A review by benniii
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
4.0
“‘I gave you nothing,’ Tyrion said. ‘Words.’”
“‘Most of my kin are bastards,’ he said with a wry smile, ‘but you’re the first I’ve had to friend.’”
“‘You have juice on your face, Your Grace,’ Arya said.”
“The original pommel was a bear’s head. […] For you I thought a white wolf more apt.”
I wasn’t ready to read this book when I started it, and thought I might end up adding it to “The Shelf of the Abandoned”, despite its reputation. Turns out it was easier to read than I’d ever thought from this kind of book, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
A little part of me feels that it’s sort of like a reality show with all the petty people, the drama and the backstabbing. A bigger part of me loved so many of the interactions and how the characters evolved.
To read the next book, though, I’ll need one of you to hand me a pair of sharp scissors or something, so I can snip off a few testicles.
