I thought Brienne and Jaime's chapters were the only highlights of A Feast for Crows.

Really, the later chapters of Brienne's were actually good, because of other characters she met and so on. It was because of those chapters that I felt Brienne herself was improved as a character. I would rank her higher than Bran, in fact.

Also Jaime's chapters show how much he has changed since Game of Thrones.

But yes, it's the weakest book in the series. But it's still good.

Glad I'm not alone in this.

Really Bran's chapters are so strawberry floating dull. The only highlight is Hodor himself. Even when Bran the "three-eye crow" himself, I was disappointed. A bit creepy yes, but I was like "is that it?!"

I just hope there's a big payload coming regarding Bran (apart from the ability to see the past or present throught the POWER OF GOD TREES! Worst superpower ever considering he can't change anything?!. Otherwise what's the strawberry floating point?

Who says he can't?

What about when he whispered Theon's name to him? I'm not sure he would have attempted the rescue if not. (ADWD spoiler)

It could be a red herring, it could not be one. Who knows?

So I'm still on part 1 of ASoS. Really enjoying most of it, except Bran and parts of Arya story.

One question. Got to the part in one of Arya's chapter where some old woman is talking about a dream she had. Is this a little hint at things? The first line is like "a shadow with a golden heart butchering a golden stag", is that related to Renly? And are the other lines future hints? Or is it me reading too much into things?

Got a ADwD part 1 and 2 today as well. Must resist looking at back of book

Whatever you do, don't read any future book blurbs. Spoilers, spoilers everywhere.

I remember getting the impression that the overall conclusion of this series is going to heavily involve Bran and Arya.

Some ADWD spoilers in there.

That is what I thought. Otherwise it's just pointless waffle, padding of the saga.

Onto ASoS part 2 now.

Jamie rescuing Brienne

Arya getting kidnapped by someone else, again

Oh and from part 1, possibly my favourite moment so far that I can't wait to see on the tv show: Dany getting her dragons to burn those slavers and steal the Unsullied.

I agree. I think he has an important plans for these two characters.

And Hodor obviously.

Man, that Ramsay is a piece of work. Somehow I felt he's much more evil than the Lannisters combined.

He is more evil than the Lannister's combined. He's a sick bastard.

For anyone who hasn't yet gone digital, Amazon have the first four books in a 2 for £7 promotion. Just received the two volumes of A Storm Of Swords, quite liking the new covers, although slightly annoying they've made the books taller with the reissues. My poor first two volumes now resemble Tyrion next to the latter volumes.
