I’ve been killing characters my entire career, maybe I’m just a bloody minded bastard, I don’t know, [but] when my characters are in danger, I want you to be afraid to turn the page (and to do that) you need to show right from the beginning that you’re playing for keeps.

I hope in the near future, I can turn the page to find out someone has taken Prince Viserys Taragaryens, head off. (I don’t like him)
I went halvsies on a hardback copy of the latest book with my brother, but then I moved twice in rapid succession AND he’s a slow reader. So now I need to reread all of the books… but they are somewhere in my mother’s basement: that is, a 5.5 hour drive away.
