The Greyjoys are another case where there’s something for everybody. you’ve got: 1) mean dad, 2) ghost mom (not yet dead), 3) an evil serial killer wizard pirate who takes evil wizard acid and should BY RIGHTS!! have an evil wizard electric guitar that shoots lightning or something but unfortunately there are no electric guitars in this book so he’s made do with an evil horn that kills you when you play it, 4) a meathead jock with exactly two brain cells ricocheting around his skull and every time they touch he gets cognitive dissonance so bad he kills someone, 5) former party guy NBA center, current stick-up-his-ass John the Baptist impersonator, pirate edition! 6) the ghosts of many brothers, 7) the coolest woman on earth is forced to grapple with misogyny YET AGAIN, and 8) the annoying tenor from your university choir that always shows off his watch and his shoes and asks rage-bait questions in your econ class and who got kidnapped by your econ professor’s psycho son two weeks ago but no one has asked after him yet because you’re all just kind of relieved at the thought that he’s dropped out.
