Saying "beware of book 3" isn't a spoiler...I even left out the colloquial name of Signature Book 3 Event cause it's kind of spoiler-y. Trust me, there weren't any spoilers beyond what's included in the review...I've been around TV fans, I know what I'm doin'. ;) <br /><br />This, however, is mildly spoiler-y: <br /><br />You never see what happens to Syrio, hence the Syrio = Jaqen theory. As to why she wouldn't recognize him, I'll leave you unspoiled. I've finished them all, and I still have no idea what happened to Benjen (only theories, one of which is really obvious and is the theory du jour: Coldhands.), so be prepared to wait on that count. Agreed about the killing.

So sad. I do appreciate that everyone warned me well in advance that there is no lack of death.

GRRM will kill everyone/everything you love. (There was one scene, which I won't mention here because spoilers, that made me absolutely bawl and it didn't even involve a human.) <br /><br />I definitely don't blame you for not finishing the book, Alex. Each one of these took me several weeks to read (except for Storm of Swords, which I stopped reading for three weeks after throwing it at the wall). XD Plus it's not the kind of thing you want to rush, since it's so freaking detailed. <br /><br />Sidenote: I've never heard that theory before, but I like it! (I really wanted to comment on Cassy's comment about it but I'm trying to refrain from spoilers, lmao. Suffice it to say that no, she wouldn't necessarily!)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507278955078643563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417852593384043397.post-12916576183603606072013-03-22T22:10:55.667-04:002013-03-22T22:10:55.667-04:00I'm sort of sliding down so I don't ruin t...I'm sort of sliding down so I don't ruin this but gosh I totally want to read this!Necie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03412535675640816608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417852593384043397.post-34011840638950325252013-03-22T14:59:46.444-04:002013-03-22T14:59:46.444-04:00I love that you leave a bajillion spoilers on here...I love that you leave a bajillion spoilers on here. XD<br /><br />SOME PEOPLE HAVEN'T READ PAST BOOK TWO (Or book one, in Alex's case.)<br /><br />Isn't Jaqen that guy Arya meets at the castle in book 2? You would think if it was Syrio, she would recognize him.<br /><br />(Also, we never SAW what happened to Syrio, so I still have hope. The same way I have hope for Benjen. I feel like if Martin was going to kill someone, he'll just do it. He won't leave them shrouded in mystery.)Cassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730406902174444302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417852593384043397.post-55835190286065876592013-03-22T12:13:21.789-04:002013-03-22T12:13:21.789-04:00Aw, you guys haven't gotten to book 3 yet...th...Aw, you guys haven't gotten to book 3 yet...that is the real gut-wrencher. I never really get emotionally invested, but that one I had to put it down and walk away sometimes because it was just kind of like an emotional wringer. <br /><br />Fear not for Syrio, there is a theory floating around out there (which interestingly enough came from the TV people not the book readers.) that Syrio is Jaqen. I like it because I like both characters and I like the role models that come into Arya's life. So I'm going to subscribe to the Syrio = Jaqen theory. <br /><br />Only like 1-2 weeks left until the show comes back. <3 <br /><br />Who knows how long till the next book. =( http://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgIKristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153281751902175288noreply@blogger.com
