Kamil | 372 comments I noticed this great author has a big flaw which is inchoerency. He makes a clean difference between two theremes (for example warg and wolf) but at times he uses them as if they were synonims . Other times he makes characters do or say things oposite to things written few pages before, whithout giving a proper reason for this mutation and I' m talking about characters like Tyrion or MY beloved Daenerys ( she took the 1st place on my "fictional three" list) characters that should be more stable. I apologise for even the slightiest spoiler in this post

Can you give an example.
Martin has copped to some of Tyrion's behaviour in Game of Thrones (I think the example was some acrobatic tumbling off his horse) it being at odds with his later characterisation. I tend to shrug stuff like that off.

what i'm saying is that on the same page they say two different things whithout any external or internal factor being changed. For example Jon snow says that even a men of honor should be carefull about his duties, but 3 pages later, he says what he, as a commander, is supposed to do while talking to the same person
