Pretty handy chart. It's set up to reflect everything from episode one of the series. No spoilers, either. (For instance, it doesn't note Lady the direwolf is dead.)
EDIT: Oops. Unless you consider the name of Jon Snow's mother a spoiler, then don't click.

Reposted on: 11.5.18 1353.10 | From what I've heard of these books, there's no need to even have a relationship guide because every character is connected through rape, whether being the victim or the attacker.
Which is why I'm never gonna read these things. Also because everyone who has read them has had the worst bouts of cynicism and depression afterwards. | lotjx

You are not wrong. And yes, I love being part of a secret society like this until they change something huge just destroy the society. | John Orquiola

One thing I am really enjoying about this story (books and show) is that everyone has problems. Even the villains. Take Lord of the Rings - the bad guys are one dimensional. Sauron is an evil eye. The orcs are evil, act evil, do evil, and that's it. No dimensions.
Take the Lannisters (is it spoiling anything to say they're assholes?). Even they have problems. Big problems. The Starks have problems. The Night Watch have problems. The Dothraki have problems. Nothing is easy or straightforward.
If Sauron were in the Game of Thrones universe, he'd be stressing out about conflicts between his orcs and the Uruk-hai, whether or not he can trust all of his allies from the south, and how they hell he's going to pay for all that oliphant food. And Minis Tirith? How the hell is he supposed to take that? Have you seen the walls on that place?
By the way, I enjoy the irony of BoromirMark scoffing at reading Game of Thrones.

Hey, thanks for adding your thoughts on books you never intend to read!
EVERYONE who has ever read them had the worsts bouts of cynicism and depression? I must have forgotten that happening to me.
