I bought it on friday and I am quite disgusted by it so far - but I havent reached those references yet. THEREFORE I SHALL NOT GIVE UP. Thanks for the hope :D
I found the writing bad and pretty poor quality to be honest. I was often laughing by his overuse of adjectives that were too grandoise and pretentious and the metaphors! I don't know whether this is beause I got into hating Stephenie Meyer over the summer (who uses a similar style of writing) or because I've been reading stuff like Catch-22 lately (which I seriously reccomend) and I haven't had a go at much light hearted and younger stuff. I mean, I really liked the Inheritance trilogy ... :S DRAGONS FTW
Hell, I know. It was particularly bad at the start, but I think it calmed down a little later on - or maybe I just got used to it. Seriously though. "... causing iron tongues to crash against iron throats and emit a mournful clamor that echoed over the hills." Why not "causing the bells to ring loudly"?
I'm not sure what I thought of Twilight. I mean, I enjoyed reading it, but it was like I couldn't be bothered to read the rest. Also, Bella infuriates me. STOP BEING SO STUPID.
ARYA FTW.
The expression on Ten's face in your icon seems so perfect for the discussion we're having.

The Inheritance books are not exactly great literature, but they're entertaining enough. And they have dragons and stuff. So, I'll keep reading. :D
nearing the end now.

Also Arya hasn't had a scene yet and I ♥ her.
