[TV] Game of Thrones [No Spoilers]

[Arrowstormen]

So, I believe the series was supposed to only have three books in it, but he decided to make it seven. I looked over the release dates of the different books, and noticed how long time there is between book 3 and 4, and 4 and 5, compared to the first three. I also saw some discussion where some people said that the three first books are far better than A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons. Is that true, or what is your opinion of it?

1. Seven books are actually eight, in theory, since the author said books 4 and 5 were supposed to be a single book.
2. Book 3 is probably the best if you were to judge from the amount of action and turn of events that happen all in all, but 5 has an interesting amount of character development. The amount of ragequit you can have from reading book 3 is way bigger than any other, of course, and that may also be way it's the most interesting so far.
And yes, it'll be a huge bummer if we have to wait more than 3 years for another book.

We got seven books, but if we combine two of them, we get eight? Da fudge? And A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons was supposed to be one book? Well then, that was quite a long time to wait for the second part of that book, don't you think?

It's one book in the sense that the events of both happen simultaneously. A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons are not nearly as bad as people make them out to be. I just think after the 3rd book people where expecting even more action and a faster plot build up and they were disappointed that instead it slowed down. The last 2 books are probably calm before the storm, which will hopefully come in the next book.

Slowing down below A Game of Thrones level of slow or...?

Also, if the events happen simultaneously, is it then possible to "shuffle" the books "person chapters" together?

Here's something to whet your appetites. I don't think it's spoilery but use your own discretion.

Varys has an amazing actor. He delivered that paddling line so perfectly.

[Katsu]

im going to read the books.. i got a new job that gives me more free time and i need something to do between raid resets

Haha same, just ordered the first one, reallllly like the whole setting and everything

[Gallahadd]

man I LOVE the actor that plays Varys, he's just so.... creepy , one of my favourite scenes from season one was the part with him and Littlefinger in the Throne room. they're talking about loyalty, and although they say nothing overtly hostile, you can just sense the danger in the room, masterfully done.

AMFG 4 DAYS.
