Stannis

“Robert could piss in a cup and men would call it wine, but I offer them pure cold water and they squint in suspicion and mutter to each other about how queer it tastes.” Stannis ground his teeth. - A Clash of Kings

That line from Stannis hits different now that I'm an author. I keep hearing people say they want something different with fantasy, and I bring that option to the table... Stannis was on to something here. He was trying to find his audience too.
