This is going to be delicate, because we've got people who are now reading, who are waiting for the book, who are waiting for the paperback, who are reading slower than others, who are reading faster than others, what have you. I think we MIGHT be able to do a general impressions thread without explicit spoilers. I hope.

Anyway, Dany's kind of boring sitting in one place. I hope she starts to move soon.

I just got to the first big shocker revelation (on the Rhoyne). Whoa...there was some speculation about this on the various ASoIaF message boards, but it wasn't as popular a theory as Jon's parentage (and I may just be slow, but I got NO inkling from the previous Rhoyne chapter(s)).

I'm trying to space my reading out so the book lasts more than a couple of days...
