The magical world - books are more exciting than TV series

Writing an article requires passion. For example, after reading a wonderful novel, if you have the urge to write it down and share it with others, you must strike while the iron is hot. If something is delayed at that time and your passion is exhausted, write it again. Although the article is still on the same topic, it may be very different in terms of level and concept. I don't know if the "Song of Ice and Fire" I will write next will be like this.
I came into contact with "A Song of Ice and Fire" because I wanted to play the board game "Game of Thrones", but I couldn't play it if I didn't understand the story, so I came into contact with the first "A Song of Ice and Fire" from the TV series. Season, who would never let it go as soon as I get in touch, the grand story content, numerous character relationships, suspenseful plot development, complex human nature performance, and magical world of characters, all of which have deeply attracted me, I can't wait for the second When the season came, I bought the second book of "Clash of Kings". At this time, the second season started. I was very fortunate that I bought the second book first, because in the second season, there were a lot of things that did not appear in the first season. Characters, I can't understand just by watching the TV series. Thanks to this set of books, I can distinguish these characters clearly. After the characters are clearly distinguished, the story can be understood.

I admire the author's ability to write such a huge story. There are 7 kingdoms and countless faction branches. What attracts me is the fate of the characters I am interested in. I don't know what the ending is. I want to know the fate of Lady Catherine's young daughter, who never learns from female red and only loves swords, after she escaped from King's Landing where her father was killed; I want to know the fate of the illegitimate son of the Lord of Winterfell, Xue Ruo, who became the Night's Watch Afterwards, the envoy went to the outside of the Great Wall to meet the White Walkers; I also want to know the fate of the dwarf who worked hard for his family, but was abandoned after the victory of the family. What will he do, will he fight back? I'm curious.
This is another adult fantasy novel no less than "The Lord of the Rings", with huge creativity and imagination, making readers trapped in the world of works and unable to extricate themselves. Looks like I'm going to buy a third one.

The North Remembers quotes

  • [at the Chamber of the Painted Table, Stannis dictates a letter of declaration to Matthos Seaworth. Matthos reads the draft aloud]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and I declare upon the honor of my House, that my beloved brother Robert left...

    Stannis Baratheon: He wasn't "my beloved brother". I didn't love him. He didn't love me.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: A harmless courtesy, your Grace.

    Stannis Baratheon: A lie. Take it out.

    [Matthos erases the word "beloved"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...that my brother Robert left no trueborn heirs, the boy Joffrey, the boy Tommen, and the girl Myrcella, being born of incest between Cersi Lannister and her brother Jaime Lannister. By right of birth...

    Stannis Baratheon: Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. Call him what he is.

    [Matthos adds the words "the Kingslayer". Cressen secretly slips a poison pill into his wine cup. No one notices him except Davos]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and her brother Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim...

    Stannis Baratheon: Make it SER Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. Whatever else he is, the man's still a knight.

    [Matthos adds the word "Ser"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...Ser Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim to the Iron Throne of Westeros. Let all true men declare their loyalty.

    Stannis Baratheon: When Eddard Stark learnt the truth, he told only me. I'll not make the same mistake. Send copies of that letter to every corner of the realm, from the Arbor to the Wall. The time has come to choose. Let no man claim ignorance as an excuse.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: Your Grace, the Lannisters are the true enemy. If, for the time being, you could make peace with your brother...

    Stannis Baratheon: I'll not make peace with Renly while he calls himself king.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: But many have already declared for him. Mace Tyrell, Randyll Tarly...

    Melisandre: Stannis does not need to beg this lord or that lord for support, the Lord of Light stands behind him.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: And how many ships has the Lord of Light got in his fleet?

    Melisandre: He has no need for ships.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: I'm sure he doesn't, but we do if we're going to war. If not Renly, Your Grace, join forces with Robb Stark.

    Stannis Baratheon: Who'd steal the northern half of my kingdom. I've always served thieves according to their deserts, as you well know, Ser Davos. Joffrey, Renly, Robb Stark, they're all thieves. They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them.

  • Melisandre: Lord of Light, come to us in our darkness. We offer you these false gods. Take them and cast your light upon us, for the night is dark and full or terrors. After the long summer, darkness will fall heavy on the world. The stars will bleed. The cold breath of winter will freeze the seas... and the dead shall rise in the North.
