Winter Is Coming

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!

  1. I really love your website.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you create this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m planning to create my own blog and would love to learn where you got this from or what the theme is called. Many thanks!

  2. I have to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this blog. I am hoping to view the same high-grade blog posts by you later on as well. In fact, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my very own blog now 😉

  3. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something regarding this.

  4. The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not fail me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I truly believed you would probably have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.

  5. Oh my goodness! Awesome article dude! Many thanks, However I am going through problems with your RSS. I don’t know the reason why I can’t join it. Is there anybody else getting identical RSS issues? Anyone who knows the answer will you kindly respond? Thanks.

  6. I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I found this in my search for something relating to this.

  7. Howdy, I think your web site could be having web browser compatibility problems. When I take a look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in IE, it’s got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Other than that, wonderful website!

  8. Hi, I do believe this is an excellent site. I stumbledupon it 😉 I’m going to come back yet again since I book-marked it. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and continue to guide other people.
