I started reading Dance just recently and I'm just dumbstruck as to what happened in any of the other books. I need some resource I can read to catch me up. I tried finding one at Tower of the Hand but couldn't.

Any ideas?

Stop reading dance and read from the beginning of the series, you'll have no idea what the gently caress if you keep reading on.

Yes I started on book five because I am a loving retard. It is known.

I just put the book down and I'm sad. Sad because i'll either have to wait for years before I can read the next book or i'm never going to read it because he'll loving die.

The best book that i've ever read. Maybe it's just because i've waited for so long. But I think it is.

It's messy, it jumps around and it never finishes what it starts. But the characters and the world is so alive.

Unlike Kevan :( RIP Kevan you were a good guy and I hope Varys somehow ends up with Ramsay.

All the extra bodies in Winterfell just goes to show that the coalition is failing. Manderly is surely having some killed, Mance and his girls were out killing too and I bet even Ramsay snuck out every now and then to kill someone because he is really psycho. Theon probably didn't do poo poo.

So how is it reasonable that anyone will survive X years of winter when after just a month nobody can move anywhere? Will it get just as bad in further south or?

I always figured that in the whole Summer/Winter cycles there were like Winter years that were simply a lot colder but they still had spring and like thaws and maybe a month here and there where you could plant poo poo.

If its four years of real loving cold winter how do any trees and poo poo survive?

Hey guys, I am into the book now. Looks like Tyrion will have some dwarf on dwarf sex.
Things are looking up!

The dwarf sex with the dog and pig is probably the highlight of the books.

Is tales of dunk and egg any good?

it is the best

Dunk is like really loving awesome and he's a very real character. I think my favorite thing about him is that he's like this really honorable knight but he's just not good with a lance and not that great with a sword either and circumstances conspire to make sure he always kills people in the most thuggish ways conceivable.

The second D&E story has a loving Disney ending and I could not loving believe it when I was loving reading it gently caress. And the rest of the story was mostly dull as well, it helped to flesh out small-scale Westeros and that's about it.

The first and especially the third one, however, are quite good. Just pretend the protagonist is an alien visiting the world of ASoIaF.

Disney ending? You mean he gets stabbed in a river and doesn't get the girl?

Number three had the really stupid character Fiddle who pretty much from the start was screaming at the top of his lungs; "HEY GUYS IM REALLY loving GAY AND WANT TO SLAM MY PENIS INTO DUNKS GAPING rear end"

Is there a place somewhere where they discuss what sort of magic powers there acutally are in this series? I mean to me it looks like every "god" might have the same powers really:

Old gods and Rh'llor can both warg poo poo.

Old gods and Rh'llor can both see visions related to future/past through focus.

Rh'llor and Others can both bring people back to "life". Quentyn (?) can too.

Drowned God can also bring people back to life.

Not to mention shadowbabies which is something that more then Rhllor can do right?

Are there more examples?

I did too, I'm just trusting that it happened.

I caught the other stuff some people missed (Renly being gay, etc), but completely missed Theon being castrated it's a bit embarrassing.

They did something to his penis. For all I know its just a piercing.
