In the middle ages, these type of people played for keeps and lots of worthy well meaning (and unworthy, ill meaning) people got caught unwillingly in other people's schemes and THAT put an end to their plans and schemes.

I really hope that I don't inadvertently come across any spoilers for ADWD.

They are having to do with George R. R. Martin's penchant for killing off main characters.

I TOLD you! You can never get too comfortable while reading those books!

lolz, indeed. Just one reason why I love GrrM - he is a bit of a sadistic bast&%$ with regards to his characters.

I'm still not sure what an ax to the back of the head means. The chapter closed without saying if it was fatal. It wouldn't be the first time that dead people walked around.

Is this more of a women's series? I mean the show and the books.
