(Neither of the ones posted here are spoilery, but the post on WiC is.)
One of my favorite families in the book is finally showing up, the Martells. They're a strange people in charge of a even stranger land. There's a touch of the American south in Dorne: the remoteness, strange customs, isolation, and even a touch of the gothic. They, like the North, have long memories of how time and time again the Irone Throne have pricked and cut them. Like the Starks, others have bought their power with their blood. They have been dishonnored in many ways. I have the sense that they'll be a tanner, more lascivious, and (frankly) smarter version of the Starks to give the Lannisters some needed trouble.
