>>10920Except, it's one of the most poignant and meaningful lines in the series. I don't even like Catelyn and removing it would would be like castrating the Red Wedding.
>>10932Eh. Storm is his best. Martin fucked up badly with Feast and Dance. Both have way too much filler; I'm not joking when I say he could have easily cut 500 pages out from both books. Half of the Brienne and Martell chapters from Feast are filler, for example. Jaime gets a ton of character development in Feast, and Cersei gets her first POV chapters.
Dany as a character was just butchered by Dance, too.
But if you want to understand the series, you'll pretty much have to read them.
