While on reddit discussing Victarion in a post by u/RockyRockington the other day, I started talking to u/rachelseacow about this topic. She said to make it into a post, so here it is: A Pattern of POV’s Who Mistrust an Adversary but Don’t Act Accordingly, only to Pay the Price for Inaction GRRM is using […]
