Your fluffy companion is adorable! ❤ I never thought you looked like Melisandre, but now I think that you actually have something in common with the actress. 😁 For me, Shae from the books and Shae from the show are two completely different persons (both in appearance and by nature). So, maybe, it would be easier to accept TV Shae if you don't compare them. By the way, personally I always found TV Shae more likeable. I hope, in future you will like her too. )) P. S. Sorry for my English. It's not my native language, so I can make mistakes from time to time.

Loving that you enjoyed the book - at least when you're not crying, I feel you. 🥲 I've enjoyed your review, looking forward to see your reviews for her other books as well. ❤

Horrendous ending! Stannis character was portrait well as a man with principles in the scene with the drafting of the letter: "I didn't love my brother, take it out" and "make it Jaime Lannister, the kingslayer", followed by "Ser Jaime Lannister, the kingslayer". We also met one of the topactresses of our country: Carice van Houten plays Melissandre, not a main character regrettably, but we are represented. All the best from the Netherlands!

Happy you listened to us : 1 video by épisode.🎉 4:58 Sorry you didn't listen to Tyrion's best revenge on Cersei being the "disappointing child".😢

The killing of the bastards hits hard at the end of the episode and I remember it was unclear to me who ordered it. Was it Cersei, Joffrey or someone else? Later I noticed that the music playing during the sequence is a more agressive version of the theme played when King Robert entered Winterfell at the beginning of S1. This reworking of the king's theme is the show "telling" Joffrey ordered the massacre.

Oh, Craster's Keep giving "cozy Christmas vibes". Yes, that's probably the true Santa Claus story ;) One thing I still hope the books will uncover: I suspect Craster's Keep was built by the Night's Watch, not by one man asking for an axe and his daughters.

7:09 "She's leading him on again. Big no no". Few people understand the character that early on. That's why they hated the way some things turned out later on or cheered when she "liberated" brainwashed soldiers into fighting for her.

Is Bran cool or boring? Well, book readers know that Bran is a main character. He even has the first point of view chapter after the prologue, making him as close as possible to THE main character, the one readers are first invited to identify with or feel for. And yet he is mostly an observer going through things and trying to make sense of them, more a couch potatoe carried around by the action than an active character with relatable motives except "try not to die".

I am looking forward to the point when you'll think quality starts going down. There is no consensus about it, as it depends very much on what aspects people care about. I couldn't watch S2 the day after I finished S1. I had to order the DVD set and wait until it came...

Idk the books but I feel like the starks kind of treat Theon poorly. And to be fair, it makes complete sense that he would side with his actual family. I mean especially back then, your blood and family meant so much more. It makes me question people’s logic when they hate Theon or don’t understand where he is coming from. They probably hate him because he’s also a sex craved boy. But even then, you can tell he really likes Roz. Also, didn’t know this till recently but I think the actress who played shae did porn before joining the show. Not 100 percent about that but I feel like read that on a game of thrones subreddit. Not that it matters. I mainly mention it because the character feels very cold or kind of emotional about some things. Idk. It’s hard to explain. There is just something off about her. She’s got kind of a girl boss attitude but she isn’t really that likeable.

I thought I'd check out five or so minutes worth but dang I got caught up all over again in yer verbalage.

GRRM talked about the showrunners killing off characters faster because of budgets, but on the flip side you'll be seeing a lot more of some characters than you see in the books since those actors can't just disappear for seasons and then be expected to come back. Rob is already a change since I don't remember him in the second book at all.

i will concede that Melisandre was visually distracting to my keeping the plot sorted (dumb boy mind). and now that i'm paying attention, i can see the resemblance. my only "advice" for your perspective of having read the book ahead of the plot/episode is that the character hasn't come to the moment in question... yet. Theon, is truly Rob's chosen brother, now and *always. 😉 good times!

Looking forward to all of your Season 2 reactions! Don't be too surprised to see a few plot points come out of order. You will find some things from the first book in the second and third seasons, some things from the second book in the 3rd and 5th seasons, and so on. Yes, you will see Ygritte in Season 2, played by Rose Leslie. When you decide if you like her for the part or not, you may want to consider that real life Rose Leslie didn't shoot Kit Harrington with her arrow, but evidently Cupid did, because the actors are now happily married with two children.

