Go to a wiki of fire and ice. They have all the family trees and little bio pages for like every character ever mentioned with family trees on those pages as well. You can spend a lot of time there. Tons of info.

the targ family tree is very confusing on there.

It also hasn't been updated with information from TPATQ because a lot of the characters from that story are missing.

I finished the Princess and the Queen and it was very good. I couldn't figure out how to join that Wiki page thing.

I also saw a book at the library called Hunter's Run by GRRM (and a couple other people) so I picked it up and it was good too. (Very different from ASoIaF though.)

Excerpt from The Winds of Winter:

TYRION
Somewhere off in the far distance, a dying man was screaming for his mother. “To horse!” a man was yelling in Ghiscari, in the next camp to the north of the Second Sons. “To horse! To horse!” High and shrill, his voice carried a long way in the morning air, far beyond his own encampment. Tyrion knew just enough Ghiscari to understand the words, but the fear in his voice would have been plain in any tongue. I know how he feels.

The whole chapter is supposed to be available in March.

I've consumed all the books. George R. R. Martin read snippets of the next release of the series at some convention. From what I've read online of what he read, I'm really excited for The Winds of Winter. I just want my boy tyrion lannister to come out on top.

The writing process is bullshit. I want all of the books now.

GRRM posted a new excerpt from the Winds of Winter today. His site isn't handling the traffic well, but here's a version of the page that google cached. You're welcome.

Hbo go is down. Just like with true detective finale. Saul needs to fix it for them.

Also, this might not be the game of thrones tv thread. Don't care! :(

Is there a GOT tv thread?

HerrSonntag · « **Reply #517 on:** April 07, 2014, 12:50:10 PM »

We've used this thread for the show too, but mainly for snobby comparisons to the books.

ydarg2012 · « **Reply #518 on:** April 07, 2014, 03:55:39 PM »

Book 4 is full of badassery, lots of Dorne and the Iron Islands, the two most badass places in Westeros. You guys are nuts.
