Brienne's chapters in AFFC and Reek's chapters in ADWD are clearly the ones with the most literary worth. No, they're not paced well relative to the rest of the series, but it's very clear that they display Martin's best writing.

I liked Brienne's chapters

Cersei chapters are the worst by far. Brienne at least gets to meet some interesting people.

>>6673069
Reek chapters are awesome. Martin should have collected them into a novella, like he did for the Daenerys chapters in Game. I'm sure it could have won some kind of award.

I agree. He did that for the Dany chapters in Storm too, as well as the Ironborn chapters in AFFC.

I think the reason he didn't do it for ADWD is that Reek's chapters intertwined too much with Asha's and Bran's? Not sure.

I kind of like the tone of the art. It's much more formal and courtly than what the HBO show presents.

Have you ever read an ASOIAF book? It's really not that sort of fantasy.

>> No.6675219

>>6672938
Brienne and Jaime probably have the most patrician chapters of the series. Unless you're some kind of illiterate child, you should realize how well-written they are, especially compared to the more action-filled chapters.

>> No.6675227

the /lit/ hivemind generally hates all fantasy

ASOIAF is particularly reviled because many authors consider it to be the closest to big-L Literature.

>> No.6675499

Are you fucking kidding me? Brienne chapters were the best after Tyrion and Jamie's. And the worst, in my opinion, were Daenerys and Greyjoys (Victarion, Theon, you name it).

I think the DwD Davos chapters are some of the best. The North Remembers, Lord Davos.
