GRRM did AFFC so good actually. Flipped the male-centric series on its head with majorly female PoVs and then started the book with our resident paranoiapilled Cersei Lannister convinced that her killer is hiding in the walls of the Red Keep. He introduced the first true knight of the series, keeping an oath to a dead woman. No chance, no choice. Asha fighting centuries of patriarchy to fight for her throne. “Balon let her believe she was a man.” “Your father made the same mistake with you.” Sansa and the whole Vale arc? Arya’s Cat of the Canals arc?? Hello? We have been served female characters on a platter here and I for one am eating. it. up. He truly snapped here tbh.

"I remember a man throwing me in the air when I was very little. He stands as tall as the sky, and he throws me up so high it feels as though I'm flying. We're both laughing, laughing so much that I can hardly catch a breath, and finally I laugh so hard I wet myself, but that only makes him laugh the louder. I was never afraid when he was throwing me. I knew that he would always be there to catch me. Then one day he wasn't. Men come and go. They lie, or die, or leave you. A mountain is not a man, though, and a stone is a mountain's daughter. I trust my father, and I trust my mules. I won't fall."

I love this passage for a lot of reasons but I love the play on "a stone is a mountain's daughter" here because she's not just explaining why she wasn't afraid when she slipped, or even why she cares little for the opinions of others on whether she's a "proper" lady or not; instead, she's warning Alayne, warning a fellow daughter of the mountain that men are not to be trusted.

She's saying to Alayne, look at what has become of me. Your father is kind now but he will leave when he's bored of playing house or he will die without bothering to set up care for you, and then you will have no one to make sure you are safe. She is saying my Sister Stone, you must keep yourself safe because Petyr Baelish will not, anymore than Sweetrobin or Harry the Heir will. You have to have a skill that will keep you safe, and courage, or you will never make it as a bastard girl in the real world.

— “She awoke all at once, every nerve atingle. For a moment she did not remember where she was. She had dreamt that she was little, still sharing a bedchamber with her sister Arya. But it was her maid she heard tossing in sleep, not her sister, and this was not Winterfell, but the Eyrie. And I am Alayne Stone, a bastard girl.” / A Storm of Swords — Sansa VII
