Oliver Howard
Somehow Martin made a history textbook engaging and thought-provoking. The Targaryen dynasty is tragic to the point of unbelievability at times, but I guess that fits with the themes that Martin presents and works well within the world of Ice and Fire. The only reason this didn't get 5 stars was because of the inconsistent pacing at times. The Dance of the Dragons was by far the most interesting part of the book, but it left the aftermath feeling a little lackluster.
