The North was really the only part of the book I liked.

Anyone else waiting for her to get to the (not for Shimpy) chapter?

UnCat should've been on the show since at least halfway through season 4. Would've been a nice big WTF moment out of nowhere in the middle of the season.

Should the title be changed now that she's on A Clash of Kings?

I'm looking forward to reading the Theon/Reek/Winterfell/Bran/etc. stuff in this book. It was kinda confusing on the first go-around so maybe I'll get it this time. (1500th post in this section of the forum)

He's not really known for his writing style. I never really found anything special about it. It's his characterization, world building, and food porn that people like :D

I'm waiting for shimpy to get to that chapter :P

He was an ass to Edmure during the funeral for Hoster.

I can't wait to re-read the bit with Arya in Harrenhal. I don't remember it very well.

I'm starting my first re-read of this book today. My memory of it is a little cloudy so I'm pretty excited to read through it again.

Avoiding spoilers will always be hard. I started out as a show watcher, and watched the first 2 seasons first. I got spoiled on Blackwater so I just went ahead and read the books because if I'm reading directly from the source material, then that's not really being spoiled, so I can't be spoiled anymore.

Ugh I want to go into that Unsullied thread so badly. They're talking about buying the books just to burn them (I hope they're joking). Most of that shit didn't even happen in the books!

I plan to join you on this re-read once I get my books tomorrow. My old paperback AGoT lost like 75 pages so I ordered the big hardcovers of books 1-4 to match my hardcover ADwD. I swear if the cover for TWoW doesn't match the rest of them...

I think at least one of the horns will be brought up in season 5 now that the Wall/Castle Black should be featured more prominently on the show.

I love how the Unsullied are swearing off the show if Tyrion dies. The acting is good and all but I think they could've done better with Tyrion's material. Turn him into the dick that he can be in the books.
