is this going to be better than ASOS?

>> No.6617901

Oh boy, is it time for 800 pages of irrelevant side characters being introduced out of nowhere intersperced with 200 pages of protagonists cleaning their toenails already?

>> No.6617904

Well on the one hand I can't imagine genre fiction shittier than his other books but on the other hand if any writer can write something shittier it would be him. tough call.

is this the new /pleb general/ thread?

Won't everyone just be inside all the time due to snow? I can imagine it having the slowest moving plotlines of all his books.

No it's written like fanfiction and the dialogue is cringe worthy. Every chapter is a chore where Martin parades his shitty prose talking about the great war of the fathers pig fathers that happened in the land of the undying fathers and other trivial banalities that never become relevant.

If you like good fantasy look elsewhere.

It's a good series.

People here who talk shit on it either haven't read the books, or have read the books and hate themselves for like them.

Your argument implies ad populum. "If so many people like it it must be good! and anyone who says they don't like it is surely a contrarian"

I suppose coldplay and the avengers movies are also really good too huh?

>this series is so good that literally everyone likes it, but only some act like they dont.

thats basically what you're saying. i perosnally like the show, but i think its hyped to a degree. as for the books, they are insufferable. I read the first one and gave it back to my friend, telling him i had no desire to read the next one.

/lit/ talks about the western canon, a collection of over a hundred of the greatest books ever written. many of us would be open to talking about good fantasy, but GoT does not fall into that category.

Yeah it's the best book of the series. Seasons 3 and 4 of the TV show are mainly based around it.

If you wanna talk about manchild books with other manchildren why not go back to the GoT general threads on /tv/ (where we all know you came from) or to r/fantasy or r/books. this board is for literature, not fanfiction tier genre trash.
