A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - The Dom Reviews

I think there'a a lot of potential of mixing these straight-up book reviews with lost in adaptation, especially if the film only adapts the first of a trilogy and never does good enough to warrant an adaptation of the rest of the series. For some reason, The Golden Compass comes immediately to mind. The Golden Compass works great, cause it's a shit adaptation that failed at the box office, and gets WEIRD in the next two. I think doing book reviews of things like this allows the LiA episode to stand as its own thing, while still getting to talk about all the crazy things that could of been.

Some violence. No sex.

May have to agree to disagree on that one.

Yeah, there aren't many endings in Asoiaf, but there are some. The first book wraps itself up pretty neatly, imo, especially with Dany's story, that, while not being finished, still feels like a full story, hence why it was also published as one in Blood of the Dragon. Catelyn and Theon also have endings with their death-fakeouts if you ask me. They are written so they don't feel anticlimactic or out of nowhere, but instead feal like a pretty natural conclusion, and they are given plenty of time to let the reader sit on them and become acustomed to that character being dead before they are brought back in a shocking reveal.

Its always amazing how things, sometimes minor, end up making a giant change to the world. If you ever want to be blown away on how one action can change everything, look up how Archduke Franz Ferdinand death by a nobody named Gavrilo Princip changed everything and set in motion the last 100 years

I;ve read these and I like them. They actually got me to read ASOIAF.

The graphic novel adaptations are also good, though I haven't read the third one. I didn't realize GRR did these as novelettes first. I'll have to check those versions out too!

Interesting so less sex and violence and a good tale to boot? Now that I have to check out. (Don’t get me wrong I know that a Song of Ice and Fire is good but I don’t want to read graphic depictions of violence and sex)

Now I must find this

Different, but I shall watch and love all the same.
