I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I think Jamie is not The Valonqar. That's my official prediction.

Diving into a Clash of Kings, finally, after finishing A Game of Thrones three or four years ago. Probably nothing for me in this thread for quite a while. Patchface annoys me. That's my only take from Clash so far.

It's my only take because I just finished the prologue. It takes me very long to read even a page in this series because I'm addicted to looking at appendices, wikis and fan art when I encounter a character or place.

I hope you grow to love Patchface more as the book goes on. I am a big fan of him due to the Moby-Dick allusions in Stannis's story.

I do that when I read Dan Brown books.

There's more of him? Ugh.

Just kidding. He's accomplishing what he's meant to accomplish so far, I think. He reminds me how lonely and cold Dragonstone is.

Someone somewhere suggested that fAegon is who Dany has to face at Kings Landing and I like that for explaining the presence of the Golden Company in show Westeros

I have seen suggested that "Harry Strickland" in show-universe is fAegon, but it is far, far too late to introduce that plot, I think.

So you don't think fAegon will be holding Kings Landing by the time Dany lands?

Compared to the show two things stuck out to me from the book: One, you have a much better sense of Catelyn's resentment of Jon Snow. Two, you get A LOT more out of the visions Bran has in his dreams.
I'm looking forward to getting a lot more out of the Iron Islands in ACOK. Same with Stannis. It's nice having these books after watching the series. It's like a director's cut on steroids.
