Political intrigue, direwolves, and incest

Mar 18, 2011 06:46

I started writing a locked post about usual things, but decided that I don't want to write about illness while on vacation. SO I WON'T.

INSTEAD, I would like to write about George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice. You might remember me writing about Game of Thrones a while ago. I had been stalled out on the beginning of A Clash of Kings for a while, and then suddenly tore through the second 3/4, and am now halfway through A Storm of Swords.

IDK, I feel slightly guilty reading these, sort of like how I feel when reading the Kushiel series. Like, the writing is okay but not stellar, and the plot is heinous, but makes me SO INTRIGUE.

I still like Arya and Caitlin a lot. Am liking Sansa more, and am now actually liking Jaime Lannister! Bwahaha.

I'm assuming that fandom sorts people into houses, just like HP, amirite?
I want to be a Stark because I could have a puppy direwolf.

I don't think this is too spoilery, but I like the women characters (even Cersei) but am disappointed that for most of them, it took me a book and a half to mostly do so.

As an FYI, I probably won't be on the Internets again until Sunday night, so if you leave comments, don't expect replies until then at the earliest.
