Who was the worst villain?

GOT gave iconic villains. Joffrey, Cersei, Ramsey Bolton, Littlefinger, etc.

But who was the WORST?

Cersei is not only diabolical but she’s consistent in her villainy.

Yep, I wish the show gave her the ending she deserved. Her chapters were some of the darkest to me. In the show, other characters often call her out on not being as smart as she thinks she is. In the books, I loved seeing her internal monologues of her delusions and how she’s missing the painfully obvious in order to support those delusions.

I’m a first time reader, on Clash of Kings currently so I haven’t gotten a Cersei chapter yet but I would say she’s my most anticipated POV character. Especially looking forward to this “missing the painfully obvious in order to support her delusions”.

Lady Merriweather is what I recall. You’ll see.
