The only thing left is for Jon to find out about his Targaryen heritage. Then the trinity will be complete.[/quote]
Why do you say he’s Targaryen? I was thinking he was a Baratheon… Curly black hair like Robert.

You are confusing the books with the show. He is more Stark-like in apperance than any of his siblings, even Arya.[/quote]
Gotcha, couldn’t find any of his descriptions… although it would make sense if he was really the Targaryan heir, Aegon being part of Vary’s scheme, considering Ned brought him home as a baby right after the war.
Am I the only one who thinks Stannis is still alive? Bolton sent Jon the raven saying his entire host was dead but he also wanted Reek and his bride back - both of which were at Stannis’ camp. I’m thinking Mance made a deal or something…

I believe so the Theon chapter GRRM released from winds of winter make it seem like Stannis is in a good position. And at the very least i believe Roose is dead since i doubt a living Roose would allow Ramsay to write the letter.

I was waiting for the second season to start reading the books. Now I got all of them ready, so I wanted to go with the third because I really want to start progressing with the story. I start to read and I’m like, totally lost. So I randomly read things from the second book and I have no idea what is going on.
I finally decide to read a synopsis (from wiki) on the second book and…what the hell did they do with the show? It’s like, totally different!
So I’m not sure if go with the third or re-read everything from the beginning…
What a mess.[/quote]
I watched the first two seasons and read the 3rd, 4th and 5th over the last 3 weeks or so. For the first 40-50 pages I was thinking WTF but it came together.[/quote]
I would start with book 2. The first season follows book 1 pretty much verbatim. Season 2 strays from book 2 quite a bit, but the main elements are basically unchanged. Everyone ends up being where they need to be and doing what they need to do for the story to advance in the same fashion.

The only thing major i noticed change that could cause problems from the story is the Cleftjaw knocking Theon out instead of Ramsay capturing him.
I know HBO can be racy, but I must have missed the memo about how it’s now a porn channel.
I got my mom and husband to read the books with me. I’m on book 3 now so I thought it might be fun to see how HBO brings the characters to life. I’ve watched about 5 of the episodes now. SHEESH! There is NO WAY I can talk to my mom about the TV series. She’d be over here washing my mouth out with soap.
And the books are starting to make me feel like I’m being strung along. I think he’s planning to write 10 or 15 of these. So much action but nothing ever gets resolved. I thought at least some of the Stark family might be coming back together by now. That said, Tyrion is a great character so I kind of keep reading just to get back to the chapters about him.
