A Dance with Dragons


So, this is it. I’ve been pushing this book down the list for so long, but I couldn’t resist anymore. It’s not that I didn’t want to read it, but the next book is not published yet and I don’t really know when it will be published, so I did whatever I could not to read this book.

But I read it! And my head spins!

A Feast for Crows - The magic continues


I recently finished A Feast for Crows, the fourth book in the Game of Thrones series and I have to talk about it. Don’t worry. It’s not a review and I won’t spoil it for you. It’s just that these books are really different from any other I’ve ever read. In an older post, I promised that I’d keep reading this series and how could I stop?

The fourth book is actually half a book because we only see some of the characters. Despite that it’s a long book; I didn’t feel for a moment that it was only half. And I am wondering now, can anyone write the sequel of book with half the characters? And if he can, will the book be loved by the readers? Readers are the hardest judges and it’s too easy to love and hate a book. What George R. R Martin achieved, it’s truly magical. He has established every little character in his books and he managed to make us care for every one of them. So we don’t mind if some are missing for a while.

Game of Thrones makes me shiver...

Today I want to talk about a series of books that I believe will stay in history and that is Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. I have read the three of them and I am definitely going to read the others too. What can I say about those books…they are just amazing!

It was the first time I ever read that kind of book and I don’t regret it. I mean…George Martin has written a masterpiece!! All the details, the characters, the places, it is like I am reading something that really exists and I want to go visit Winterfell and all the Seven Kingdoms. I like the way he writes, showing the cruelty and the beauty of living in such a place. I adore Daenerys and her dragons and I am anxious to see them growing and help her take the kingdom.

What makes me shiver in those books is that they are so unpredictable. I don’t know who the main character may be in the future since they keep dying!!! And I like that nothing’s given, because that’s life! We don’t know what a new day will bring. Every book has its own magic and up to the third everything changes. I don’t have a clue what is happening in the fourth and don’t even ask me about the rest. What I know is reading this series it's a unique experience! They're long books I know, but I don’t believe this is a reason not to read them. I know many people who say that they are too big and they can’t read them and many stuff like that, but I always tell them that they are missing a wonderful experience.

Reading Game of Thrones isn’t just reading a book…you got to live in the Seven Kingdoms and you know everything and everyone. When I'm reading I feel like I open a portal and travel with the writer in his amazing world.

If you having second thoughts about reading those books…just go for it!! Trust me you'll not lose!
