I made a Deryni meme and wanted to share it.

George Martin was quoted in a feature I read on him a while back making a point of how unusually unsentimental he was in killing off his good characters. He obviously never read Camber the Heretic, the Harrowing of Gwynedd, King Javan's Year etc. etc. etc.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
(Psalm 46 v1)

Maybe by "unsentimental" he means he killed them off without shedding a single tear.  KK, on the other hand, has said that she feels the pain when she does in our favorite characters, and that it's really hard to kill them off, although she does so nonetheless.  (My personal theory, just speaking from my own writing experience, is that actually personally experiencing the feelings of pain, joy, or amusement that one hopes to evoke in the readers of a scene means you're probably on the right track in writing it, so I'm not at all sure I'd want to be an unsentimental writer in the first place, if that is what GRRM means by the word.)

And the numbers will climb when (notice my optimism) we get the 948 novel!

I have waited for 948 (and that should be the title) for 40 years.. I have given up. What were her last comments about it?

As with the Death of Rhys, which has caused me to read no more Camber stories, the Death of the major character in GOT, one who should have been that world's one of three last survivors, has brought me to the decision that I will watch that show NO MORE! I don't like it when authors destroy a reader's trust for no good reason other than shock factor.

Anent GOT, consider who came to Castle Black just as the event in question happened, and consider what members of her priestly fraternity can sometimes do.  And consider the terms of a certain oath.
