A

kingdoms are at war, and magic has thought to be died out. A Dance With Dragons

the fourth book. The war of five kings is winding down. In the north, Jon Snow

The theme of this book reflects the secluded veracity of the medieval world by capturing the nature of our staggering brutality and abrupt savagery not only in wars or fights, but also in the form of politics, religion and bad blood. In his world, Mr. Martin creates a web like game, where one's decision can affect others players. And Since his book represent the real world, there is hardly anything that can be predicted. This way Martin sharpens our vision on what to expect in life. There is much to learn form reading a book like this. Lets take Jon Snow for instance, he was a fan favorite character, an honarable man and a good soldier, after he became the 998 lord commadner of the nights watch, he let half the wilding army enter the wall with nothing to feed them nor his people, this caused his soldiers to resent him. As a tyrion lannister once said good men dont always make good kings, but bad men sometimes make good kings.
In the end George R.R Martin has style. He created this vivid picterisque reminicing the real world while still including a hint of magic and fantasy. And although the book does suffer from bieng crowded with characters , over a 1000 pages, which is to some level a bit too long considering the length of other books and a bit too detailed in that matter, but they all come in handy in the big picture. Because they end up making the part of what makes this book so real. I like to think of them as little side effects of great medicine.

Chris: I heard that the america drama,'Game Of Thrones,' is so interesting. However you said in presentation this book was boring. So I'll never try this book. :)

ReplyDeleteSawako: You didn't recommend this book at all in your presentation, so I will never try it, but I got interested in the point that not good men, but bad men sometimes make good kings.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you, I am usually not interested in reading fantasy things and decided not to read in my future.
ReplyDeleteGrace: I am always fascinated by George R.R.'s books. I think they are all very interesting, but too much characters which makes me hard to remember their names.

ReplyDeleteI wish to read this book, but I have phobia of heavy books like that; in fact that's why I tend to read e-books.