OMG the bunny needs to feature more

love your reactions. you actually do resemble Melisandre , both of y'all fine asf lol no simp shitt

The Night is Dark and full of Terrors, The Day is Light and full of Shite.

Is it about the bunny??? It's not about the bunny. ......Is it about the bunny??

9:04 1) Is that a rabbit? It's so cute. Let me guess: Is that Ser Pounce's companion Ser Bounce

Don’t stress, it’s literally only the last episode that’s bad.

I guarantee Stanis will grow on you the Actor does a great job and even gets older, thinner, grumpy as seasons go on. Yes they cast Davos and the Red women perfectly. Bet you love who they cast for Egrit!!! A Clash of Kings best book!!!

That's quite an interesting choice of Clash of Kings as your favourite book, most people would choose a Storm of Swords as their favourite for obvious reasons lol I personally can't say that I consider the second book to be my favorite but mainly because I dislike Dany's Qarth chapters and even Tyrion's King's Landing arc and Ghost of Harrenhall couldn't turn it to my favorite

Bran's direwolf is indeed Summer! And "Bran" and "boring" both start with the letter 'b' so that's my opinion of him 😅 Personally, I'm not a fan of the Littlefinger/Cersei scene as I think it diminishes LF's "cunning" personality if Cersei is able to easily get the upper hand on him like that. Also, Joffrey's actor (Jack Gleeson) is one of the sweetest people in the world in real life and he does a fantastic job in portraying Joffrey! However, unfortunately he got a lot of death threats from some people because they couldn't separate the actor from the character. Anyway, nice reaction! 😁

love your content!

Yep, this is not gonna disappoint. Thank you for doing this for each episode. Its funny that after you said someone mentioned you look like Melisandre i now see a combination of her (Carice van Houten), Sansa (Sophie Turner), and a hint of Cersei (Lena Headey) all wrapped up in one beautiful package. I cant wait for the story to progress but at the same time i know ill be sad when the trip is finished. Take care and hope you are having a great holiday season.

Its a 30fps video but I can tell your TV is doing these ugly 60fps interpolations 😭

What did you think to Season 2 Episode 1?!

We’re already at S2?

I Wont give spoilers but edmure tully's bow shooting might suprise you by how diferent from books

im so glad these subgenres are getting the same hype as romantasy on the internet shorts...political fantasy is my favourite... thenk you

Well this was certainly a rollercoaster video: first The Gentleman Bastard Sequence... that's a strong start, I bought the box set earlier this year (and I intend to join your book club). After that we have some classic Robin Hobb with the new gorgeous covers which I'm in the process of collecting even though I already own the first three trilogies in mass-market paperbacks from way back. Good good, let's see what's next... Fourth Win... (gets hit by a truck). It has dragons she says. Yeeees it indeed has dragons and it has their riders and they're doing something... Oh boy. All I'm going to say is I hope you like it. Ok ok a bit unexpected I wonder what else... IT?!? Rebecca Yarros and Stephen King? Side by side? In the same video? Wait, did YT just skip between different videos? Wow, I... have no words left. 😵‍💫 I bought entirely too many books this year. The whole Malazan series, the whole Expanse series, almost all the Hobb books from The Realm of the Elderlings (I'm only missing The Rain Wilds Chronicles), two sets of Dandelion Dynasty (one paperback and one Broken Binding Midnight edition), some Tchaikovsky books, I'm still waiting for a few special editions that I bought as a New Year gift for myself,... I may have a problem?

count me in for the book club and live

as a female thank you for hauling this underrated books i see romantasys and booktok ones associated with females and nothing wrong but i dont like the stereotypes that they like only one type of subgenre it even gives hope to young girls in choosing the right books that dont put females as per the toxic male gaze

That’s amazing, I’ll definitely join the book club.

