Finished book 3.


Hodor.

The whole of it or just part 1? I've just started Book 3 part 2, had it on order from the library but couldn't wait so bought it as an e-book!

You should put that in spoilers, not everyone has read or watched everything and I don't think anyone should have that particular little nugget spoiled.

Having said that.   Which one? :demon: ;)

Maybe so, but did you spot it in advance or in a reread? I know I didn't

I'm now up to date and awaiting season 4.

Addicted!

There's rumors that they may not follow the plot from the books because there's a few vague bits and a few characters aren't involved for a book or two.

Yeah that's totally true - in season 3 the bits of Theon Greyjoy were from the latest book!


The original book 4 (iirc) was divided into two as it became too long.  Hence half the POV characters were missing from each and both books run concurrently.


It it worrying for us that read these things* that the TV series pace far outstrips the rate of book writing...

I finished A Feast for Crows and I'm waiting for my colleague to get his books back from whoever has borrowed them so I can borrow the next ones.

I really hope

Half way through Dreams and Dust, and really quite bored. Too many new characters I don't care about, too much not happening, too much focus on the boring one, no sex, no fighting, just a lot of blahblahblah.

Ah right (comes back from looking it up) Dance with Dragons part 1.  I do these in hardback y'see.


Yes, Dance became far too long so he (GRRM) divvied it up between two books so you lose half of the PoV characters for a while - they return in the next book with the ones from DwD missing (mostly at least in both cases).  Still some good stuff in there though and Tyrion is hardly the most boring character...  You're going to be up with us all soon!


Tis true that Dance is probably my least favourite in the series so far though.

Read the first four books and it all became a bit samey. Lost interest.
