Devi Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) But not that one apparently. I will admit it, I got excited at the next GoT book, even though I am still reading the third one. Stiil, it sounds rather like a good book. The World of Ice and Fire, a comprehensive history of Martin's world, will be released on Oct. 26 in New York. It's billed as a "lavishly illustrated" volume spanning from the Dawn Age to the fall of the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen.

Athena Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 It sounds interesting , even if I'd rather have book six . Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 The person who wrote that article deserves a kick, not only for trying to get people's hopes up with the title, but also for calling it a "'Game of Thrones' book", which is starting to bug me. 'Game of Thrones' is the tv series - the book series is called 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. There is only one book called A Game of Thrones [/pedant mode: off] Aaaaand breathe Quote
Athena Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 This is very true, Steve! I didn't want to nitpick (I tend to do that), so I didn't mention it . But it bugs me too! Quote
Signor Finzione Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 That picture makes him look like a priest. It probably will be an awesome book, but I hope the artwork is a bit nicer than a lot of the stuff in this, which I find a bit too modern and caricature-ish. Quote
Devi Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Haha yeah, the title is what people call click bait. Edited September 10, 2014 by Devi Quote
frankie Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 ^ To me, the title of this thread seems like click bait, too It made me think Martin's finished the next book in the actual series. Quote
ian Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I fell for it too. I propose we send the author to the Wall for his crimes! Quote
Athena Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I kind of knew it wasn't going to be 'that one', I think it'll still be a while before we see it (but I really want it though!). But I do think it's not so nice of the author of the article to pull people like that. It's trickery. And that's a good idea, Ian! Quote
Devi Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 ^ To me, the title of this thread seems like click bait, too It made me think Martin's finished the next book in the actual series. Fixed, I was butt tired at the time so just copied the articles title Quote
