These thoughts also sparked, and the reason I quoted Boaz, the idea that the Hound could be the new POV. I do not believe he was a POV character from before.
That's two for two John Snow. I also never thought about it that way. Well, happy reading and let us know if something revealing hits you in the face. A Sandor POV would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Re: Brienna's "Last" word

A Sandor POV would definitely be cool. Only... do you think it would be full of mushy thoughts about Sansa?

Re: Brienna's "Last" word

Brienne could have shouted out "Gendry". Possibly "Bastard" but I'm not sure if he was present.

Re: Brienna's "Last" word

I think Sandor's POV would look something like this...

Sandor

The rain beat incessantly against the roof.

Three (expletive) days! I'm (expletive) stuck in this (expletive) with these (expletive)(expletive).

The five by ten foot shack was filled by Sandor, the priests Willert and Henly, a woman, and her two children. It was the only semi-dry shelter they could find.

On my way to (expletive) try and do some (expletive) justice and I get caught in the worst (expletive) storm in a hundred years. That (expletive) hedgeknight better be right or I'll (expletive) cut out his (expletive) tongue for lying.

Forced to be a (expletive) and walk in the (expletive) rain like a peasant.

What if Sansa was not (expletive) there? Someone will (expletive) know I was (expletive) looking for her. My (expletive) appearance is too noticeable. I'll never get a better chance... a chance to rescue her... a chance to do good... a chance to prove my honor... a chance to save my soul. (expletive)! (expletive) rain!

He came back to the present when the woman started to softly hum to her children. Sandor roared a curse and stomped out into the storm.

The tune was one he never forgot. Sansa had sung it to him.

(expletive), double (expletive), and more (expletive)!

Re: Brienna's "Last" word

Brienne is given a choice by Catelyn - "rope" or "sword"
if her x'ter is to continue, the word has to do with the sword.

I assume it's a really obscure/retarded way of saying character. I could be wrong tho.

Re: Brienna's "Last" word

You should wait until someone has at least ten posts before you categorize them as "obscure/retarded". Don't want to scare him/her off! By the way, spelling "though" as "tho" is not obscure, but is retarded.

Re: Brienna's "Last" word

The word has to be sword.

Un-Cat gave her a choice, sword or rope and rope just leads to death.

I think this is awesome, the first sign of depth in Brienne. I've suddenly got some hope for her character.

"Sword," she screams and Un-Cat raises her hand stopping the execution.

Then the inevitable oath that leads her back to Jaime. Will she or won't she fight Jaime. Now that's some fine storytelling in my opinion. I love GRRM.
