GAME OF THRONES
GAME OF THRONES
I finally got the books I ordered and started reading Game of Thrones. I started last weekend and thanks to it being a 3-day holiday, I read the whole first book in the series. So now I am ahead of the TV show. In fact, I'm a third of the way through the second book, and hooked completely.
I'll add my two cents to the pot...it is a wonderful series, full of the most compelling characters I've enjoyed in ages. Of all the great characters, good and bad, I think Arya is my favourite. I identify with her the most of any of them. I love Ned, Tyrion, Robb and Catelyn too. Daenerys is another fascinating character, but she is, of necessity, remote. It's hard to identify with her, but I like her a lot despite that.
I don't want to put down any spoilers since I know what will be coming in the TV show. But I can say that despite the fact we have seen some exciting stuff in the TV series, we haven't seen anything yet by comparison. :)

As a character I think Theon is very self-absorbed, but he has done some good things for people...Robb Stark, anyway, who seems to be the only one he truly cares for. But it amuses me how he seems always to be thinking of sex!
Tyrion is putting things in order and doing a good job! But we will see how it all turns out...from this series of books you don't know who will live and who will die. Anything is possible! :)

There are many surprises in the books!!!
