"Who's your favorite character?" is a question that I'd answer differently as I journeyed across George R. R. Martin's epic Song of Ice and Fire. Or at least, the books that are finished.
A Game of Thrones: Arya Stark. She's ten pounds of awesome in a five-pound bag.
A Clash of Kings: Tyrion Lannister, the only character who accomplished anything in that book.
A Storm of Swords: Daenerys Targaryen. Even though the high point of her story was fairly early on in that book (Astapor), she was still pretty awesome throughout.
A Feast For Crows: Jaime Lannister. Epic character arc in the last book, awesome speech to Edmure at the end of this one.
A Dance With Dragons: Still Jaime Lannister. Because Tyrion accomplished squat, Dany went off the rails, and Arya's plot is on an excruciatingly slow burn.
