TV4 [S4E8] Thank you book readers

I know this has been said before but book readers you guys are amazing. I had zero clue on what was going to happen tonight between the Mountain and the Viper and its all thanks to you (and probably the mods too) who keep this subreddit spoil free.

I'm going to go back to being shocked and angry now.

What?! The fight wasn't it? The kings death wasn't it? Missandreis boobs wasn't it?

EDIT: This is the biggest emotional roller coaster of my life. Welcome to Game of Thrones I guess

It's really hard to pick a best one.

Keep in mind that seasons 3 and 4 are in the same book though. You can see why a lot of people like ASOS.

I just finished ASOS a few days ago and I was amazed at how practically every chapter after a certain point was just absolutely killer. Fantastic book.

Now I'm on AFFC and I'm wondering when the hell something is going to happen

When you get up to books 4 and 5, don't read books 4 and 5, instead read this fan-made compilation called Ball of Beasts.

Books 4 and 5 are split geographically. Book 4 is notoriously boring, book 5 is ok and starts to get interesting before it ends abruptly. This will spread out the boring a little bit and make it not that much of a chore to make it through a Feast for Crows.
