[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 1220099, member: 5100"] I'll agree with you whole-heartedly on Jon and Tyrion. Jon is easily my favorite character in the books and I think an entire novel or three that featured just him would suck me in. Dany, on the other hand, bores me to tears. Her "journey" thus far has taken her from pathetic to uninteresting. Her actual plot line could be condensed by half at no loss. The cultures she interacts with are interesting to a point, but seem to jar against the rest of the tale. If she were given her own novel or three, I think it could be justifiably compared to some of the "filler" books in the Wheel of Time series. The only reason I don't skip over her chapters entirely is because I'm sure she will have some significant role to play later -- of course, I'd probably care about her more if she wasn't introduced until then. I'm terribly afraid that the whole thing will wrap with Dany showing up and successfully reclaiming her crown, possibly to be wed to Jon Snow. I'm truly hoping that things do not turn out that way. If she were a real person, I think I'd probably like and respect her, because she seems to want to do the right thing and be a decent person. As a narritive entity, I have more desire to see Cersei Lannister or that mummified satyr Frey come out on top. My only hope is that, despite all the chapters in the first book devoted to Ned, he is, apparently, not that important of a character after all. [/QUOTE]
