Winter is ending. But winter is coming. (:

Learned that A Dance With Dragons is releasing on July 21. Can't believe it. Can't wait for it. A Storm Of Swords was a masterpiece. And GRRM wrote ages to write this one. So the suspense builds and his tricks work on us mere mortals.

Also, I am amazed at the fact that A Game Of Thrones starts immediately after my reshuffling test. (: With F1. And MotoGP. April is going to be SUCH a good month. ^___^


Since I'm here to gush, I'm going to introduce you to some of the characters. *_*



That's Eddard Stark played by Sean Bean and the little girl is Arya Stark. She is awesome. :D She'd rather sword fight with a stick than work on her hair and clothes to look pretty for the boys.



That's Bran holding the bow with Jon Snow and Robb. Bran doesn't have much of a role in the first book but we know that he'll have a huge part to play in the future. Robb is the immediate lord-in-line while Jon Snow is the Lord's 'bastard.'



That's Lena Headey (yay. I love the character connection to Terminator, don't you?) who plays Cersei Lannister, the antagonist. She symbolises pure evil and genius. Love her. Hate her. It's confusing.



Tyrion Lannister, commonly called "The Imp." He's clever, witty and misunderstood. GRRM show being a dwarf as the worst kind of physical 'ugly' and manifests it into the most wonderful character in the series.

Jaime Lannister. Didn't like him till A Storm Of Swords. Interesting turn of events after the book. And no Catelyn did not sever his manhood. ):

Lastly, they are Daenarys Stormborn and Viserys Targaryen. They are the Last ofTargaryens who are the 'Blood of the Dragon.' Originally the Targaryens ruled, until the Mad King Aerys was defeated by Robert Baratheon, Eddard Stark and Tywin Lannister.



I really hope that the TV series does not make A Song of Ice And Fire a mainstream series that everybody reads. It would really disappoint me. These things do.

Yet I'm excited. Verrry excited. The books are fantastic and exalting to me. They transport me to a different world of fantasy and wonder and emotions and adventure and all sort of extremeties. Throughout the books there is pace, spontainety, intrigue, suspense interspersed with violence, language and the realistic approach to the fragility of human existence and vulnerability to death. It takes imagination and courage to create such a world with such intricacy and detail that never bores. GRRM is a fantasy God.


My favourite series ever. On TV. :)
Hell yeah I'm excited.
