Book II of: A Song of Ice and Fire
Digital reading device: iphone
Where: Q-train
Who was reading: A tall man in baggy business attire. His slacks were so oversized that the crease down the front went in a direction completely independent of the line of his leg.
If he were a character in this series: He’d be Davos “The Onion Knight” Seaworth. Seaworth was a smuggler of food (including onions) who performed a great service for the King. In addition to rewarding him with knighthood, King Stannis ordered several of his finger joints removed as castigation for his criminal past.
If I had a choice... I’d take finger joints over being a knight.
Awesomely Epic Book Description: “From the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns. . . . a princess masquerades as an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel . . . and the coldest hearts. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles."
Word! But what is a "knight of the mind" exactly?
