You're welcome :) Enjoy!

I started this. Im still on the prologue though, lol. It's actually quite interesting! We're in Oldtown

I'll get back with a more detailed update when I've read more haha

I'm on the third chapter. Pretty sure I'll lose track of the chapters soon lol. I wish they were numbered

(view spoiler)[ Cersei! I was apprehensive of her perspective because I hate her, but on the flipside it would be interesting to read it and see how she justifies her actions lol. So we'll see. Jamie I also hated, but then I kind of started sympathizing with him in the last book, when we got his perspective.. what if the same happens with Cersei? Interested to find out.

Anyways, the mysterious alchemist in the prologue was the one who killed Balon, I think. And made it look like an accident.

I always wanted more insight into the Iron Islands and Dorne, and I got it! Interesting. Loving the Viper's daughters. Didn't realize he was that old. Tywin is dead though. So this seems like half their revenge is already taken, thanks to Tyrion haha.

(hide spoiler)] Speaking of, what do you think of the Storm of Swords' ending? It was a bit of a shock, since (view spoiler)[ Tyrion always claimed to love his family. But I guess he could only endure so much hate from.his family. (hide spoiler)]
And what do you think of the second chapter's ending? (view spoiler)[ I don't think Doran is on Tywin's side for real, maybe he just wants no war.. or something. He must have some motives I think. He did love his brother (hide spoiler)]

I'm 21% through.

(view spoiler)[ on Asha's chapter!! Woo. Exciting. Havent started yet

Cersei's second chapter was so juicy! Jamie's chapter was also interesting...and sad. His chapters have been so thoughtful and kind of sad recently. I'm glad we're getting both the twins' perspectives! Jaime helped Tyrion escape! Makes sense. I was starting to wonder why Varys would help Tyrion.

Also, why did Tyrion lie? Maybe because he didn't think Jaime deserved the truth? Since he did ask Tyrion if he'd actually killed Joffery :/ how could he kill his own nephew, Jaime? It really frustrated me that Tyrion lied

And oh, Podrick. Ever the faithful servant. I bet he'll die soon (hide spoiler)]

44% through

(view spoiler)[ finally another Arya chapter! She is having some adventures. The House of Black and White was interesting, I'd like to know more, especially what the priests do in the lowest level with the dead bodies! do they bury them there or something?
Arya is set to explore Braavos. I think the goal was not just that she learn Braavosi, but find herself, and decide if she wants to serve at the temple after all. I wonder if she will go back at all (other than to retreive Needle). Anyways, I am excited about what happens next

Brienne's chapter ended sadly. I was so sure she was getting scammed.. but turns out the guy was honest all along. I wonder what the point of her chapters is. Brienne is going on the wrong route so why are we following her?

Now I need Bran's perspective so I know how all my Starks are doing. (hide spoiler)]
