Thoughts So Far
This page is going to be edited / updated somewhat regularly. I'll be using this as a place to write down my initial thoughts, feelings and criticisms towards the book that I am currently reading. I will then refer back to this page when writing my review for that particularly book - I thought it may be interesting to see if my initial reactions change throughout the books, and if so, in what way they change.
I will try to keep this page as spoiler free as possible but I cannot promise anything! If I am writing down something that could be deemed as a spoiler, there will be a big bold note telling you!
Book currently reading: A Game of Thrones - George R.R Martin
*A few sort of spoilers are included (No names are ever mentioned)*
So far, I am roughly about 15-20% of the way through (Around about 150 pages read so far). This may come as a surprise to a few people but although I am really enjoying the book, I am a little bit disappointed! This is probably because I gave it really high expectations - as I've never watched the TV show I had no idea what was going to happen other than 'everyone dies' as a lot of people seem to put it. So far, no one has died! Well, other than the 3 in the prologue and characters we know nothing about and are just part of the background. I'm guessing a 'main' character is going to die pretty soon as they're in a coma (but I may be wrong). Although I am a little bit disappointed that no one has died yet, I get the feeling it's going to kick off soon which I am really looking forward too!
I found it difficult to keep track of everything at the beginning, but now I've given it a few more chapters I seem to have gotten into the swing of everything and have found myself not wanting to put the book down, it's just a shame I don't have more time to read! The style of writing is fantastic and you get a really vivid image of the world surrounding the characters.
Each character is portrayed really well and I love the way he seems to make every character different. I've already picked my top 3 characters; Jon Snow, Bran and Ayra - not entirely sure why but I seemed to enjoy their chapters more than any of the others and warmed to them quite quickly - Be interesting to know what I think about them at the end of the books.
