dulcinia,

Yes I have been wondering about Nymeria and think she will rescue Arya at some point too. I know what you mean about reading them all at once. I have not started the 3rd book yet. I am pacing myself, and reading other books in between.

Orb, I think you would enjoy reading the books too !

 

They have really strong female characters in " The Game Of Thrones series"   


 



Yep was first surprised with stronger independent women in Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series. And found it refreshing as don't like my women passive needing to be rescued in story or life. But one willing to box my ear's when I'm in the wrong :smileysurprised:

 

Just started to watch the series again!...Makes a great visual treat when working on the computer editing my photography images. Kind of like a background babysiter I pay attention to from time to time.

 

And just seen Mord is the gaoler in charge of the sky cells in the Eyrie as Tyrion tries to explain the concept of owing him money! Cracks me Up "Whack. "Is An Abstract Concept!".Whack!...Whack"

.

 


Lol That was funny in the book too ! Speaking of the Eyrie, I remember when Tyrion got into trouble by upsetting Lady Lysa who threw him in the sky cell in the first place. I think that was the first time he was slapped for mentioning what was obviously to everyone.

 

And then again he was slapped by his sister Queen Cersei., you would think he would not provoke the women who can inprison him or worse. Although he is truthful his timing could be better.

Lol  Oh yes I agree !!! Joffery heads my list of  Least Favorite Characters !

 

Then comes Viserys rotten brother of Daenerys. Not to be confused with Varys the" eunuch "also called " the spider" I like him now, He knows everything. Perhaps even more than " Little Finger "  I think I trust Varys more too.

Half the fun in this series is all the strange name variations and nick names of all the characters !

Yep seeing all kinds of great merchandise. Art Books to Swords,Daggers,jewelry and Sigils.

I Do admit wanting the Valerian Steel Dragon Dagger. You know just for slicing up Carrots & Onions and such :smileytongue:

But that kind of stuff is too spendy for me.
