Okay. Now I’m definitely going to check the books out. You folks have convinced me.

I have one question though. Is it likely to make me cry?

From Publisher’s Weekly:

No one is given an unrealistic string of luck, however, so misfortune, injury, and death (and even false death) can befall any character, major or minor, no matter how attached the reader has become. Martin has described his penchant for killing off important characters as being necessary for the story’s depth: “…when my characters are in danger, I want you to be afraid to turn the page, (so) you need to show right from the beginning that you’re playing for keeps.”
