| Is there gold in the village? by ~Tribemun, via deviantART |
I love this illustration so hard. There's something vaguely Tarantino about it, makes me think of the Kill Bill animated sequences. And it makes me all the more angry that the writers of the show have robbed us of this unbelievably satisfying moment, so I can't even say something like "I can't wait to see it for real!" >:(
GRRRRRRRR.
This is one of my favorite chapters in the series. The visceral nature of this revenge is so much more satisfying than the poisoning of Joffrey that in my mind, the two can barely even be compared. FUCK YEAH ARYA STAB THAT MOTHAFUCKAH.
Ahem.
Okay so then Sandor is abandoned under a tree because let's face it, homie's done some pretty shameful things, and Arya DID give saving him a pretty good try. She gets swindled out of a fair price on Craven because he's obviously too good a horse for her to come about fairly, and then manages to get a cabin on board a ship heading to Braavos.
The book is winding down.
Valar Morghulis!
One of my favorite chapters in the entire series, and my favorite death. Feels good, everything about it screams awesome.
ReplyDeleteAGREED!
DeleteHmm, horse jerky. Makes me glad to be a veggie.
ReplyDeleteI hope the show can salvage some of this awesome scene, perhaps with Polliver as the primary recipient of Arya's vengeance.
Holy crap, guys. See what happens when you get out of practice?
ReplyDeleteKidding, kidding. I was so excited to see a new episode!
I hope they find some way to keep Arya losing her shit and stabbing someone to death in the show. They have really cut back on her murdering, and I think it's a loss for the character. She's supposed to be a bit feral, and they aren't giving me what I want...but yay! Braavos!
ReplyDeletePoor Sandor, though if he had yelled those things at me and I were Arya, I probably would have ensured he had a slow painful death, not mercy.
I can't wait for the next few chapters! It's amazing how many awesome things Martin stuffs into the end of this book. There are at least four things I can't wait to hear you discuss!
