9 Reasons Why Arya Stark Has The Most Frustrating Storyline In Game Of Thrones

1. The Purpose

Arguably the most frustrating aspect of Arya's entire storyline is the fact that she hasn't impacted the real story in any way.

If we're boiling her last two seasons down to the core aspects, she has arrived in Braavos, trained to kill and that's about it. Meryn Trant was her only significant victim, and the Waif was never going to survive if it were a choice between her and Arya.

Arya has been taken out of all relevancy, with her entire Braavos storyline now looking like an epic voyage across the Narrow Sea with the sole purpose of returning to Westeros via an epic voyage across the Narrow Sea. Her storyline has been pointless, with the entire concept of being trained to kill taking far too long to play out.