The dragon books are on my tbr too Im takling my series books in my phone library (pooor me I used to have real books in my previous home in my home country but now that im abroad Its kinda expensive where I am) so i have 250ich books in pdf form. Im currently about to finish the 4th book of ACOTAR and attack the last. I got the book club one (also pdf) and maybe Ill read it after ACOTAR. Otherwise I just search for the ones I see good review of or tandomly stumble upon if the main subject and the cover appeals to me (im a cover book girl too😂) Love, Sarah 🇹🇳

I really hope you love The Lies of Locke Lamora, it's my all time favourite fantasy book

After languishing on my bookcase for years, you managed to get The Lies of Lock Lamora on my January TBR. And now all my First Law books are mean mugging it since it jumped before them and they have been there longer. I got Assassin's Apprentice on a good sale a couple weeks ago, but that one has to sit and wait. I'm right in the middle of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams and I've decided I have to at least finish that before I check out Robin Hobb. I have a feeling those two books are going to be similar in setting and writing style and while I like to read multiple books at once since I am a such a mood reader, I don't like to read two books that are too similar at once. So I should be starting To Green Angel Tower by the end of the month/next month and finish those two books by the end of February. Also I've been reading through Bernard Cornwell's Last Kingdom series a book a month all year and next month will bring me to the twelfth book in this fourteen book series. These are historical fiction based around the founding of Britain and they are all short snappy reads. Not sure what else I might next month. I might do Revenant X, the sequel to Paradise 1, a sci-fi horror book I read earlier this year and really liked.

Shameless plug of the book club! Love it

Iron flame when?

Reading the three musketeers at the moment got a game of thrones lined up next looking forward to it

i finished the books last week, took me 1 year to read them all (i read really slow), and now i'm currently watching season 1. i find it really interesting the way the show portrays the world in such realistic approach, because while reading the books i've always imagined the cities and clothing in a more fantastical style. the only part that bothers me a little is how they aged some characters. although I think it makes sense to do it with dany, for example, I don’t really like seeing robb and jon as grown men, considering they were only 14 in AGOT. anyway, it's not a major problem and i'm really enjoying watching the show so far. sorry for any gramatical error, i'm still learning english

I feel like the strongest evidence of GRRMs skill at perspective is when Bran sees Cersei and Jaime. He is 7 and doesn't know what he is seeing and talks of their wrestling. He truly sounds 7.

I started reading just prior to the release of the show. I tried to keep ahead of the show, but failed. So the summer between series I vowed to finish AGOT, and finish ACOK before season 2 started. I failed again, but something happened in the middle of ACOK and Season 2, I became completely engaged in the book and had a hard time putting it down. By the end of Season 2, I was into AFFC, and never looked back. I had re-read the series before season 3, and did so again for 4 and 5. The show started to lose my interest there after. I continued to watch through the completion, but was more and more disappointed. The last episode was especially excruciating. But I’ve re-read the series a few times in the ensuing years and am eagerly awaiting TWOW and, fingers crossed, ADOS. Overall I find both the books and the show immensely entertaining.

I just finished the books! Start somewhere in July and finished the 5 books + TWOW preview chapters 1 December. Having already watched the show multiple times, AGOT sticked 95% to books, ACOK 80%, ASOS 70%~. They did not adapt AFFC and ADWD new plot lines and garbages the characters later on…. I loved AFFC the most as the show did not adapt it, though ASOS is hands down the best! Currently I am in depression with ASOIAF finished and George unlikely to finish let alone deliver TWOW especially after yesterday nights bomb :( Yet I hope he releases TWOW….

Oh just wait the season 8

I watched the entire TV show of 8 seasons before reading any of the books. And I finished A Game of Thrones like a month ago and am currently reading Clash of Kings, and to me it feels there is so much more story, detail and better explinations of things happening then the show could ever have. It honsetly feels like an updated version of the show stroy and sometimes feels like I'm reading a new story that makes me understand what's happening a thousand times more. Now I consider the books to be the real canon story and consider some parts of the show non canon.

I absolutely love the fact that A Knight of the Seven Kingdom is your number one. I don’t really understand why it doesn’t get a high rating that often! It definitely deserves more recognition. And you’re not alone in this. A Clash of Kings is also my favorite. Catelyn, Tyrion and Sansa’s chapters are just >>>

I watched the show first then eventually read the books. In retrospect I think the the earlier seasons especially season 1 were adapted perfectly towards the end though after reading the books I felt underwhelmed by how the show ends off in retrospect. There’s a few plot lines left out and new ones added (I won’t spoil the series for you) but I think it really impacted the conclusion to the story that I think Martin will wrap up perfectly in his novels much better than the show. As for the show itself I think the first 1-5 season are some of the best television ever made.

GRRM will never finish.. no point in reading the books
