And yes, the author certainly keeps you on your toes, he does not have much fear of turning his story on its head.

But, once again, if you like the show, read the books. The first season of the show was good but in many ways it only skims the surface of the action in the books. He puts so much depth into his story its unreal.

Agreed on Tyrion and Arya though, those 2 are by far my favorite perspectives to read. I also love Cersei chapters. Not for their humor but watching her put out fires with gasoline and being so dense to not realize she is screwing herself... is priceless.

Dany may be but a young girl and knows little of war, but she does kind of paint herself into corners. She struggles between trying to be hard and soft at the same time...I'm about 40% through book 5 right now and am already itching for book 6, though it will be what, 2 more years?
