Gave it a look. It's decent enough so far, with good character interaction in the Sandor/Arya subplot, but I dislike how the author flipped which of the Blackwood/Bracken rivals flipped for the Lannisters, or how socially perceptive Catelyn was despite her canon... blind spots. Bit confused as...
Good to see him getting a lethal dose of justice, but that (pt. 1) in the chapter title, coupled with the actual chapter title, tells me that the fallout of Arthur's demise won't be as straightforward as the kill itself.
I think your assumption that Tywin would exercise restraint when he has an opportunity to exact revenge for perceived slights shows a poor understanding of his character, as well as the situation on the ground. First, Tywin's decisions and desires didn't impact Aerys getting run through by Jaime...
You had a good setup for a cautionary tale about the tragedy of revenge cycles, but in forsaking a narrative focused on characters that would compel reader interest in favor of focusing on the political climate and the strategic picture it became less emotionally engaging than my average visit...
Two of those three were Targaryen loyalists in the last war, and they all know that there's at least one in Essos. If talk goes toward overtures toward Daenerys, Varys will whip out Faegon, and suddenly Mace and Doran will be racing to see who can throw the Lannisters under the bus faster.
I'm saying that the Dornish position is irrelevant, because their succession laws don't hold sway outside Dorne. Since the Iron Throne is outside Dorne, Myrcella doesn't have any legal grounds to be crowned.
In short, if Tommen dies without issue, any Lannister claim to the Iron Throne dies...
If Cersei made an attempt on Margaery's life, that forgiveness would come at a cost, and Mace and Olenna would apply that leverage to get concessions out of the Lannisters. Additionally, they'd probably shoot for a match that doesn't involve allowing Myrcella's Dornish holders in Highgarden to...
The grand sum value of 18 woman at 2k each, 10 technicians at 1k each, and 3k worth of children is 49k... he sold 32 people into slavery to save his precious Blackjack a Medium Laser and a little under a metric ton of armor.
How much damage can the drives on your Dropships deal, or their weapons?
Quellon, not Balon. The specific goal depends on the opportunities available. Chaos is a ladder, after all, and Petyr Baelish wouldn't be the first to climb it.
Oh, you misread it. The Ironborn plan is as follows:
1. Gather the Iron Fleet. At the same time, send a message to Tywin telling him "We're attacking the Reach. You got a problem with that?"
2a. If Tywin doesn't express a problem with that, the Iron Fleet sacks the Reach, giving the royalists a...
The Grey Joy
Early in Robert's Rebellion
Late in coming to the dining hall, Harlon could hear the sound of his half-brothers arguing with their father before he had even seen any of them. News must have arrived about the state of the war, then. Bracing himself for the shouting match, Harlon...
I was using a simile.
I didn't like it because it was slow at the beginning, and didn't stop being slow. It became a pattern, and that pattern told me that if anything changed to make it worth reading, it'd be too little, too late.
