3.0

Everything fell very flat, not sure if it was because I already knew what was going to happen or if the characters themselves have paper thin personalities. I will say, the show is VERY faithful to the book, with the exception of the gratuitous sex and sexual violence which is, mercifully, mostly absent from the books. The same things I took issue with in the show, I also take issue with here, no surprise there. Dany being 13 still is really disgusting, not much to be done about that. Overall, lots of characters and action but seriously lacking any depth.

Loved it. It reads like the box set it would become. You can't put it down. The Wars of the Roses in a fantastical world with mythic beasts. Perfect
