I watched the first episode (I know .. no I do not live in a country that supports H.B.O., so YES, it might have been **legal, SRY no other way) and the next day, I went to the next big library and got the first book. Already finished it and got the 2nd one.

I LOVE IT. How did I miss that ?

Now, what was the last book you read?
I'm reading a saga which they're going to make into a series on HBO, I think. A Song of Ice and Fire. It's a series of books and I'm on the third one.

haha, what the hell??

i'm not sure if this is interesting enough to bump this thread, but it was the last answer i was expecting while reading an interview of a world class spanish footballer.


Are you kidding me lol, that's brilliant. xD

I always liked the guy while he was in Liverpool too.

I am just reading the 2nd book and Bran and Rockon seem to have died in the windmill ... DID THEY REALLY ? Did not expect that to be honest. I like surprises.

Are they really dead ?

lol I don't think it's necessary to have spoilers for a 10 year old book. If they stroll into this thread then that's their fault imo

Shouldnt have asked :D BTW those were not questions now, so dont tell me. But thanks for the answer anyway :D

HOLY FUCKING JUMPING SHITBALLS!

This has become like Harry Potter for me. I was so relieved when Harry Potter 7 came out, because I could stop worrying about J.K Rowling suddenly dying, leaving her work unfinished.

George is the new Joanne. He is not allowed to die before he finishes this story.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

Okay to answer my own question ..
Could have just read on.

+ Show Spoiler +
Theon gazed at them silently while the wind tugged on his cloak with small ghostly hands. The
miller’s boys had been of an age with Bran and Rickon, alike in size and coloring, and once Reek
had flayed the skin from their faces and dipped their heads in tar, it was easy to see familiar
features in those misshapen lumps of rotting flesh. People were such fools. If we’d said they
were rams’ heads, they would have seen horns.

I also only get the first one in the library ( I hoped there would still be a english copy, I like to read in the original language when I can speak it ), had to buy the 2nd one per ebook.

I checked the library for the first one and it suddenly had 6+holds on it. so when I was back at my parents place I dug through the boxes of my books there and got it out.
Re-reading it right now. so very excited about dance with dragons.

The writing style of being willnig to kill off main characters has you on the edge of your seat the entire time. In other books when they try to cliffhanger the main character dying it falls short, because you know the author doesn't have the guts to actually kill off their prized character. With george rr martin, every time there's a fight, you fear for the characters lives, it is masterfully done.

Uh I'd say it is necessary when discussing significant plot developments. Is this thread 10 years old? Why even have a thread for 10 year old books? I just got books 1-3 in the mail yesterday and I thought the OP was asking for opinions on the series not plot discussion...

I mean his wife dies kind of but she come back and shit.


There are a fairly large number of POV characters that end up dying within the currently released 4 books, all of whome but the one mentioned in the spoiler tags stays dead, I can think of 4-5 off the top of my head although their exact names escape me at the moment so I won't try and list them.

One of my favorite things about the series is that he's not afraid to kill your favorite character.

The Hound and Onion Knight are not dead, only hinted of dying. Brianne is also not 100% dead, we only know she loses consciousness. And Gregor is somehow kept alive by magic or whatever. Too bad Red Viper does not survive somehow as well :D

one of the best parts about this series is that "hinting at dying" can actually mean they are dead. You seriously never know. Of course I'll be shocked if Jon, Arya, or Daenerys are ever killed off, but anyone else is fair game.

I would also be shocked if Tyrion dies. Bran might, but something tells me if he does it would be in the very last book. So many events north of the wall will require his presence out there. Tyrion will also never die, dwarf is just too good at surviving.

Just here to proclaim my love for Jon's story as it develops in Book 3. I'm halfway through Part 1 (split books in the UK) and I really like the early part of it. If it continues, it seems 3 will be the best of them so far.

I'm just going to add some spoilers here even though they're not big, just in case (all early book 3 and previous)

I think I'm starting to enjoy all the characters chapters except maybe Daenerys + Show Spoiler +
who is mostly just moping around cities at the moment. Considering how good her story was in Game of Thrones, it's kinda dull in comparison.
.

I really like the new supporting chracters they add in book 3, especially in Jon's and Arya's stories.

Also, some of the backstories are pretty cool, especially with the + Show Spoiler +
Unsullied Men being so crazy. The story of them showing up late to a battle and fighting anyway was pretty epic and cool story behind having hair on their spears.
