But I do agree that there's something going on with her northiness, it's just that it's an ongoing thing even after four books.<br /><br />Robert is such a chickenshit.

Sure, it's not to big a leap to imagine the Maester on top of a tower taking an observation, or his brother Robb being Lordly... or Jon Snow on the Wall... but his mother on a ship headed toward a storm??? Sansa on the Kings Road crying??? To me that seems to be something Bran would be unlikely to guess. A clairvoyant vision perhaps? So maybe that 3 eyed crow really exists. Maybe?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221948480234077989.post-29693719416678421932009-05-17T20:12:00.000-07:002009-05-17T20:12:00.000-07:00"Fall". Loved it.

You're right, poor old sot has a pretty shitty deal altogether. And to think he actually had to try to be king, he didn't just inherit it.<br /><br />I was also very attached to the wolves and surprised to see one whacked so early. It was confusing to me to see Martin spend so much time drawing attention to the importance of these creatures, and then just kill one. At the same time though, he never demonstrated a closeness between Sansa and Lady to match that developing between the other Starks and their wolves. I never thought of it in terms of Sansa betraying her 'northness', but that's a good point. Keep an eye on those wolves though, the amount of debate that has gone into what the wolves 'mean' is borderline ridiculous.AnonyKimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221948480234077989.post-51956562304924020172009-05-17T03:36:00.000-07:002009-05-17T03:36:00.000-07:00god damn the lady death scene is one of the saddes...god damn the lady death scene is one of the saddest moments, it still upsets me after about 5 re-reads lol! its just the beautifully described scene where ned is sat stroking lady, looking off into the distance and thinking about how lady was always the best behaved of all the direwolves. totally agree about the karma thing, sansa really is just a silly little airhead. also, cersei= mega super bitch, although tbf i think most parents would want revenge if they believed that thier child had been attacked (esp. since sansa confirms joffrey's, not arya's, story).<br />i think what this chapter gets across is one of the main themes of asoiaf: bad, horribly unfair things happen to good people (or in this case, direwolves)joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221948480234077989.post-35740460343078446132009-05-17T00:47:00.000-07:002009-05-17T00:47:00.000-07:00I was ready to say that I have been missing the ac...I was ready to say that I have been missing the acid humour of your first few entries. Then I got to the "Repeat:" and the "Fall". Excellent entry. <br /><br />Also, interesting take on the symbolism. As a rule, I don't look for symbols when reading a book - certainly never in a first read-through - so I had not considered Lady's death that way. In the grand scheme of things, in fact, I see Lady's death in another light completely, but I can see your side too. Thanks, it has given me something to ponder.<br /><br />Grey WolfGrey Wolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221948480234077989.post-87253903279166366332009-05-16T23:16:00.000-07:002009-05-16T23:16:00.000-07:00He's crippled but he's very smart, keep it up.He's crippled but he's very smart, keep it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221948480234077989.post-59341529791473449952009-05-16T22:29:00.000-07:002009-05-16T22:29:00.000-07:00I am still enjoying your take on things as you rea...I am still enjoying your take on things as you read.
