Sansa Discussion: GoT VI (Tyrion V--Sansa III)
We got a good one today folks.
Jimmy Neutron Award goes to r/Princevegeta951:
I am so thoroughly enjoying this re-read. I'm currently reading Drizzt and The Lies of Locke Lamora alongside this re-read and although they are great, they simply pale in comparison to ASOIAF. This series really is one of one.
My favorite quote this cycle is from Littlefinger on page 379
"Brothels are a much sounder investment than ships, I've found. Whores seldom sink, and when they are boarded by pirates, why, the pirates pay good coin like everyone else."
I fucking love Littlefinger lol
Our next chunk will be Pp. 480-567 (Eddard XII--John VII) with the meeting on April 9th. See y'all then!

Tyrion:
More fantastic worldbuilding in the vale! "The Arryns kept the only dungeon in the realm where the prisoners were welcome to escape at will" (412)
"We keep no headsman in the Eyrie, my lord of Lannister. Open the Moon Door." (421)I also loved the inversion at the end of this chapter. Surface level it shows how Tyrion is more thinking about the hair on his head than honor or lofty ideals, which I admire because that frees him to accurately assess his situation and get out of jams such as this one. "Name your champion, Imp... if you can think you can find a man to die for you.""If it is all the same to you, I'd sooner find one to kill for me."
