I'd also have to credit George RR Martin with coming up with one of the most epic, and subtly hinted at, storys for a character. I'm waiting with bated breath for the reveal now.


Definitely, I remember not being able to lift my jaw for quite some time after I read about those things.

Huh, I thought you were talking about the series, with all the graphic depiction of people having sex who, according to the novels, are fairly young...

Didn't bother me, though. The whole age-span of things is shifted a little to the younger end, as the novels are set in a sort-of medieval theme, where people just died early, and thus got married earlier, and all that. After all, a 16-year-old is a king in this novel, and thats quite young, if you ask me. I wasn't crowned the king of lizards until I was 22...
