A Song of Ice and Fire Series (Books) *Spoilers*

I'm not sure where to start off, but maybe it would be best to ask questions first to clear up what has happened in the five books. Sometimes it's difficult to remember if you haven't read them in a while.

F*ck you bot.

Reading A Storm of Swords, and man, shit's cray.

Having not read much past the "Rains of Castamere" episode at the Twins, I am equally bummed by the turn of event and yet anxious to see where the story goes. Also, that scene seems like a natural point choose as the finale for next season, but we'll see how I feel about that as I continue to read.

Man, I fucking hated in the fourth book, where Jon Snow discovers a mystic portal to an unknown place, and he goes through with Ghost, and they end up in 1970's New York.

^Which reminds me, finished the Dark Tower series not too long ago as well. Apparently the movie/hbo plan is back in action!

Season 3, episode 9 will be the Red Wedding, I have no doubt in my mind. The very last scene of the season, in episode 10, will be Joffrey getting got at his wedding, as a way to reconcile basically the most dramatic betrayal ever seen on TV. This seems pretty legit to me right now. Man I can't wait to see that shit go down on television.

I'm also extremely excited to see Ramsay Sno... er I mean Bolton! He's the best villain in the series so far, I think. He has the potential to seriously take the villainy in this show to the next level. People I know who haven't read the books are always telling me how much they hate Joffrey, and I'm like... maaaan you don't even know, there's another villain on the way.

I also can't wait to see the Brave Companions, I really hope they're as terrible and gruesome as they should be. I would love to see a leeching scene with Roose cause that shit was disturbing as hell. God damn season 3 is going to have some moments.

I'm currently re-reading through the series, am about 3/4 through Clash of Kings. Reading the books for the second time is even better, I think, knowing all the houses and having a better grasp of the lands and where everything this. Loving it.

After finally getting to that part (damnit DM haha), I think that the last scene may very well be Cersei accusing my main man Tyrion of the deed, and him getting carried away while Sansa disappears.

The frantic crowd, the unknown cause of death, and the desire to find out what happens next to sooooo many characters after such a scene would be a devilish cliff hanger...and sell A LOT of books...or give a Wiki of Ice and Fire plenty of traffic

Oh and as for SoS, I love how every chapter towards the end seems finish with quite a bit of suspense. Too much attention is often given to whatever people are eating and wearing, at least to my like, but appart from that I am really enjoying it.

Not sure whether I'll read the next books in the "Chronological" mishmash mentioned earlier. It would be cumbersome carrying both books around...

I don't think we'll see that scene. Wasn't Arya still at Harrenhall when it happened? It seems like the HBO series has sent Bolton up north already, instead of him residing in Harrenhall first. I might be wrong, but I thought he was there at the end of A Clash of Kings, or just at the begining of A Storm of Swords.

[DarkMaster]

Actually now that I think about it more, given that the last two seasons have ended with a supernatural, expensive CGI scene, I'm pretty confident that the last scene of next season will be from the epilogue of the book... ya'll know what it is I speak of. Plus it would tie back into the red wedding. Yea.... shiiit.

[DarkMaster]

Yea he's not at harrenhal in the show, but they could still do a leeching with him, at some place, wherever he ends up. He was there in book 2 and I think he's still there when Jamie comes by in book 3? something like that.

I've decided to read books 4 and 5 in the suggested chronological order posted earlier. AFFC via paperback, and DwD on my iPhone. Lessdoit!

Awesome! Let us know how you liked it. Also, where did you find the list?
Oh and have you read the books before or not?

[Angrist]

Nice. I downloaded that list and read the explanation. What kind of spoilers would book 5 have that are chronologically detailed before they happen in book 4? Unless it's maybe talk (in book 5) about a plot to kill somebody... who would eventually die (in book 4).

Oh I'm just wondering about the general concept, I don't want to hear the spoilers of course.

Kind of like that, yeah. Someone somewhere has a secret plan to do something. This plan is revealed farther in the book in AFfC. ADwD actually follows a character carrying out that plan. If you read these things strictly chronologically, you're going to know about this plan from reading about a guy carrying out prior to reaching the "surprise reveal" chapter from AFfC. It wouldn't necessarily ruin either book or anything, but it is intended as a surprise in AFfC. I'm sure if the books were written as one, GRRM would have handled it differently.

[Angrist]

Ah ok, thanks. I think the posted list works around that, right? Delaying the spoiling chapters a bit. Sounds like a good solution to me.
