Game of Thrones quickly became my favorite fantasy story ever. The place was previously held by Lord of the Rings, but not anymore. Game of Thrones' characters are very alluring, well developed, and interesting. The setting -in my opinion- is better than any I've seen before. It truly is a marvelous epic story.
What we can expect from the third season is more plot twists. Oh God, much much more plot twists. Characters meeting and having multiple scenes together, including characters you never thought will ever meet. More players star playing the Game of Thrones. More betrayals, love, death, perspectives, failures, success, and a lot more.Characters we haven't seen since the first few episodes reemerge, smaller characters get bigger roles.
Be emotionally prepared, the stuff are more heart breaking than Eddard dying.
Now, I guessed a lot of stuff about the third part before I read it based on the second season. Now, if you know me, I'm pretty much the prediction master when it comes to TV, but Martin continues his mad man fiasco and surprises everyone with more twists and turns and a couple of BAAAM!s and KABOOM!s.
This is as far as I'll go without spoilers from the THIRD book, so if you haven't read that leave now.
What I'm really excited about seeing in the third season is the introduction of characters that were supposed to be introduced in the second season but were left out: Ramsay Bolton, Jojen and Meera Reed, and Ser Kevan.
I'm also excited to watch how the whole Sansa and Dontos situation played out, as they left all their Godswood meetings from the second season. Will Baelish just come out from the beginning and she'd instantly know he was behind it and AGREE to go with him? Sansa is my number one favorite character in both the books and the show, and seeing how she developed and grew throughout the third book is very fascinating. She still put her trust into people sooner than she should, Dontos was bad news, but she clung to a hope she had gained through a children's song. Which, kudos on that George R R Martin, showed the reader that she's just a child. Okay, she did go through a lot and witnessed a lot, but she still lives in her own world, shielding herself from everything bad out there, and when she saw a familiar glimpse of a story she loved when she was back home with her parents and brothers and sister she held on to that.
Will the prologue be filmed or would the murderous plots against Lord Commander Mormont be a complete surprise until the deed is done in a much later episode. Which, okay, let me talk about Mormont for a bit. The guy is built like a freaking bear, he's old, huge, and intimidating. He's one of those people that are probably weaker than they seem but are so badass and frightening they could probably scare an army. Who in their right mind came up with the midevil assassination idea?
Since we are talking about the Mormonts, let us talk about the bear cub. It was no shock that Jorah would come onto Dany sooner or later, I was not surprised by that at all, nor was I surprised by the whole I-will-punish-you-for-betraying-me thing. That whole plot was as predictable as a teen movie. Dany is a kid, she's trying so hard to grow up and prove she isn't but she is, and instead of keeping him as a close, and very wise, counsel she banishes him for betraying her before he even knew her. Back then, he wasn't sworn to her, he didn't know her, he didn't love her. It was a different time. The only thing he did wrong was send Varys a message from Qarth, which shouldn't be punishable by banishment. Sure, Dany did teach her "court"a lesson and they'll think twice before they cross her, but at what cost? Sacking the slavers and freeing the slaves in Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen was badass, though, I'll give her that.
Brienne and Jaime.
I love how Jaime's a lesser jerk when he's around her or when her safety is in the question. Yelling "SAPPHIRES!" and jumping into the bear pit. I know I'm romanticizing their relationship and then some, but I really don't care. I enjoyed reading Jaime's chapters. I'll risk and say they were my favorites in the book, all the excitement and constant flow of the plot, I loved it. I still don't forgive him for Bran, though.
Thanks to an idiot who didn't tag their post on tumblr, I found out about The Red Wedding prior to reading the book, so on that front I can't say I was surprised. The only thing I can say is Lame Lothar or whatever he's called is such a snake. I trusted him. I thought he didn't know. Roose Bolton, I was expecting as much of him, after all an apple doesn't fall far from a tree. I still love Roose, though, he's one of my favorite minor characters. He was right in doubting Robb as a king. He's a greenboy, and childish still. He lost the north, and his heirs in the process, while simultaneously managing to lose his biggest ally, cause a spread of doubt amongst his troops, and piss of his mom.
Greatjon and smalljon, I'm not sure if they were killed or taken captives, but I really hope it's the latter. As for Robb and Catelyn, good riddance. Robb is an idiot who can't honor anything, especially his dead father. He tries too hard to do the right thing and then ruins everything by being a stubborn little prick. It was a stupid thing to kill Rickard Karstark, and it was stupid to give Rickard reason to do what he did in the first place. He wasn't fit to be king. I'm curious if that was the theme of his royal plot from the beginning, to show that the Stark was less of a north-man than the Snow. I'm also curious to see how Catelyn 2.0 the Zombie edition works out in the fourth book.
Arya is continuing to kick some serious butt, but she's soon finding out that without Jaqen H'gar she's not a ghost, she's still a little girl who cant be overpowered with a hand of a bigger person. I loved seeing her with Sandor, that was pretty cool, seeing the dynamic between them and her seeing him for what he is. I liked the parts of her "prayers" a lot. I liked how her lists shrinks by the end of the book. I hate how she and Gendry got separated. I want to know how she can get "wolf dreams" like Bran and how she saw that Catelyn was actually dead.
Bran's part were fairly dull and slow until he reached The Gift, and then things started to get interesting. Meeting Sam, however briefly, it was awesome. I like his relationship with Meera and Jojen, and how he "reached out" to Hodor and both of them were terrified by what happened.
I liked The fact that Theon's chapters were gone and replaced by Sam's. Sam's chapters were very interesting, smoothly paced, and overall satisfying. I loved Sam the Slayer, I loved Sam the oathkeeper (to Bran's), and I loved Sam the wife savior. I loved what he did when he came back to the wall.
Everything about The Wall is great. Stannis coming to the aid, I almost died. Davos, you brilliant, faithful, wise man. All hail Davos, the onion lord, hand of the king. Rescuing the wall like he did, so much love for this badass.
And Stannis, offering the north to Jon. I couldn't believe it. It shows how Stannis developed as a character. Earlier in the series, he would have never offered a lordship to a bastard, and a brother of a traitor, but know he sees that in order to win compromises must be made. I loved that plot twist.
Because the book is super huge I'm going to just post a Roose Bolton reaction to some major events I haven't discussed:
a) Ygritte and John
b) Ygritte dying
c) JOFFREY'S DEATH
d) Tyrion & Sansa's marriage
e) Pyter pushing Lysa out the moon door
f) Tyrion killing Tywin
g) Peach Brothel's scene with Arya and Gendry
h) we find out Joffrey hired Bran's attacker
I) we find out Littlefinger was responsible for every bad thing that happened
final rating: 5/5
