So we have a GoT thread, why not SoFaI thread?!
How much have people read? How much are they enjoying it?
Currently working my way through book 5!

I looked through the first few threads here to see if there was one, I was clearly not diligent enough
I am looking forward to finishing this book so I can begin to theorize on the next, but am not looking forward to the wait for book 6

Author tends to recycle motifs, but he's doing so in an interesting way.

nearly all authors of many books recycle some concepts, though they (at least the good ones) do so in new and original ways. Authors often tend to reuse certain character types in different series.

You might want to edit the topic name - It is "A Song of Ice and Fire"

[spoiler]Until I get confirmation of his actual demise, I consider him alive and a clear albeit near-insignificant danger. I have seen people stabbed and live before.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Duke and I have discussed Jon Snow at length. We've decided he is either going to survive it naturally or Melisindre is going to revive him using the kiss of fire.
Varys and Littlefinger.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I really hope he doesn't get the kiss of life. there is/was too much of that already and it will ruin Jon's character.
Also, loved Vary's little bit in the Epilogue

[spoiler]Jon snow is an interesting character.
It'll be interesting to learn exactly who his parents are...
is it ned start & some unknown woman, or is it perhaps the common theory of Lyanna Stark & Rhaegar Targaryen? Only GRRM through Howland Reed knows...
We believe that Jon Snow will survive, not sure how, but we doubt he's been killed. at least not permanently. besides, in some societies, it is polite to stab someone... right?
No surprise in you liking them, Semper... You always did like to have fingers affecting things in the strangest of games...
We rather like Arya, possibly because she's got no qualms about murder, but also because she does not live up to stereotypes... Religions based around assassination are also fun...[/spoiler]
