A Song of Fire and Ice series

[penggai]

I posted this last week on the Game of Thrones thread. Forgot to post this here

Ok... So... I'm currently reading A Storm of Swords and I just met Beric Dondarrion and let me just say... Melisandre can do that to Jon Snow too, right? I already know what happens in A Dance with Dragons. And I think...

Jon Snow has to 'die'. Kunwari lang namatay sya para makaalis na sya sa Night's Watch at makabalik sa Winterfell as Lord Jon Stark. Parang telenovela lang, hahaha!!! Saka feeling ko Jon Snow's meant for something more than just being stuck on the Wall

Anyway, I'm finally done with the RW...

Just finish book 5 at wala na kong mababasa.

Any recommendation na bagong mababasa na fantasy?

Try looking for Tales of Dunk and Egg: The Hedge Knight (1), The Sworn Sword (2), and The Mystery Knight (3)

They're novellas set years before A Song of Ice and Fire series. Dunk is Ser Duncan the Tall of the Kingsguard. At si Egg is Aegon V, brother of Aemon Targaryen. Siya yung sinabihan ni Master Aemon na Kill the boy and let the man be born.

ewan ko kung nabasa mo na mga to

Prince of Nothing Series by Bakker
- mas gusto ko na to sa ASOIAF
- very dark, lots of philosophical sh!t
- I love the sorcerous philosophical singing battles

Thanks for recommending this one dude. Challenging basahin kasi you are plunged right away into the story and a world with places and names that are hard to pronounce

Nasa first book pa lang ako. Very intrigued with Keelhus, antagal uli ng POV niya. Good thing there are the Ikureis where their chaptes are a page-turner. I don't know if this is the right thing to say, but I feel bored reading Achamian's chapters esp. kapag kasama si Esmenet.

Conphas and Cnaiur are my favorites

and yea, this series is very slow, but deeper than your average fantasy
I'll say this and Gene Wolfe's books are bordering on literature

and Achamian's chapters get really good when he starts... singing
which is still in book 2 iirc

[SenClayDavis]

actually katatapos ko lang basahin yung The Warrior-Prophet ngayong araw. Astig nga yung chapter na yun. A naked middle-aged sorcerer is now more bada$$ in my books than an unburnt naked Khaleesi.

I found Cnaiur brooding too much, nakakainis pero unique ang character niya: A highly-intelligent barbarian. He's a weeper though.

Going to start A Thousandfold Thought tonight. Mami-meet ko na ba dito si Moenghus?

Martin Talks 'Game Of Thrones,' 'The Winds Of Winter'

As "Game of Thrones" enjoys the success of a record-breaking season, author George R.R. Martin is hoping to maintain his head start on the series starting with his next "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel, "The Winds of Winter."

HBO renewed the hit fantasy series earlier this year for a third season based on his novel "A Storm of Swords." Filming will start this summer and will include a return to Belfast, Northern Ireland; Croatia, representing parts of King’s Landing; and Iceland.

Series executive producers David Benioff ("Troy," "The Kite Runner") and D.B. Weiss signed contracts to return for two more seasons; although, the network has yet to announce a Season 4 pickup.

However, with additional season pickups likely considering the show's success, Martin is attempting to buckle down and finish his novels before HBO catches up.


"I'm working on that, and a number of 'Ice and Fire' related things at the same time," Martin recently said in an interview with HBO. "Not only 'The Winds of Winter,' which is Book 6, but we're also coming out with a big concordance called 'The World of Ice and Fire,' which is about the whole history of Westeros and will be lavishly illustrated. … We've also been doing a map book, and I'm working on a new novella about Dunk and Egg, the prequel series I have."

Martin admits his writing style is a slow process, especially with the size and complexity of his books.

"I am aware of the TV series moving along behind me like a giant locomotive, and I know I need to lay the track more quickly, perhaps, because the locomotive is soon going to be bearing down on me," he said. "The last thing I want is for the TV series to catch up with me. I've got a considerable head start, but production is moving faster than I can write. I'm hoping that we'll finish the story at about the same time ... we'll see.

"Sometimes I make the decisions wrongly. My process as a writer is not one of thoroughly outlining ahead of time, which can result in my muse leading me down blind alleys and dead ends. … So then I have to double back and rewrite and so forth. It's almost a subconscious thing -- when it's right, it feels right, and when it doesn't feel right, I keep niggling at it until it does."

Regardless, the series continued to enchant its television audience this year. "Valar Morghulis," the Season 2 finale, pulled in 5.1 million viewers June 3 when including the encore, and for the first time the series attracted over four million viewers, 4.2 million in all, during its initial airing.

Season 2 maintained stable ratings since its debut April 1. Initial episode airings have averaged 3.7 million viewers, with 10.4 million watching when factoring in all platforms and encores. This achievement places the series as the third most popular program in HBO's history.
