Hey guys! I'm enjoying the re read, I also have noticed the parallels between Robert and Cersei losing the things that made them feel special. Its ironic how Cersei hated Robert for being drunk, abusive and also a man whore. She is acting the same way in Feast. 'You only saw her beauty, never the iron beneath..' This quote about Lyanna is a parallel to Sansa. Sansa is known for her beauty and that's all everyone can see (in the story) so her strength gets overlooked.
