    Depends on the audiobook.

    In this case it is one guy (Roy Dotrice) reading the entire book, but he does an amazing job at changing his voice and accent depending on which character is speaking.

    So, A Feast for Crows:
    Stranger couldn't have been found with Sandor because Arya took him. I picked up on that the first time around but didn't pay it much heed.

    But now that you guys have pointed it out, the septon knows an awful lot about Sandor, and he's being reaaaaally cagey with his answers.

    Sandor was the gravedigger, wasn't he?

    As for Gregor, I've tried to search for the relevant sections but urgh, audiobook.

    That's pretty cool.
    Still he's probably out of the series, then. A cameo as a lame gravedigger is a nice way of sending him off, but it reads like his retirement.

    After reading p.749 of AGOT, I'm realizing now that GRRM seems to have a problem with not adding depth to his antagonists (at least, in this book). Every single one so far in this book has been almost cartoonishly evil :?

    Oh well, at that dumbass Sansa finally got a reality check

    Keep reading!

    I know "trust me blahblah" must be annoying, but trust me you will think differently if you read the whole thing.

    When has anyone in this series just been quietly pushed to the side?

    I doubt it.
    It'd make more sense if you figure out the second part of what we're hinting at as well.
    'Cause I doubt Sandor is gonna let that pass him by.

    Let's tackle this from another angle Legba.

    Question 1: what do we know about why Qyburn was forced out of The Citadel?

    Question 2: he made a number of odd requests if Cersei and it's never explicitly explained what he was doing with that stuff, one item in particular is very very strange. Do you remember what anybof them were?

    Question 3: what does Qyburn offer Cersei towards the end?

    Just finished A Feast For Crows. Martin's "to be continued" note is a serious downer. :?

    So Martin is going to announce the fifth book soon, yeah? The one that will actually contain the characters I cared about in the first three books? Any day now, yeah?

    Any...

    Day.

    :(

    So now that you've finished
    Did you pick up on what was going on with each of the Cleganes?

    It's been a while since I read Feast for Crows and I can't remember what Clegane thing you're referring to. Can someone spell it out for me?

    edit: oh never mind I didn't realize everyone was still leading him to it. I'll just wait for him to get the ah ha! moment

    I manged to pick up on the Cleganes stuff, but totally missed Loras/Renly somehow.

    Fixed that right up thanks to the forums.

    I picked up on the Gregor thing pretty easily, but Sandor, Loras/Renly and
    Jon
    went right over my head until pointed out.

    Or it was a gorilla skull and that's why they made sure to strip it completely of flesh first.

    Just finished AGOT after several, several months (stupid school...). How would you all describe the second book? (non-spoiler please).

    I'll read it as soon as I'm done with Wolves of the Calla..
