It would appear I've left a few questions unanswered! And with that it's time for reader mail! The first message comes from the user MarquessLaus. Marquess posts:
You read the spoiler TWOW chapter too?
Yep! I read it earlier today on my lunch break. I had a feeling that that was the way GRRM was going to go with the whole Stannis/Asha/Theon thing, and I thought the part with Maester Tybald sending the map to Winterfell was really interesting.
The next message comes from user AlecTrevelyan006. Alec writes:
FETUS: Have you read the Dunk and Egg tales? Will there be spoilers for them in here?
I read them, but I will try not to mention them if you haven't.
Nope! I frankly don't even know what you're talking about.
And with that said, it's time for some HONORABLE MENTIONS!!!
The first honorable mention goes to the Sand Snakes. So many snakes! I absolutely love the idea of a rogue assassin prince raising a bunch of bastard children and training each of them to be a different sort of world-class assassin. I didn't include them because A) none of them really stand out as especially good characters on their own, and B) I like the idea of them as a group.
Next up is the lore characters: Bran the Builder, Joramun, the Brandon's Gift Brandon Stark, Azor Ahai, etc.. I'm a sucker for lore and mythologies - maybe that's why I like the Silmarillion more than Tolkien's other stuff - and this stuff is all sorts of awesome to me. I geeked out when Bran got together with the Children of the Forest.
