So... A Game of Thrones Monkey Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 03:52:25 PM
Yes, I know I'm about 15 years late. Deal with it.

I just finished reading A Game of Thrones, and enjoyed it very very much. It's a very difficult book, but very rewarding. Seeing as everyone will have read it years ago, I won't go into detail but there's a few things I wanted to comment on:

- Jon Snow is awesome. He makes me sad.

- Dany. While her plotline ended up being really good in her last few chapters, what the hell is going on with it? Am I to understand it's still had nothing to do with anything by the end of the fourth book?

- Did I misread it or did Arya go out on a live-or-die cliffhanger with about 100 pages to go? I know she's not dead but if that's right then that's a really weird way of ending her storyarc in this book.

- Sansa. Oh lord, Sansa.

'Game' was good. The rest go downhill fast, though. Aemon - 04/09/2009 04:53:57 PM 857 Views

Oh alright, so there was a bit of exaggeration. (very slight real spoilers) Aemon - 04/09/2009 06:18:13 PM 729 Views

If you keep up the 15-year delay, you may not have to wait to read the fifth book... Craig - 05/09/2009 01:28:52 AM 733 Views
Read on. I think GoT is the worst of the series by a LONG way IndigoAjah - 05/09/2009 04:26:25 PM 721 Views
Just to ask.....are the first 3 books essentially a trilogy? trzaska2000 - 05/09/2009 05:47:14 PM 689 Views
More or less Werthead - 05/09/2009 06:59:53 PM 622 Views

Very cool, after Warbreaker, I may give GRRM a shot.....thanks! *NM* trzaska2000 - 06/09/2009 07:37:47 PM 328 Views
Quite stoically? That's not how I remember it. Legolas - 06/09/2009 07:57:56 PM 678 Views
Okay, more stoically than now. Werthead - 06/09/2009 09:10:31 PM 721 Views
