For me, it has to be daenerys targaryen, the mother of dragons!!! But having said that, I'm only rooting for her because of the actress that plays her in the TV shows So pretty! haha. It's a shame she doesn't feature in book 4…well not yet anyways.

You will not find a single Elf, Goblin, or Orc, but you will find plenty of battles, humour that could only come from comrades upto their eyeballs in bhedren dung but willing to instantly give their lives to their friends.
I'm on my second reading and it's on my 'wish i never read it before', just so i can discover it again

A lot of other people have also told me to check those books out. Will defo when I finish book 4 of ASOIF
