A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin
5.0
Rating: 5/5
"And Robb. Robb who had been more a brother to Theon than any son born of Balon Greyjoy's loins. Murdered at the Red Wedding, butchered by the Freys. I should have been with him. Where was I? I should have died with him."
Oh god, I don't know where to start. My feelings are literally all over the place. This is definitely, DEFINITELY, my favorite asoiaf book. I love it I love it I love it.
ADWD has my favorite chapters of my two favorite characters, Theon and Jon. I literally enjoyed every single pov, esp Bran, Daenerys, and Asha's povs as well.
Now that I am writing this review, I realize that I genuinely can't put my feelings into words, so here are the things I want to scream into the void about:
-THEON INTRO BEING HIM EATING A RAT
-"You have to know your name."
-RICKON BEING ON A CANNIBAL ISLAND AND DAVOS GOING TO GET HIM AND WYMAN MANDERLY AND ROBETT GLOVER PLOTTING TO MAKE HIM LORD OF WINTERFELL???
-Theon sleeping with the dogs.
-Young Griff and Jon Connington?? So many thoughts.
-Tyrion and Penny's whole friendship or whatever you want to call it. Jorah being stuck with them as well.
-Barbrey Dustin and Brandon?? Wanting to feed Ned's bones to the dogs?? Hello???
-Bran being sad when the elk died, my baby <3
-Alys Karstark and Sigorn getting married!!! I ship.
-Every.Single.Thought. Jon had about Arya.
-Theon and Roose's conversations, Roose is so interesting I want to dissect his brain.
-"Jeyne, Jeyne, it rhymes with pain."
-THEON AND JEYNE'S ESCAPE.
-Asha and Alysanne Mormont !!
-THEON REUNITING WITH ASHA.
-Victarion Greyjoy being batshit crazy.
-Ramsay's letter to Jon.
-Every single Jon and Melisandre interaction.
-Val and Jon being so cute. I love Val so much.
-Tormund talking about his dead sons :(
-Quentyn's death?? That was so nasty I felt bad for him.
-Jon being messy as hell talking about Selyse having to get Stannis into her bed before giving him more children lmao??
-BARISTAN SELMY BEING SUCH A FATHER TO DANY AND MISSANDEI I LOVE HIM
-Whatever the hell is wrong with Patchface and why Melisandre gets bad vibes from him.
-Theon and the weirwood trees.
-Brienne coming to take Jaime to Lady Stoneheart??
-Cersei's walk of shame...reading what she thought while it was happening made me sad ngl. I could never hate her.
-“I ride to Winterfell alone, unless…” Jon paused. “…is there any man here who will come stand with me?”
The roar was all he could have hoped for.
-Ghost sensing Jon was in danger :(
-Bran seeing a memory of Ned and thinking he's alive...
-Jon getting killed by his 'brothers', no one touch me.
-“I was tired, Jorah. Weary of war. I wanted to rest, to laugh, to plant trees, see them grow. I am only a young girl” totally fine, totally not crying.
I honestly don't know what I am supposed to do knowing that I will have to indefinitely wait for TWOW release now. I NEED THAT BOOK. SO BAD.
