How do you hate Victarion?! He's one of my favorite characters. Re-reading the books, Theon is becoming one of my favorite character also.

Victarion is just a brute. His whole "fear me I am the Kraken all will bow before me or die!" machismo gets old.

He is just a brute, but in a series of schemers and master manipulators he's a little different from the usual POV and that's his charm, at least for me....that and the fact that he's basically become a force of nature now that he's embraced the Red God, I'm sure that's put a kink in Euron's plans. He kinda reminds me of Conan the Barbarian, or at least the (naturally) less intelligent Ironborn equvilant.
I've no illusions about him living in the long run but I just want to see the Ghiscari meet his axe and hopefully have him and his wretched brother finish each other off.

Vicatarion is like Jaime for me. I don't like the character on a personal level like I do Jon or Tyrion, but I enjoy reading their chapters just as much.

I just like Victarion because he's bad***, that's about it. Somehow his brutality comes off as cool unlike say Ramsay's. Not sure why.

I haven't even gotten to this point in the books, but I really, really can't wait to see Lady Stoneheart on GOT.

Can someone tell me whether, at any point after the first two books that are out, we get any indication as to what the hell happened to Benjen Stark? Or if he's even still alive?

Maybe one of the main characters will head to Valyria and find him living in a harem full of silver haired-purple eyed women ![]()

What got me thinking about him is that I saw a thread elsewhere discussing the "The dragon has three heads" prophecy. One thing someone mentioned is that it could be Jon, Daenerys, and Tyrion because all 3 of their mothers died from childbirth. I thought about Valyrian steel swords. Jon already has Longclaw, Dany may come across Dark Sister or Blackfyre. If Tyrion is the third, perhaps he finds Brightroar and his uncle's fate.

The identities of the three dragon riders were something I had in my head as I started re-reading. I'm not very far.. maybe 1/4 through the first book but there were a few things that really struck out at me. One was the first chapter that Tyrion and Jon were talking.. a line that says something a long the lines of As Tryion walked into the doorway the flame cast his shadow taller and for just a moment, Tyrion was as tall as a king. Then more specifically to what you were saying.. One of the chapters when Tyrion and Jon are headed to the wall... Tyrion mentions to Jon that when he was a boy he would stare into the fire for hours and imagine it was dragonsbreath and that he always dreamed of riding a dragon because then it wouldn't matter that he was a dwarf. Jon initially mocks him for dreaming about dragons but as the chapter ends, Tyrion is going to bed and he looks back at Jon who is standing guard and sees Jon staring into the fire the same way Tyrion had described to him and Tyrion makes a sad smile and leaves. Just wondering if maybe that might be a little foreshadowing. I've really found a lot at this point.. and I'm sure I'm reading way too much into things now on my second read through.. things like the very first chapter being about Bran and wondering if there is any significance to that.. all kinds of crap like that..lol |
