The Game of Thrones books were the first books that made me think that being an author wasn't a loathsome profession. There's some real character development in there and a masterful control of plot. And hey - GRRM makes verbosity look good. Dude can make people sit through 1600 pages where 400 would do.

And Arya Stark is one hell of a character.

George RR Martin being George RR Martin, I actually talked to one of the producers on Game of Thrones to ask, yes or no, if he was going to turn Arya into, like, Hitler. I never got a response. So we decided maybe that wasn't a good idea, and her name was gonna be Mirabel, and then she came out with this ferocious frown on her face, and wee decided she was Arya.

I just couldn't tell if you were joking, tbh. I'm surprised though, I woulda sworn you thought they were shit.

Naah, dog. For the last couple seasons, the show has been better than the books, but Dance with Dragons is rough f'n going.

Besides, check out The Bubble Warrior.
