I did enjoy the books(although I didn't finish the series but I have them altoghether in a plastic bag, they are just paperbacks). Although, I felt most were on their own journey if they weren't to stay put to rule (and no one knew how long that might be). He certainly knew how to put the grit in his stories. I really felt he made his female characters EQUALS for the most part. Really it was a tale of light and darkness. I really enjoyed this post! And in reality I would pick a direwolf over a dragon anyday.<br /><br /><br><a href="https://caitlinnmegan.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Caitlin&Megan</a><br><a href="https://bonjourivyparker.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ivy&Ellie</a><br><a href="https://csats.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Carefully Listening</a><br><a href="https://elliencompany.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ellie</a><br><a href="http://colingrayfanfic.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Book Group</a><br><a href="https://itmeansnothingtome.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Holly&Stevie</a><br><a href="https://thislonnielove.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Cherry Blossoms</a><br><a href="https://heathandnick.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Better Left Unsaid</a><br /><br />elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854933369544818739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-15184049533679594092019-01-14T10:59:29.561-08:002019-01-14T10:59:29.561-08:00Love this post!

You might, possibly avoid betrayal - so long as you take care not to have any close friends or lovers, either...

Hence all these prequels. <br /><br />He wouldn’t be the only author to do this sort of thing. Isobelle Carmody’s Obernewtyn series took a very long time to finish - and she left the Legendsong trilogy on a cliffhanger at the end of Book 2, around 16 years ago. Apparently she had gotten about 400 pages in, but that was some time ago. I suspect it was the publishers wanting her to finish this and that before Legendsong. Possibly the same with GRRM?
