And Renly is getting more development on his relationship with Loras, which establishes his claim to the throne (with swords, if not by right)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-85936737585487622282011-05-26T00:33:44.509-04:002011-05-26T00:33:44.509-04:00None of his gayness is relevant to the first book,...None of his gayness is relevant to the first book, though (at least, not directly; we learn that it's relevant later). That's my problem. His homosexuality is not actually relevant right now. It won't be until Clash of Kings.<br /><br />I didn't buy his temper tantrums. That's my problem with the kid.

Obnoxious and prone to temper tantrums.<br /><br />CrocAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
