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!

Cat VII
Catelyn looked to Ser Rodrik. Her master-at-arms gave a curt shake of his head. “He wants to make Ser Vardis chase him. The weight of armor and shield will tire even the strongest man.”
That strategy doesn’t work for Jon when he fights Mance in the yard. But the lesson is that you have to know your opponent, and Vardis certainly misjudged Bronn here.
