A Song of Fire and Ice - DOOM

[jetpack_monkey]

So I just read the following bit in A Storm of Swords:

(Catelyn and Robb are at Walder Frey's castle to make amends for Robb's broken word and everything is super tense)

"Catelyn tasted the wine and nibbled at some bread, and felt much the better for it. Now we should be safe, she thought."

Bear in mind that I've never read the books before, but I was already feeling uncomfortable with where this particular plot thread was going. Now my brain is screaming "OH GOD OH GOD YOU'RE ALL DOOMED NOW I WILL CRY FOR YOU."
 

Edited to add: Yup. I was right. I hate being right.

Yeah. I knew GRRM liked to bring the pain, but he was so good at saying, "Oh hey, you know that pain I bring? There's some more coming up. Can't say what exactly, but you know, look forward. It will involve these characters you like. And you know it's coming because I have written complete, three-dimensional characters and one of them is acting against what you know of him AND if someone were to fuck over these characters royally (as you know I will) this would be the best set-up for it."

GRRM likes to make us suffer. He does.
