Closing the book at the end, dropping it to the floor, and kicking it under the bed was the greatest payoff.

I read it on a Kindle, so I couldn't use it as a doorstop or extra toilet paper afterwards.

I am so confused. Did you kick the book under the bed and leave it, kick the bed under the table THEN retrieve it to use as a table prop or just use it to level out your table? :911:

You're saying you weren't riveted by Daenerys making GBS threads all over herself?

That easily tops the siege of Winterfell or Tyrion killing Tywin. Or whatever happened at the end of Feast.

Wasn't the end of Feast when Jaime throws Cersei's letter into the fire? Or maybe that was a penultimate chapter. Either way, that was an incredibly strong conclusion.

Jon is dead, but will get resurrected by Melisandre.

Aegon pretty much has to get killed, because him being around will take the punch out of the inevitable "Jon is actually a Stark-Targaryen-Atriedes and is a warg who is immune to fire and also he has been King THIS WHOLE TIME" reveal.

Right, not to go all azure_horizon here but christ this isn't loving difficult.

The prologue established that
A) Jon Stark is a warg
B) wargs warg into their animal upon their death.

Therefore either:
A) Jon didn't die or
B) he's chilling in ghost right now.

Option C) Melisandre resurrects Jon, is - if it occurs - going to be hilarious given Jon's transferred conscience. Or GRRM's fan encyclopedia forgets about the BLATANT FORESHADOWING in the prologue.

I have a picture of me with GRRM. He looks less than enthused.

If you're warged into something else can another warg take over your body while you're away? Bran wargs Hodor, Jon wargs Bran, Bran tries to go back but is blocked and wargs a tree. Jon then wargs Hodor and Bran wargs Jon and I think Hodor ends up as a tree.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I'm really hoping for some closure on the most important, rivetting character. I cannot wait for Pies of Hotness another five years, that's simply unacceptable.

There is a whole group of them. They're the big bad's elite guards basically, which they accomplish mainly with pain dildos and BDSM rape.

But the main character is so awesome because objectivism that they fall in love with him and renounce their evil ways.

When we say pain dildos, do we mean vaguely phallic pain wands or do we mean strap-ons with a glans and possibly balls that are specifically used to induce pain via loving?

Later on an evil witch who used to be a not-Aes Sedai (they're totally not ripped straight of WoT, NOT AT ALL) kidnaps him and takes him to Fantasy Moscow where she rapes him a lot and he then starts a business with his bootstraps which he uses to buy poo poo so he can make a statue and the statue is so awesome that Fantasy Moscow embraces capitalism and goes to war against the bad guys and the evil witch falls in love with Richard and joins the good guys.

Also there's an evil chicken.

And the whole series culminates in a soccer riot.

I'm being 100% serious, this stuff is literally in those books.

Pretty much anything you hear about Sword of Truth is true because nobody needs to lie about it.

Like they don't use the word dildo but it is completely a dildo. Also dildo is a great word so it is objectively a worse book for not using the word dildo. Dildo.

Sort of reminds me of a non-pussy Ender that actually owns up to his ball-busting. Hot Pie was last spotted making bread for the Brotherhood Without Banners. We can safely assume that Jon Arryn's dying words were of course referring to Hot Pie.

In the last(or second to last?) book Richard gets captured by the bad guys and they put him on some team of something or other that each army unit has for some reason. Of course since he is Richard he is the best player ever and totally owns and gets to the championship match which is conveniently held at the siege where his wife and the pain dildo squad are camped out and anyway long story short Richard is so awesome at fantasy soccer he inspires everyone to go crazy and wreck the big bad's plans and then he sends people without magic to earth and magic lives happily ever after until Goodkind needed a payday and started writing more novels about the main characters but flat out refuses to call them Sword of Truth novels and I haven't read those yet.

I don't know that I ever will. I read the first ones like 10 years ago over summer break and kept up with the new releases because I kept getting them as gifts. So, I guess at least you can say that Goodkind, even though his books are Randroid self insert rape fantasy, can get books out the door, unlike Gurm.

To be fair, testicles are poison factories and them fuckers rupturing and spilling chemicals means you have not a lot of time before you up and die.

Kick Gurm in the balls, I guess*.





*Kick hard and with a stretched, flatted foot shape for maximum rupturosity.
