Yea, I think they waited a bit too long to start the real character development of the Hound in the series. And I really do hope he isn't dead, because he did grow on me as well. Thing is with these series, is you dunno who will die and be cut from the story (Robb -- WTF), who'll live, and what they'll do. It's riveting.
Book four did get a bit boring - all they did was focus on King's Landing, Brienne, and that bitch Cersei. The only part of that book I relished was that Jaime was changing and reconsidering what oaths, honor and decency meant to an extent, and Cersei getting stuck in jail where that crazy bitch belongs. I chuckled out loud at work when I was reading the bit on break where Jaime ignored her message crying for help. That was the clincher that Jaime was really different.
I hope book five is better - I really liked to hear of that moron Daenerys being a moron, Jon Snow commanding the Wall (I was riveted to the book through the parts of book three where he was defending it against the Wildlings -- I think Snow is destined for very great things in the future and I don't feel like he'll be killed off anytime soon -- just a hunch!), where the hell is Bran going, and who Coldhands was, etc. BTW, I think Coldhands might be Benjen Stark -- remember how he disappeared on a ranging North of the Wall? Coldhands was dressed in the Night's Watch blacks, and I don't think Martin will leave his story unfinished in the books. The last bit of book four discussed that book four was centered around King's Landing and that area of Westeros, whereas book five is all about The Wall, The Dragons, Bran, Arrya, and such.
The "Ironmen" are stupid.
