A Song of Ice and Fire
"too much for 1 book, but not enough for 2"
So much for the adage that a story is exactly as long as it needs to be!
Urgh! No! Sansa needs to go the way of Robb, she's just a big wilting violet. Unless Baelish manages to do something with her. However, if that involves chucking her through the Moon hole (or whatever it's called), I'll cheer.
From what I hear, the events of Feast and the first half of Dance were originally intended to be skipped over entirely, but GRRM couldn't figure out how to easily fill in the actual events afterward, so he decided to write them. It makes sense that they would be a little slow, given how crazy Storm was. I think it ends up being worth it with (Book 4 and 5 spoilers) Cersei's comeuppance
I feel sorry for Sansa and I've developed a certain attachment to her because of that.
Basically, she's this sweet, innocent little girl who has dreamed her entire life of being a princess and marrying a noble knight. And she's learned the hard way that being a princess sucks and most of the knights are jackasses. (And one of the few decent ones is gay, though she doesn't know that...) My idea is that she's eventually going to be hardened and end up like her mother -- strong but still feminine.
