Comments

I admit that my original comment was a little rude and I do apologise.
Apology accepted :)

s for my definition of 'strong' characters, I suppose that we all have different expectations from our literature and GRRM just failed to measure up to my standards. But then again, my expectations may have just been a little too high when I started reading. I'd probably have enjoyed the book if I had discovered it before all the hype.

Oh, I totally no what you mean about that -- as I said, that's basically how I felt after reading GoT (not just about female characters, even. I was like "well, that was kind of cool, but WHY does everyone love this so much."). I don't think your standards are too high at all, I just think the books get more interesting later.

I'm glad you hear you're planning to read more when you can! I actually had the same kind of thought at the end of GoT -- I took about a two week break between reading GoT and reading ACOK because I knew I was going to see a a friend who could lend ACOK to me, and didn't feel like paying for it. However, by the time I got around to book three, I bought it, because there was no way I was waiting even a day for more :)

Yes, I agree that everything I said above extends to all the characters, not just the female ones. The reason I focused on the women is because GRRM seems to be getting pats on the back all over the place for writing these 'awesome' female characters (and they were the point of the secret in question), so I came to the novel expecting just that and ended up disappointed. I mean, yes, it is nice to have women integral to a story in a way more meaningful than a plot device for two men to fight over, but these characters were nothing groundbreaking, or something that hasn't already been written many times over (at least not as far as the first book was concerned).

In any case, you have all convinced me that the series does get better and that I should definitely continue reading, so thanks! ^__^
