Hi. I really like your work, specially your Chapter by Chapter analysis. I am very fond to Eddard Stark as a character and you did a great job analyzing him through the political lens of Lord Paramount and Hand of the King in contrast to his behavior as best friend of Robert. After all, do you like him as a character or do you find it annoying? What do you think about his impact through the Saga in Planetos and to us as readers? English is not my native language, please excuse my writing.

Thanks very much! 

I like Eddard a lot, and a big part of my motivation for doing a chapter-by-chapter analysis of AGOT was to try to rehabilitate his reputation among the fandom. And judging from more recent discourse in the fandom, I think I’ve been reasonably successful. 

As far as his impact on Westeros, look at how the North remembers “the Ned” and is willing to rise up against the Boltons in allegiance to his memory and his children.
