Winter is coming

[exsequar]

Oooooh.

I just finished George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, the first of the Song of Ice and Fire series. I'd read it before, but like 5 years ago, so I remembered basically nothing (EXCEPT THE DEATH OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTER >:( ). I am just... stunned, and so invested in all of these people. (Except how he KILLED MY FAVORITE CHARACTER,

Bran :( ARYA IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FEMALE CHARACTERS EVER! OMG I LOVE HER ♥ AND JON ♥ OMG I have to reread the books too &heearts; The whole thing is soooo amazing.

[exsequar]

ARYA!!!! I love her sword lessons and how she becomes this NINJA and she can catch CATS and she kills a dude and she's like HOLY SHIT D: but it doesn't eat her up with grief because she's BADASS. Ughhhh she's amazing. ♥ I can't wait to see what she does next.

JON JON JON JONNNNN. HE'S GONNA SAVE THE WOOOORLD.

Yaaaay someone to flail with! *flails hands at you*

[snuffkin]

ARYA, JON AND DANY RULE THOSE BOOKS

OMG I totally should buy the English versions. \o/

[skyfalling]

I LOVE THESE BOOKS SO MUUUUCH. I want to flail about what happens in the later books but I won't spoil you. :)

[darlas_mom]

That's Song of Ice and Fire. ;-)

I loved "A Game of Thrones," but am spoiled on future books in ways that make me wanna just hang on to this one with my fingernails and not read them. (Because lots of other people die.

Lots.

LOTS.)

Martin is utterly brill, and a cool person, to boot! He's on my flist! grrm!

[exsequar]

Even those kinds of spoilers displease me! :( Now I don't want to keep reading. Meh. I'll just brace myself for the crying.

Ha, I knew that, I swear! Doh.

Oh I love how many authors have LJs, it's so sweet. Does he ever talk about spoilery things?

Haha your icon is so necessary! I wish I had an allpurpose one like that!

[darlas_mom]

Aww, sorry! :-/ Warning from me to you, then: stay AWAY from the "Song of Ice and Fire" wiki, because it's really bad about the "you should know this already" attitude.

He does not. He mostly talks about politics, football, book signings and when new merchandise is coming and where you can get it.

Ohhhh, yeah. I love this icon. It may be my favorite. It's gackable, if you want! I didn't make it, but the credit info's in my summary.

Dude I love this series. GRRM is actually quite possibly my favourite author. Ever.
Jaime fast becomes one of my fave characters ever (only possible if you mindblock the whole twincest thing *shudder*)
My second fave is Sansa; she's forced to grow up so much, thank god.
You're gonna love the rest of the series, even though he will break your heart a lot more.
But he's taking so long with the next book! The fifth was released in 2005, and he still hasn't finished the next one.
Meanie.
Anyway, here is some <3. Now go read the next four!

[exsequar]

Ooooh, Jaime becomes sympathetic? That's REALLY interesting. There were definitely hints that he's not as hateful as his father or Cersei, and I'm excited to learn more about the golden knight :D I bet he'll be a fave of mine too. The twincest also doesn't really bother me, given my extensive involvement in the SPN fandom - perhaps not something to brag about, but true nonetheless :P

I didn't realize there were already FIVE out. Wasn't A Feast of Crows the fourth? What came after that?

I'm so excited!

[dontsaveme52]

Yeah sorry Feast for Crows is the 4th, it's just with Storm of Swords being divided into two books,I automatically think 5 instead.
Tbh, I'm not a big fan of Dany. I would like her if she decides to stay in the East. I don't want her to go back and rule Westeros.
I'm actually weird about female characters. There aren't many I like. The only ones in ASOIAF I can really stand are Arya and Sansa. The rest... nup.
Jaime really is nothing like Cersei. Tragic hero=<3
