-In the first chapter in this section were are in the POV of Dany. When her brother, Viserys comes to her, Dany for the first time sticks up for herself and pushes him a way. I think this is a good thing for Dany has she is becoming a strong, independent (from her brother at least) women...even though she is only fourteen. This also was a scene where Viserys was sort of put in his place. In Bran's chapter, Tyrion comes to visit and presents Bran with a picture of how he could learn to ride a horse again. Bran for once receives good news and feels joyed as he has not felt that way in a while. I am a tad bit confused here, as everyone now thinks Tyrion tried to kill Bran, yet Tyrion is the one helping Bran recover? Strange. This is a chapter where we once again feel as if Tyrion is a decent guy. Jon makes a new friend in his chapter. Jon connects quickly with Sam as they are both 'outcasts' in their own way. I think Sam will be a character that pops up again! I like him:) In Ned's chapter we are introduced to yet another character, his name is Gendry. We get the idea that Gendry is Robert's bastard child but he is still very mysterious to me.This chapter got very interesting to me. As to why does Gendry have anything to do with Jon, or Ned for that matter? It's kind of a shot in the woods in my opinion as to relation to Jon's death. If Gendry is related to Robert, and Jon was looking for Gendry, then Robert killed Jon? That's all I can seem to put together at this point. Catelyn comes into play here when she takes Tyrion somewhat hostage. They are heading to Eyrie when Tyrion "promises" that he was not the one to assassin Bran, and that he never would go against his family, calling Petyr a liar. Later we learn that the queen had a plan to kill the king. Which was very odd, and it seemed to spark Ned's interest. It is confirmed that Jon was poisoned by a so called "friend" but was directed to do so by Cersei. It is not evident that Cersei is an angry person, and is out to kill everyone. First Jon now her husband...they must be connected some how! One interesting thing that was included here was the person that poisoned Jon was the same man who was killed in the tournament. Again, another odd coincidence here.
-Ned now thinks that Jon's death and Bran's attempted assassination are related, there for not only is Catelyn looking for answers, so is Ned. Obviously this is still the main question and problem in the book right now. In this section we also meet a lot of new and interesting characters that I think are going to come into play throughout the rest of the book. The main characters also seem to be coming of of their shell, in that the reader is able to figure out who they really are and what is going through their head.
-I seem to get lost throughout the sections of the fighting and tournaments as they name literally everyone around and I get confused very quickly.
-We learned that Jon was poisoned for "asking too many questions" and it seems Ned is asking WAY to many questions...Does this mean anything for Ned? Is Ned trying to hard? Is he in the right position to be going about asking questions about Jon's death?
