As far as A Feast for Crows goes, I had believed it to be the red headed step child of the series. I was feeling more and more disappointed as I read through the chapters with there being no Bran/Tyrion/Jon chapters as well as introducing a whole new set of players in the game with the Ironmen/Dorne factions. My disappointment lasted until the very last sentence of the last chapter of the book... "I'm Pate," the other said, "like the pig boy." This line made me re-read the first chapter and helped me realize what the hell had actually happened. Now I am debating re-reading the entire series... was is Oakhart who betrayed Arianne? | ||

Having never heard of it before I decided that if HBO is going to make a series out of it(I really like HBO productions) I would pick up the first book and give it a try. I started reading on Christmas eve and finished the series on the first of February. This story GRRM is telling is outstanding, the quality of the narrative is outstanding, the characters are outstanding and the foreshadowing is perfectly subtle it is hard to believe a single human created it all.

George isn't that much involved in the production of the series and it hardly takes up all of his time. If anything I believe that the production of this series may possibly affect his writing positively. Both in the way that he gets "re-inspired" once he sees his work come to life in a different medium and the fact that he can't let them catch up with him. | ||

Writing a novel is one of the most difficult things to do, even a shitty one, and especially a great piece of epic fantasy like A Song of Ice and Fire. If you have never written one, you have no idea. Writing just 40 000 words which is the minimum requirement for it to be a novel takes a long time, and it has to fit together and make sense story-wise. It is very exhausting mentally to write a novel, which is why most writers only do their 2000 words a day instead of 8 hours straight of work. Though there are some authors who do work 8 hours per day. George R.R. Martin is not making the TV-show. He might pitch in and give his opinion, but depending on what his contract looks like, he's basically just giving the production company the rights to produce this TV-show based on his novels. | ||

I would like to give mad props for the translators who did the brazilian-portuguese version, it was, simply put, a perfect translation. | ||

Tyrion, Jon, Dany, Stannis and Melisandre, Davos Seaworth, and all the rest of the characters you love or love to hate will be along next year (I devoutly hope) in A Dance with Dragons, which will focus on events along the Wall and across the sea, just as the present book focused on King's Landing. -George R.R. Martin June 2005 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- | ||
