Which character did you like best in the book?

I quite liked Bran to be honest, underrated character.

Bran gets better trust me.

I don't see why you hate Dany so much, I get the hate for her in the TV series but I thought the book would change your mind! She's such a poor character that you feel sorry for, everything goes wrong for her.

Lady Stark I agree with she's such a horrible character and her moods change with the wind. Plus the fact half the time the bad luck everyone else has is because of something she's done, she's the one that basically started the bloody war!

Sansa I'll agree I never got the hate for her, she's a stupid girl but her heart is in the right place other then when it comes to her sister. But then sister don't always get on especially when they are opposites of each other.

Plus what should we actually put behind spoiler tags and what is alright to say plainly?

Dany isn't boring or fake. She's the underdog, she lost everything that she loves and she's going to reclaim what is rightfully hers. Yes she didn't want it and yes maybe the reasons why she wanted it weren't explained well enough but she was picked on and berated by her brother who told her she was a Princess, and in Targaryan standings that meant she'd be queen (they marry their sisters) and no matter what kind of character her brother was that was how she was raised. She's lost everything and is going to make it for herself and reclaim her families birth right!

She's a kid she's been put in an impossible position. Robb was being trained to fight and what the hell does her Dragons have to do with anything? Robb was always going to be a lord, he was trained to be one so what if he hasn't got the respect of the people behind him he's still their lord. There is nothing underdogish about him!

You really think the Dothraki would have stood a chance against the steel that the Seven Kingdoms have?

You are meant to get behind Dany it is the whole point of her story is you are meant to feel for her and her hardships. Why do you think you don't get a PoV from Robb? Because he isn't important in the long game. 

Dany has never had anything and now all she has is the Dragons and she's going to go and win back what belongs to her. How can you not get behind her?

This I strongly disagree with. Robb is a very important character. He is one of the major characters in the story but we only ever see him through other peoples eyes for a good reason. People easily got behind Robb and his campaign (fan wise) because he was doing the "right" thing. The right thing for the people of the north, the right thing in honor of his family and the right thing as a human being.

Now take Anna's dislike for Bran. 

First off stick with him Anna because he is a lot more interesting then he appears for a lot of the first two books! 

But in my opinion the problem ya have with the boy is that you can't empathize with him. As a (don't be offended please) "broken" person yourself BORN that way like Tyrion you are of the opinion that he needs to "get over" his disability. You get behind Tyrion because he's embraced his difference like you and Pete have but Bran sits in his tower feeling sorry for himself. It is something that you dislike about Harry Potter as well if I remember correctly. 

Of course there needs to be a healing period for Bran, he wants to be a knight and his dream has been dashed. He was a fully healthy boy that loved climbing now he can't even walk. But you dislike him because he sits about feeling sorry for himself even when faced with someone like Tyrion.

Now imagine if we only saw Bran through the eyes of his mother or later on Osha? You'd never have to hear him feeling bad for himself and it might even look like he is "getting over" or "gotten over" his disability. Because we are inside his head though we know he's a petulant child (with good cause to be one)

Robb probably feels the same way in a different manner. He probably didn't want to go to war, he probably hated having his mother around, whispering in his ear, changing her mind, going against his wishes. Robb could have been the most annoying character in the book, but we never had to deal with what went on in his head so he lived as the hero and died as a hero.

I've always looked at it as a direct comparison to Tywin Lannister personally. Neither get a PoV chapter but both have every other member of their family as a PoV character (with the exception of minor Lannisters and Rickon)

Now Tywin is a bad guy, we know this, all Lannisters seem to have a dark side and he is a ******* of the highest degree. Worshiped and hated by his kids in the same breath.
Robb is a good guy, his family respect him and love him and the people follow him because he's brave and stands for honor. 

We get their stories from others but in a way we get a fuller picture of them both as we don't get hung up with the moral dilemma's and personalities that the PoV characters have. They are both VERY important characters, two strong characters and their stories are integral to the whole story. To base their worth on whether they are PoV characters is silly.

It is her throne! That is why she has to fight for it, it rightfully belongs to the Targaryen family! She is the last of her line and needs to win their honor back.

Drogo's death was sad but it wasn't her fault it probably would have happened anyway because Dany believes in the best of people but some scars run too deep. They could have still killed a load of the sheep people and the witch would have still killed Drogo.

Why didn't Robb just bow to the Lannisters? He'd have been able to sit in Winterfell away from fighting then! He chooses to fight against the Lannisters he wasn't forced into it!
