FUCK david benioff for writing this sad-ass book that made me bawl my eyes out.

last minute plot twist causing major character death

is a SHITTY trope. overall, the writing and the story were great. i genuinely loved it, but i'll never read it again. too tragic, too homoerotic (queer bait), too good to live again.
