Just buy Storm of Swords if you find it.
UK and Australia publishers split the massive book of Storm of Sword into 2 books.

Any fans of Ser Barristan The Bold here?

he's using other name

LOL, he sank with Alcatraz prison.
3rd book is full of twists and surprises, therefore, many consider it as the best among the series.
But still I think the 4th and the 5th are actually not bad. Not as bad as many people think.
Hope you enjoy them as well.

still reading book one

still wondering who's the real parent of Jon Snow...
with the death of Ned, i guess it only left Ser Howland Reed, the sole survivor who knows what happened in the Tower of Joy when they tried to rescue Lyanna
I guess it's already hinted that Jon could be the child of Lyanna and Rhaegar, Lyanna could have died from child birth.

if Jon is the son from Lyanna and Rhaegar, that explains why Ned was so secretive about Jon's true identity, and why he send him to the wall to join the black.
because he'll be definitely dead the instant Robert knew Rhaegar has an heir.
with Jon joining the Black, hence forfeiting any claims to the throne, and keeping him safe.

Since that whole scene (stealing of the dragons) DID NOT happen in the books, even us that have read the books are in suspense now lol!  Nice of the TV producers to keep everyone on the same level.

saw halfway of season 1 epi 1... like quite boring only... is the action going to get better?

lol ok.. I just felt so many characters.. didn't pay attention to their lines as well and in the end didn't feel absorbed in the story.... will restart lol... I like sorcery and.mysticism anyway..

so if comparing to book 2, is this halfway already?

Just finished ep 6.

I like the ending. They make changes to Danaerys story to make it more interesting. Seriously, the only interesting part of Danaerys story in Book 2 is just the House of Undying and maybe the appearance of White Beard.

Woohoo, the casting of Ramsay Snow is a must now that Lord Bolton mentioned his bustard. Can't wait.

The chemistry between Jon and Ygritte is spot on. Ygritte is very cute I must say.

I can't wait to find out if 'Talisha' is really 'Talisha'.

I think Littlefinger recognize Arya. How come littlefinger is everywhere. I kinda wonder where is Varys.

The riot is intense too. Hope to see someone making a Joffrey slapping gif. 

It's getting closer to the battle.
Some part of the story is more than halfway, IMO. Like Bran's is toward the ends since it is without the Reeds siblings.

i agree that ygritte played by rose leslie is too pretty looking for a wildling.

The one with the best life so far is the old man, ehem ehem all his daughter and all his son become sacrifice 

about the boys, you think you're surprised?
wait for the next few episodes, you'll get more surprise

anyway... no surprise or shock at the ending scene, haven't read the book until that part, but still spoilt by reading the wikis long time ago

anyway... not much of memorable scenes in this episode, in fact... a lot of idle conversations...
maybe just to prepare for the ending climax

Also I'm in the first few chapters of Book2, seems like they've change quiet a few details in the TV series unlike Season1, which is pretty faithful to the book
are the producer & GRRM going towards a different direction for the TV series?
an original story like The Walking Dead perhaps?

I was actually surprised that Varys (Master of Whispers) didn't divulge Tyrion true love to Cersei. I wonder why he didn't tell her, it could have destroyed Tyrion. Maybe the Master of Whispers wants Joffrey dead too?

He's a moron, it's a simple as that, no ambition at all. He can't see beyond the day he's living.
