Yeah, that's why I'm re-reading it...I forgot a lot of the minor characters in the last two-three books, as I read them all back-to-back.

I had to look the character up because I confused her with like 2 other characters.

Sweaty, laboring over a keyboard, trying to squeeze in every eloquent food description he can muster. The thought of a glazed duck, with lemoncakes and side dishes slickens his palms with eagerness, as he must recede to the kitchen as he can no longer focus on FINISHING THE BOOK.

One thing that drives me nuts is every "group scene" involves detailed description of each banner or shield...3 acorns on a green field, the flayed man, unicorn on a rainbow flag, lion on a maroon field, ... every time.

Or Stone, Rivers, Hill, Waters, Storm, Flowers, or Sand, which are the "bastard names" for the Vale, Riverlands, Westerlands, Crownlands, Stormlands, Reach, and Dorne, respectively.

I think he did this to show how bad things get later. The extravagance dwindles as the war lingers.
