    Sorry, I don't get the Harry Potter comparison... Not one bit.

    The world he has created is wonderful, many of the characters he has created have great potential. Sadly he seems to think he can just kill them off before you become invested in them and replace them in you sphere of interest with someone he recently introduced.

    Harry Potter was just shit.

    Edit: Perhaps it's for the best he kills many of them off because when he does keep an interesting character around (Daenerys) he wraps them up so much that they start to become stale and unable to affect what is actually interesting for them to affect.

        My problem with A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones is I'm not sure he won't die before he finishes the damn thing.

          He has been quoted as saying he'll finish the series on tv rather than in the books, I hope not. Then in another interview he said that he saw the ending as a cold wind blowing across an empty graveyard,

                Marc: that's what I implied. The fantasy realms changed along with ther kids who loved them so.
                They grew up to admire Got after HP.

                  A character without morals? Let them degrade and kill the character with morals for a bit before they get killed.

                  I'm very bored of the whole thing. He takes character progression and individual story arc to a point where it's going to be interesting and then just rips it away... I appreciate a writer who doesn't protect characters and doesn't just default to a happy ending.... But the guy is a sycophant or at the very least admires sycophants and I'm tired of how predictable his attempt at being opposite of traditional fantasy.

                  I get that the story is about the possible end of a world of magic and fairy tales and the possible start of a world of logic and the establishment of greed driven power.... But shit, I have enough of that in the real world.
                  Interesting point, I'd never thought of it like that. I agree with your later point about Kaleeshi as well. I like her character but I have felt in this series she's started to stagnate a little and I'm wondering wether he'll just kill her of well before she gets to kings landing.

                  Personally I think there is a lot of good stuff after black album I know theres a lot who don't but why should they keep trying the same stuff, I think a lot of the stuff people would like if it wasn't released by Metallica.

                    So were the Chronicles or Narnia and His Dark Materials, they were wonderful.

                      I think I'm sorted, thanks. I was just lamenting the vigour with which Metallica opposed change at the time.

                        My guess, she will be degraded beyond recognition... Because she is well liked he won't be happy until she is Raped and in chains. In the end she and her Dragons will die as will the Starks and their Dire Wolves which will effectively bring around the end of the mythical age and usher in the age of Human political progression spearheaded by the absolute most conniving survivors of the assassinations who will plague the land forevermore to ever increasing technological advancement.

                        It really is like reading about paradise being paved to put up a parking lot.

                          On one hand, it's a credit to his story telling that I have such strong feeling in any given direction.
