Unfortunately I did not warm into GoT literature. Read up to third book and then gave up. I was in final years of my university studies which involved tons of reading themselves and I did not have the capacity to push myself through another "reading" that had not seized my imagination even after long trial. But...the jury is still out and I'll give it another shot once the saga is complete.

I found Jons and Brans storyline the most interesting (I like north/winter/cold/snow/wolves etc) and I still believe that whitewalkers are the ones to beat (might be wrong). Tyrion is my favourite character (though its mainly thanks to Peter Dinklage and his outstanding acting - "Emmy" commitee obviously concurs :).

Battle of Brenna depiction is a masterpiece and a perfect screenplay for one episode/part of the Witcher movie. No doubts about that.

I'm aware of slavic customs to some extent. It makes sense that Sapkowski used slavic culture as a template for his Witcher world. Thats why its so close to me with its approach to humor and overall approach to reality (Northern Kingdoms). Nilfgaard, the elves, dwarves and to some extend even "far north" (Kovir/Poviss/Hengfors) + of course Zerrikania/Hakland represent different cultures with different cultural heritage. I really dig that Sapkowski popularized a "slavic soul" to the rest of the world. Kudos to Andrzej.

Your guess is only logical :) But no :P

I will think about Fitz - Oesterlen but one name popping out of the top of my head would be Kevin Spacey (his Frank Underwood from House of Cards kind of personifies a perfect diplomat with his own perfectly weighted and designed way to remain on top...)
