crime stoppers Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 So I'm about 3/4 of the way through book five, if you don't want spoilers skip this post. Davos is boring and fucking useless throughout the whole series, I can't think of any important or game changing shit he's done. Arya and Bran have some awesome things going on, I like their chapters I think most of all. Tryion just won't fucking die and every sexual reference to Daenerys is paedophilia, I always thought George RR Martin was a sexual predator, all this shit with 13 year olds getting fucked is pretty fucking weird. The non-linear style of books 4 & 5 pissed me off, by reason of how he wrote it, there should be big climaxes in book 4 and there just aren't, book 5 and the dragons are now only just big enough to ne cool. I like the books don't get me wrong but the style of writing, POV, does my head in P.S cersei lannister hasn't gotten fucked over once until the very end...definitely expected some gang rape from the predatory writings of Martin.

crime stoppers Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 What?! Are you kidding me? No. He shipped off Robert Baratheons bastard, got made kings hand and fought in the Blackwater battle...what else has he done? That shit with manderley was nothing either.

Realism Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Davos is set up to do some game changing activities...I dunno I really liked the 5th book, probably because it blew AFFC out of the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 No. He shipped off Robert Baratheons bastard, got made kings hand and fought in the Blackwater battle...what else has he done? That shit with manderley was nothing either. Maybe you haven't read it yet, but Davos is wrapped up in some of the most important drama going on right now. Like, right in the thick of it, and all that crap he went through with Manderly was the set up for that. There is also his beef with Melisandre and his relationship with Stannis. Also as disappointed as AFFC seems, I think a lot of shit that happens in that book is behind the scenes important. Especially the epilogue.

crime stoppers Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hmmm *picks up book* I'll let you know in a few days, for the meantime it think it would be hard to argue that his chapters were always some of the slowest of all the characters. Littlefinger, I always thought (still do) that he will be the major influence if the pedophile evers writes the next book, I hear he is.

Realism Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Littlefinger/Sansa will definitely be major parts of the next book...I feel like I remember reading something where Martin said he wouldn't really be adding many new characters over the next two books. Pretty much everyone is in the thick of things now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newer Bigger Better Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nigga davos is about to save Rickon! He's awesome. Also rickon warged and killed a unicorn. And also davos is rad in general. You're trippin hardballs. FACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviltrailer77 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I had to pull up the song of ice and fire wiki a few times when it was reading the 5th book, like who the fuck is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime stoppers Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 the appendix in the 5th book is fucking monstrous. i like the little acknowledgement notes he leaves in the last few pages, by the sounds of things the tedium with all the characters, places and shit pisses him off. http://www.theonion.com/articles/these-last-two-are-gonna-be-real-turds-george-rr-m,26934/ anyone have any ideas when the next book is coming out? too lazy to google.

crime stoppers Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 finished book 5. i maintain that davos is a useless fucker. well, that series was a pretty enjoyable waste of time. every ending to the books, though, was kinda anticlimactic. like, oooh, theres a bunch of dothraki and shes next to her dragon...tha end. really? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer Bigger Better Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ther is no ending to books. It's not done yet, so why would the end of the books be climactic? And also you're an idiot about davos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime stoppers Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I said the ending of each book is anticlimactic, I thought that was obvious. Also, unless you want to persuade me that davos isnt a douche, then eat shit. Opinions are like assholes. Realism, sorry dude, i didn't really spoil too much though.

eviltrailer77 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The Davos chapters provide perspective in to the political wranglings of the other noble houses, showing how they are trying to hedge their bets and play all the sides to the maximum extent possible.

fat ralphy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 must not read thread. i am going to finish the first book tonight, took me about three weeks. definitely have time to finish the second book before the series starts in april. i am impressed with martin so far, it is really done well....i am surprised at how faithful HBO was to the book. anyway, I like the book, carry on.

I dunno man, maybe what you read doesn't really sink in. There's nothing anticlimactic about the ending to DWD. In fact, its quite the cliff hanger. The Dothraki that show up she has major beef with. You know, the horde that split up when Drogo bit it? And she's all alone with her Dragon that may or may not give a shit about her... yup, pretty anticlimactic...
