A Feast For Crows ~ 25. CERSEI V *Discuss only this chapter and anything prior

Re: When Cersei tells Tommen jousting is in your blood and she was meaning Jaimie,not Robert.

Oooops, epic fail!

I loved Margery calling her on it. Margery is sharp as a tack!

"Supper promised to be a tedious affair as well. It was hard work to rule a kingdom much less seven of them."

If you don't like it Cercei dear step down and rid us of your malevolence.

I hate Cersei's chapters. She's a short-sighted lackwit and I find this stupid quarrel between her and the Tyrells extremely annoying, especially when she and Maergery start comparing their dick-size. (I'm not sure the expression exists in English, but it's quite a fitting one, I think.) I don't understand her. She fights for power, but what does she intend to do with the kingdom? So far her only goal is to surround herself with stupid people with zero character whom she can control (and then she whines about how stupid and incompetnet they are... such logic) and to basically prove that she "has the biggest dick". K, fine, and then what? She thinks of ruling as something stagnant, but it's not. A ruler is a leader, someone who guides the kingdom in a certain direction. Any king or queen who does not is bound to be soon forgotten. She brings shame to the feminist movement. She's arrogant, stupid and cruel. I can't stand her and I can't stand her chapters. I also can't stand Maergery. She reminds me of both Cersei and Sansa, though she's probably more clever than both put together. I also hate reading about Loras because all I can think about is his grief for Renly. I mean, it's not fair, I didn't even like Renly, why should I feel sorry he's dead? Come on, Martin, can't you just let me get over it already?

When she said if she was to wed with Rhaegar he would never lay eyes on the wolf girl. Oh, how wrong could you be Cercei, you narcissistic, selfish, vulgar fool.

This is the first time I feel disgusted by her for real. She underestimated everyone and believed herself to be better than everybody else. That's a terrible combination for a ruler.

Not Davos! I seriously can't wait to get to the next book to see what happened there!
Tommen is totally adorable.
I wonder what Qyburn is up to.
... Did she try to kill Lady Tanda?
Not Bronn!

I enjoy Cersei as a character. She bumbles around, far less politically savvy than anyone else in her family, trying to manipulate people yet very transparent to everyone. She's such a prisoner of her own emotions and whims, it would be pathetic if it wasn't so comical. Having said that, this chapter was too long and actually mostly dull. A Feast For Crows is turning out to be my least favorite installment in the ASOIAF series.
