Daenerys is my favorite female character, any book, any genre.

How's that for a ringing endorsement? :Hail:

Oh yes. When she...

Set Drogon on the slavers and ordered the Unsullied to release the slaves
...I was like, "YEAH!" :D

I actually feel a little sorry for Stannis. Can't say that I like him, but having just read Melisandre's "vision" of him, I can see that he is probably getting used. :(

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

"Mostly muffins sir."- My answer in response to the question posed by the officer, "Son, do you have anything on you I should know about?"

His response: "Holy $&!^. He's not kidding! Look at all these muffins!"

OMG! I am SOOOOOO sorry. :oops:

But anyway, Anya's little nightly prayer. Do you think that she will have it answered? I'm guessing that by the end of the sixth book, every person she "prays for" will be dead, even if she dies at the end.

I just bought the hardback; I'll continue to ignore this thread until I actually read it, though.

Tyrion Lannister is without doubt my favourite, seconded by Jon Snow.

I really, really, really hate Aeron Greyjoy. He's got to be one of the most annoying characters in all of literature. I have nightmares of that freak asking me "Have you been drowned?" Those drowned-god worshippers are members of a suicide cult. I want to see them all fly! Now! Now!

I cant stand Sansa. Her chapters are painful to read.

Hehe, I'm not a fan of Sansa either. She get's better though. Not much better, but better. ;)

Her mother's chapters can be a major drag, too. Catelyn is a total harshmellow.
