I'm gonna blast through the book then wait a few days and start a slow paced reread.
Puddles said:I have a few questions:
1) How the fuck is Jon a Mary Sue?
2a) Why are ASoIaF fans the only people on earth who use the term "Mary Sue"?
2b) Why do they think that every character who isn't Joe Everyman qualifies?
ezrarh said:I think the publisher might working some fierce intimidation tactics because it really is surprising a book of this caliber has not been leaked online yet.
Basileus777 said:How can a publisher intimidate some random book owner from scanning and OCRing a book? It's pretty surprising that it hasn't been put online yet, but I guess only a few hundred people actually have the book.
PhoenixDark said:I'll probably wind up reading 100 pages a day lol, maybe less. Gotta savor this meal because another won't be coming for years

Varys motivations are even more confusing than before. I had really hoped ADWD would shed some light, but it's the opposite really.

Yeah, it's a lot like the phrase "deus ex machina" in that way.LaserBuddha said:Jon's a Mary Sue because when people first hear that term, they go through a period of misapplying it to a lot of things because it makes them feel smart.
shintoki said:This so much. Finish reading. It will take you 2-3 days, maybe a week. You'll have the next 5 years to discuss it.
Emerson said:Is there anyone who has read ADWD who would answer one question for me? Just yes or no with no more explanation.
bengraven said:I fucking highlighted your spoiler out of stupidity...and yet, it's very very weak and I'm not mad at all, so no worries.
I'm happy to see the character has returned as he's one of my favorites and we'll get some more look at his confusing plans.
Pokielhl said:Yeah I tried to keep it vague, but since a specific character was mentioned I guess it counts as a spoiler.
Thanks, PM sent.Pokielhl said:Sure, just pm me if you don't want to post on here.
PhoenixDark said:Sounds good. I've got a specific question I'll put in spoilers
Martin initially said many of the AFFC cliff hangers would be addressed here. Does Cersei have a POV, or is there a POV of a character in King's Landing to address her situation? Just a yes or no if possible bro
Pokielhl said:30-40% would be my guess but it's hard to pin the exact point down.
elrechazao said:any alleras appearances? don't want any more info than that
Pokielhl said:No, I was visiting a friend in Sweden (back in the States now). The street date was broken at a store in Stockholm, and other places throughout Europe from what I hear.
If this book isn't at least 40% dick crabbe POV chapters, I'm hunting you down personally.Pokielhl said:No, I was visiting a friend in Sweden (back in the States now). The street date was broken at a store in Stockholm, and other places throughout Europe from what I hear.
And when I say it's my favorite I'm not guaranteeing everyone will feel the same so don't hurt me when you find out Thoros doesn't resurrect Ser Dontos.
Pokielhl said:I'm 75% sure it is called Hedengrens Bokhandel, but I can't seem to find there website. I don't speak Swedish and was lead there by my friend so don't quote me. I bought it right after the leak.
Pokielhl said:I don't want to get your hopes up so don't go running all around the city. One more week (but I guess thats easy for me to say lol)
shintoki said:This so much. Finish reading. It will take you 2-3 days, maybe a week. You'll have the rest of your life to discuss it and speculate on how the series would've ended had it been finished.
Deadly Monk said:Yeah, scanned book is out. I will read very slowly until the actual book comes out!
I already learned one interesting fact about a certain power some have(not a big spoiler and not character related but it could lead to many new theories):beyond the wallIt seems when you die as a skinchanger in your human body, you can permanently go inside another body or animal to continue living (obviously leaving your dead body behind).
