I love Game of Thrones, but I feel like the civilian POV chapter would just be a lot of :

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!

Seriously the amount of conquest, rape and pillaging in the river lands would make it one of the saddest most heartbreaking chapters. And as each book goes on it just gets worse. "Oh man they killed the Stark dude...that sucks."

A few days pass.

"Oh I guess we're at war. Lucky I am nowhere near a castle. Just a farmer growing grain for King's Landing. No one would bother with me."

"Oh I hear that the armies are coming near. But I don't think that it matters, I am just a farmer."

"Oh the Lions burned my crops and killed my son and raped my wife and daughter. Thank goodness they didn't find my silver stash and it seems like my wife and daughter will make it.:("

"Oh the Dire Wolves came by and burned my house...and I can't find my livestock...I still have some coins set aside. :'("

"Oh the Lightning Knight and Kingsmen are taking care of the small folk we're saved!"

"Oh he is dead...and my liege lord is captured...and some of his men came by and took all of my reserve to replant...and my daughter is pregnant...at least a still have a few coins...we might survive."

"Oh and now a new crazier much more brutal person has taken over from Dondarrion. They hung my daughter for sleeping with the Lions....at least I can spend my last few coins to get a crop in the ground."

"Oh and after spending my last few coins winter came...my crops died before they even grew...my wife and I are headed to King's Landing..."

"Oh and the Faith has decided to start shutting down brothels...we're destitute...I envy my son...."

YEAH THAT'S LIFE IN THE SEVEN KINGDOMS. NO ONE WANTS TO READ THAT!
