There MUST be a lesson there, somewhere, but.oh, look.a chicken!Ģ/3rds through the second book of the series, I abandoned it. Oh, how fickle am I?! Story of my life: from zero to sixty in a split second, and then, less than a mile down the road (after all, the acceleration's the fun part), I stop on a dime and forget where it was exactly I was headed. I'm a girl in love.and, thankfully, I've only just started my journey! I feel like I am the recipient of a gift that is both magical and priceless. Not since I was a child have I lost myself in a story as deeply or as fully as I have with GoT. Simply put, I have fallen in love anew with the pleasures of reading.

Best of all, so far, anyway, the story is very well-written, and Martin takes full advantage of a broad vocabulary, without it ever feeling gratuitous or pedantic. Well, GoT has everything.and more, in spades.that I love in a good book: characters you can sink your teeth into, that are fully developed and multifaceted romance, with plenty of sex (but not too graphic.but graphic enough) violence, but not without purpose excellent pacing, with lots of twists and turns in the plot drama, drama, and more drama power struggles and intrigue.and that's just off the top of my head. So then what explains my deep infatuation with Game of Thrones ("GoT")? I do not want to rule armies or nations, which is a really good thing, since even the simplest strategy confounds me. I haven't played World of Warcraft or any of the knock-offs those fantasy worlds hold no interest for me. Twice I tried to develop a taste for "The Hobbit" (as a teen and more recently, as an adult), but it never took, nor did any of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy movies do the trick to capture my fancy. The closest I ever came was enjoying the "Harry Potter" series, but that was a fluke. Historically, I haven't been a fantasy fan. I read while brushing my teeth and at meals. I read when I wake up in the morning, I read throughout the day, and I read until I fall asleep at night. Now, with more than half of the first book (A Game of Thrones: Song of Fire and Ice) under my belt, I say, "Where have you been hiding, my dear? It seems I've been waiting for you my whole life!" Like any new romance, it is constantly on my mind, and I find myself wishing there were more hours in a day, so it could fill those too.
