- Euron has his gift, and the first big shot of the new war is fired, but an experienced fleet gets completely blindsided in the night with no warning, and Euron sails right up to the command boat unopposed?
- Jorah finds his cure (presumably), but it takes Sam just a few hours search to discover the cure, and (again presumably) pulls it off despite it being too dangerous for even the most senior maesters to attempt?
I really hope the need to speed up the plot doesn't cause a big drop in the quality of the story that has existed thus far. |
The thing that annoyed me was that while I agree that the sea battle with Euron was probably a bit restricted due to budgetary issues, it wasn't very well written. I'm assuming each fleet has hundreds of ships and you're telling me they managed to literally smash into each other without any kind of warning?
The scene with Sam and Jorah was great, but I think anyone could have written that better. Strange way of presenting it.
