I feel so sad for her in the book, and I didn't really in the show at all. But I disagree about Viserys. I think he raised Dany for the sole purpose of being a pawn in his quest to gain the throne. He knew he'd be able to use her one day to bargain with some lord or other somewhere who would join forces with him in his cause. His physical and emotional abuse of Dany is unforgivable. I cheered just as much in the book when he got his golden crown as I did during that great scene on the show. Have to run away to read now...Brooke Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-79965068809832530872013-12-13T09:17:09.287-05:002013-12-13T09:17:09.287-05:00I always enjoy reading these.

The Reach's royal family, the Gardeners, were killed fighting the Targaryens. The Gardeners' stewards at Highgarden, the Tyrells, replaced them as lords (but not kings) over the Reach.Jeremynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-90389271345271130072013-12-11T21:54:45.287-05:002013-12-11T21:54:45.287-05:00Another great recap!

After reading this section I couldn't stop myself and I raced through to the end of the book.<br /><br />I totally agree regarding Sansa, in the TV show I had no sympathy for her, but in the books I can see more clearly how she was manipulated, especially since she's younger than the actress in the show.

The series has her so much more whiny and petulant, but you see in the books that she really is an innocent, just trying to do what she was literally raised to do.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771368487777590397noreply@blogger.com
