Are there any other excerpt chapters I should read beforehand? Or just any others at all? I can't find them on that site. THANK YOU BREH!!!
There have been like 9 either given out or read at conventions. The ones we have text for are:

Theon 1
Arienne 2
Tyrion 2
Barristan 1
Arya

Then you can find summaries of the read ones

Tyrion 1
Barristan 2
Arienne 1

I might be missing one and might be wrong about a couple items, Im at work doing this off the top of my head. I cant link them now either.

Except in dreams. She took a breath to quiet the howling in her heart, trying to remember more of what she’d dreamt, but most of it had gone already. There had been blood in it, though, and a full moon overhead, and a tree that watched her as she ran.

:ooh:

at some point before they started making this show, the producers had to know this could have happened. Its an extremely large and complex story and world and very tough to do in 7 seasons of 10 episodes each. As much as i love watching it on HBO, how cool would it have been for this to be an animated series? Much more manageable in terms of the actors ages, could have gone deeper into the story and not cut out any characters, 20 episode seasons, taken time out to do Robert's rebellion, Blackfyre rebellion, Dance of dragons, Greyjoy Rebellion, Long night, Stories from Essos. Im not much of an animated action fan, but i would be a die hard fan of this.

I just wish that maybe some movie studio exec reads the story and decides he wants to at least put Robert's Rebellion on the big screen. a 2 part movie, each 2 and half hours long so you dont have to cut anything out. With the popularity of the show, it would do numbers. Add a couple of big name actors to it and it would attract even more fans.

somebody please make this happen :to:

Nah, I certainly see the advantages of animation but anything animated would make this shyt corny/anime status

Damn. Reading that chapter threw me right back into Martin's writing style. One of the reasons these books are so easy to read is that there seems to be some payoff at the end of every chapter. When the guard said "my name is Rafford, sweetling" I knew exactly who he was, and said to myself he gotta go.

Raff the Sweetling was one of the Mountain's roadies. He was part of the group that first caught Gendry, Hot Pie, Arya & Lommy Greenhands. Lommy's leg was fukked up from a prior chapter and said that he couldn't walk w/ the rest of the prisoners and that Raff or someone "will have to carry me." Raff approached him all friendly said "Think so?" then shoved Needle through his throat.

In this chapter....

Arya slashes Raff's thigh and then claims there's a doctor next door that can help, but you have to go to him. Raff said he couldn't walk and that Arya "will have to carry me." Arya replied back "Think so?" and shoved Needle through his throat like a motherfukking boss :ahh:

Way back in the 2nd book there were Lannister men traveling with the Mountain looking for Gendry in the group headed to the Night's Watch. There was a soldier in the group named Raff and his nickname is Raff the Sweetling. Arya saw him kill Lommy after he hurt his leg and couldn't walk so he had been on her kill list since the beginning.

it definitely would have needed to be done perfectly and in a specific way. theres alot of margin for corniness in cartoons i agree.

I don't really remember either. She did mention she would miss being Mercy and seeing all the mummers so maybe he has her changing her face and catching bodies as a part of training. I imagine you have to make a large number of sacrifices to the Faceless god in order to become a Faceless man.
