Dance With Dragons
Wow. Just wow. After waiting for A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin for, well, a while, i don't know what exactly to say. Semi-spoilerish things may follow.
so i am going to go with a 5. this will count for the 2011 Challenge in the Willpower? What Willpower? category. And i still love the series. and i will be buying the new one, whenever it comes out.
- A certain character better not be dead. I'm just saying, I read that bit and gasped and flipped through the chapter headings to see if that particular person had another chapter, which they didn't.
- Poor Martell kid. ouch.
- Tyrion might, possibly, maybe, have a touch of a Tysha obsession. I want to smack him and say "let it go!".
- Also, too much travel, not enough being there!
- We totally did not need a new candidate for the throne.
- Stannis-still a disappointment.
- how can you make me feel even somewhat sorry for Theon? ugh.
- Cersei is totally not cowed.
- Rickon? maybe? please?
- everyone has to be as scattered as they are going to be...let's all start for King's Landing or the Wall, shall we?
- I still like Daenerys but i wish her big stuff had happened hundreds of pages earlier.

I've been reading some of Martin's early short stories and essays in his book "Dream Songs-Volume 1"
ReplyDeleteIt's very apparent in some of his early stories that he has a tendency to kill off his main character as he's done in the "Song of Ice and Fire" series!
