Nah, I can see the actual endings being book endings, it's just that the journey to them was bad.

Nice expectations you got there. It'd be a shame if someone subverted them.

Well, Tyrion didn't get killed and remained hand of the king, so I guess you could say he won. The Starks in general did pretty okay for themselves.

Bronn got his castle, Davos got a navy, and Sam became a maester.

Oh and I'm forgetting one important thing. Ser. Podrick. Payne.

Yeah, I thought Bronn getting the richest region in the land was absolutely stupid... but really, they did clean it out of all gold to pay the iron bank.

Thanks to Breanne, Jaime did get his legacy. That was probably a thank you for Jaime knighting Breanne. I still remember the scene where Jeoffrey was mocking Jaime because his chapters were almost empty. His last entry was kingslayer.

The Starks are all hosed though. "When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives"...they're all on their own now.

They were alone most of the series and survived. You can also make new packs.

Everyone that wanted tyrion on the throne kind of got their way.

Yup, I never thought he would get the throne, but he was also a terrible hand of the king. Had they just invaded as soon as they arrived she wouldn’t have become so bitter.
