't own them so I could buy them all over again.

You can't fin those beautiful hardcovers here in my country :( it sucks T___T

Aw. We actually don't have the first four in hardcover either though.
