Winter Is Coming

Thrones
Like most of fandom, it seems, I’ve been looking forward to the HBO presentation of A Game of Thrones. My anticipation was due to somewhat transparent reasons; Sean Bean and Jason Momoa. It’s a safe bet to say that I will watch Sean in anything. ANYTHING. The fact that this is a really good story only makes it better. I had planned to read the book series in which the show is based, A Song of Ice and Fire, after the first season aired, but Ben pretty much convinced me to jump right in. I jumped in, and didn’t come up for air until I had finished the first four (and only released as of this date) novels.

What do I make of them? Well, they’re good. They’re well written and the style is actually easy to follow. It’s clearly a fantasy series, though it’s not really fantastical. Some of the twists, particularly in the first and third books blew my mind. I’m still waiting for a twist (which will never come) for events in the first book, and that third one actually knocked me off the sofa. I’ll give Martin one thing, he’s not afraid to jack up a character. HA!

I do have to admit, however, that it’s my literary mind that enjoys the series rather than my fangirl mind. There is no OTP here, unless you count Cersei and Jaime, but do you really want to do that?!? There are no heroes, either. While there is no shortage of villains, there is no character that can been seen as the one you want to cheer for. I can’t say too much without spoiling people, and with this series, it would be a travesty to not experience the bombshells just as I did, so I’ll have to wait for you guys to catch up so we can compare and contrast our amusements. So GO READ!

  19. After I initially commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time a comment is added I get four emails with the exact same comment. Is there an easy method you are able to remove me from that service? Many thanks.

  38. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.

    However imagine if you added some great images or videos to give your posts more,
    “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this
    site could certainly be one of the best in its
    niche. Very good blog!

  39. Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it
    was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still
    new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for beginner blog writers?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.

  41. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something relating to this.

  43. Hi, I do think your web site could be having browser compatibility problems.
    When I take a look at your web site in Safari, it looks
    fine however, if opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues.
    I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
    Besides that, wonderful blog!

  44. Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to produce a top notch article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.
