Changing the subject a little bit here but I have been looking for other books to read since I have finished GoT for the second time and I ran into this gem called Blood Song by Anthony Ryan. I am about 120 pages in and I can't stop reading it. I will probably have it all read before the end of the week. Just thought I would suggest it to anyone looking for a good mid evil type warrior books dashed with a little bit of magic.

The Malazan Book of the Fallen was recommended to me by someone on here and has not been disappointing in the slightest.

The other reason Ned didn't tell Catelyn is that he promised Lyanna he wouldn't tell anyone the truth, including Catelyn. The book doesn't come right out and say that, but some of Ned's thoughts about the price he paid to keep his promise sort of implied it. And if Ned makes a promise...he's going to keep it.

If you start in the Malazan series, be prepared to not read anything else for a while.
It starts with a 10-book cycle that is several thousand pages all together. And there are six more books beyond that. It's worth it, though. Incredible stuff.

They didn't even like eachother when they got married. Sure they grew closer, but it was best for everyone if she thought the child was Ned's. Prevent any accidental slip up. Or her thinking she could trust someone and saying it.. You know how women work.

Cat was engaged to Eddard's brother Brandon, right up until he stopped being alive.

You can probably skip Night of Knives, the first of his novels (it's a short read, though), but the rest are very interesting and add quite a bit of nice weaving to the mythos.

Just got caught up on GoT by watching the final 2 episodes on the DVR.
first ... George R.R. Martin is a seriously twisted ****. secondly ... nobody really left to care, i hope the white walkers kill the entire world.

Next season, we'll find out that the White Walkers are just misunderstood and they are really good guys at heart.

The ironborn again? Dammit. Oh well, just keep Lady Stoneheart out of it A) because she sucks and B) it will piss off a fair segment of book readers that still think she's somehow worthwhile.
