When I got this book from Miranda, said only one word: "epic." Skeptically looked at the number of pages (774 wonderful!), But no .. Miranda rules, advises Miranda, Miranda ... In short, after reading two hundred pages of the book, I flew myself to buy their own copy, because such an epic nature should be to own!
"In the game, winning the throne, or die. There is no man's land. "
What can tell, "Game of Thrones" how not to play for the throne. Intrigue, conspiracies, betrayal, loyalty, madness ... All movements permitted. And how to take away from this magic, giants, and other miracles wilkory niewidy, you will get our real world of the Middle Ages. From honor to stupidity just one step.
For this we have a plethora of characters, in which the reader is completely lost in the first hundred pages. And when he starts to catch them ... can not tear himself away. That's when it comes time to choose your favorites and those we hate. And that impressed me the characters in Martin the most. The writer does not put labels on anyone "bad / good." Here the wise man can make a huge mistake, a fool saved the situation. The characters are thrown in various life situations and their choices are always very human, which makes the reader understands them perfectly. Each character has its own history, his experience, arguments and opinions. Any form can not be called a shallow and superficial, Martin has already made sure of it. And all the characters are very diverse, so that every reader will find in the "Game the throne of "something for everyone.
"Never forget who you are, because the world certainly will not forget about it. Make this your strength, and then cease to be your weak point. Make this your armor, and no one will use it against you. "
hard not to feel sympathy for Tyrion, a small dwarf star, which is not greater than one reason. A and the same number of reader might learn from him.
Jon Stark Eddarda bastard who loves his father and his brothers with all my heart, you can not not like it. The boy has plenty of charisma, and his youthful maximalist once put a smile on his face, and at other times of terror.
Little Bran Stark shows how great wisdom have had children. From Catelyn Stark let women learn to love their husbands. For example, the Sansa (a character who had an outstanding gift annoy me), you can see which sometimes leads to exaggerated dreams.
And now I'll tell you about my faworytach. Undeniable number one is Arya (and not by the coincidence of names ^ ^), daughter Lord Eddarda Stark, a little girl, who instead of balls, lace and embroidery, preferring horseback riding trousers and a sword. Arya ubiquitous, because they always and everywhere was full of it. Do not worry about what they say, was another, small, feisty girl who agility and cunning surpassed wielgachnych knights.
Her father, Eddard Stark, also took his place in my heart, but from the beginning itself that I did not notice. Extremely vivid and true character. Has the impression that in a moment will come from the pages of a book, sit down next to us and sigh heavily. Because life's dilemmas and difficult decisions most like to bother the great lords.
Nobel would give Martin for Daenerys, a girl, about which I read with bated breath from the very beginning of the book. She and her brother are the last descendants of the dragon family, exiled and deprived of almost everything. To regain the throne and to gain support and the people, the brother of the chief Daenerys seems almost wild tribe. What is it like to marry an animal with the appearance of man? Daenerys not only married Khala Expensive, but I tried to understand and accept himself and the culture of his people. Extremely strong woman at his side a strong man.
Yes, the "Game of Thrones" is an epic book in full meaning of the word. I can not say that it always keeps you in suspense, no. It is a bit long-winded, but it is beautiful. Apart from the mass of unusual characters and their actions, there are also their religion and gods. And I'll tell you that faith, I consider the most beautiful Starków paganism, about what I have read. There is also magic, and the frightening unknown, and mystic. These and wilkory - great wolf of wisdom in excess of many a man.
And until you want to remove the Martin hat. Because I fear to think how much work has cost him this book. The book beautiful and epic. The book, after you reach just worth it.
"The mind needs books as a sword needs sharpening stone."
