ASOIAF is a phenomenal series. I devoured the five books in high school in under a month. Had ample time and energy then. I read in class. During lunch. At home. Have reread many times and i enjoy it every time. I love Martins prose, his subtle build ups, and the earned character arcs.

[@gingercatqueen4368]

These books are long but are so good that I fall right into them and I can pass HOURS without realizing it. I read them for the first time in 2012 and I’ve reread them once a year since. Hoping that each time I finish Dance, Winds of Winter will be released. 😂

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

Yes you're right, it's like a time warp when reading them as the hours pass by so quickly! Honestly I'm losing hope that Winds of Winter will ever be released haha

[@gingercatqueen4368]

@@BeckyDoesBlog I haven’t. I might be delusional but this series holds a special place in my heart. I understand why others have given up on the next book. I just can’t give up hope. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

@@gingercatqueen4368 I need to be more like you 😂 I’m sure it will be worth the wait regardless of how long it takes to be released

[@savelala]

Jon Snow is my favorite character too. It's funny because "A Feast for Crows" is my second favorite book and this character doesn't have a point of view there haha. But I just love the events of this book and the introduction to Dorne. House Martell is my favorite house and Dorne is the most interesting region for me. I also really like the Tyrells(maybe my second favorite house), so this book serves me well in that regard.

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

@@savelala Jon Snow is a great character, glad to hear he’s a favourite of yours too! Ironic that you love Feast For Crows yet he doesn’t feature in it at all haha 😂 I agree with you that the introduction to Dorne is really interesting. I’m hopeful that we’ll hear more from the Martell’s in Winds of Winter (if it’s ever released!) because the preview chapters so far progress their storyline a little bit! Thank you for commenting :)

[@davidviggiano2977]

Get why u werent into feast but wasn't the character work like a 10 there too? Loved Jaime chapters next to Cersei chapters

[@dablackangel]

A Feast For Crows is my favourite in the series

[@DK-ru9dt]

You mentioned that GRRM has released sample chapters of The Winds of Winter, do you have any plans on reading those? Also there's the Dunk & Egg short stories which are some of the best work he's published

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

Yes I want to read the sample chapters, I’m surprised I haven’t already to be honest! Ooh I’m very intrigued by the Dunk & Egg stories, I’ve heard little bits about them but it’s on my list to read so I’m looking forward to it

[@ccorvid]

the dunk & egg book is great! some people read it between Storm & Feast, since that's when it was written, & Brienne is actually a descendant of Dunk!

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

@@ccorvid I’ve recently just finished reading the Dunk & Egg stories like a week ago haha and it was amazing, I enjoyed it from start to finish! I loved Dunk so it’s amazing to think that Brienne is a descendent of him, they have some character similarities which I like 😊

[@clownpendotfart]

You say he doesn't release books quickly, but the first three were published from 1996 to 2000. It's since the Clinton administration that he slowed down, only publishing 3 Bran chapters in the decades since.

[@AlmaAthenas]

I recently finish the series for the first time and started watching HOD with my diehard fan of ASOIAF bf, I loved it and for the last month I've been watching channels dedicated to the series, books, and theories, you are the first woman I see reviewing it, and would love to see your POV on both book and tv series with more detail on the events.

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

Thank you for the comment and watching the video! I've literally just finished watching HOD season 2 episode 1 and want to upload a review on it because I have so many thoughts haha.

[@muhammadayyaz1253]

I've just started the series and you've given me a lot of courage to finish it one day!😂

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

Good luck! 😂 Hope you enjoy it

[@booktubeadvocate]

I read the books back to back and loved them! But I understand why you wanted to take breaks between each book as each entry is humongous. I do believe it’s worth rereading these books though, as especially A Feast for Crows comes alive on a reread when you catch on so many of the intricate plot threads that take place in Dorne and the Iron Islands. Also, as a person who read the books before watching the show, I don’t think you need to watch the show as it dumbs down quite a bit of the material that takes place in the books. There are rumors we may see an announcement for Winds of Winter soon! Are you looking forward to it?

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

Yes I loved the books too, you're right that I needed to take breaks though because they're so huge! I would love to re-read them again, it'll be interesting to read them knowing what already happens. Thank you for your opinion on the show, I'll watch it because I feel left out knowing everybody else has watched it haha, but I know the books are much better. I'm very excited for any Winds of Winter announcement, we've been waiting long enough! Are you excited for it too?

[@booktubeadvocate]

@@BeckyDoesBlog Yes! If rumors are true that George will be announcing Winds after House of the Dragon Season 2, then I’ll be very excited! It’s been a book 13+ years in the making 😅

[@ChezSJ]

So glad you enjoyed the series! I agree with you on a few negative points. Here’s hoping that TWOW and ADOS will see a release. Your video has now inspired me to go back and reread the books 😊

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

Thank you for watching my video! Glad it's made you want to re-read them, I already want to re-read them too haha

[@carlogiurizzato2441]

you should absolutely do a reaction of the tv show, good way to get the following, also maybe discussing some theory of yours about the plot mysteries of the series, love your review

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

That’s a great idea, thank you for the suggestion and for watching the video!

[@Mmb1444]

Love your review! You should totally react to the show! Also when i read it, i felt the violence was always to show the standing mentality of a character and their environment to the reader, i never felt as if it didnt have a purpose. But I've also read the books more than once, and there is soooo much you dont connect the first time around. I loved the books regardless!

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

@@Mmb1444 I definitely want to react to the show, I’m going to start watching it soon! Yes I think you’re completely right, I want to re-read the whole series because I think there will be things I missed the first time and I’ll see things from a different perspective!

[@ededdandeddytv5164]

Just finished the first book. So f***ing good. And then I’m reminded the series is unfinished and will most likely stay unfinished 😔

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

@@ededdandeddytv5164 It’s such a shame, isn’t it 😔 it doesn’t take away from the fact that the books are incredible though and the whole series so far is great!

[@CNTconnoisseur]

You need to read the 3 short prequel novelas, The Tales of Dunk and Egg.

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

@@CNTconnoisseur Thank you for the recommendation, I read them after filming this video and absolutely loved them! They have such a different light-hearted vibe to ASOIAF

[@annmasalskaya6673]

It would be great to see your reactions to the series😊I've watched the show so many times and love it so much. Now I'm finally reading the books (the second book).

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

Once House of the Dragon is finished I really want to watch the GOT show, will film my reactions to each season and big events! So excited, hope you're enjoying the books. The character building just gets better and better :)

[@annmasalskaya6673]

@@BeckyDoesBlog I'm looking forward to your reactions:)

[@ccorvid]

ive seen a couple GoT reactions now, but I don't think many of them have read the books first! I think most asoiaf book lovers decide not to watch the show, or only watch clips, so it'll be interesting to see the videos you put out! doing a reread and watch through around same time could be fun haha

[@BeckyDoesBlog]

@@ccorvid That’s a great idea, watching the show alongside rereading would be so interesting to see the comparisons! I’m glad I’ve read the whole book series first before watching the show because I feel like a lot of people do it the other way round 😆

when you say FIRE fck its so hot
