This series is about kids. Literally, there are full chapters dedicated solely to a 7 year old named Bran...and then more chapters dedicated to pre teens, and teens. Not only that, the kids in this book act like adults, far beyond their years.

WTF why is this dumb series so popular? If I wanted to read a fantasy book about kids I would read Chronicles of Narnia or Eragon. At least those books aren't as boring or shallow as A Game of Thrones.

Or read His Dark Materials, don't forget about that one.

Am debating between reading (well, listening to the audiobooks) of either this series or The Wheel of Time series, which should I choose?

read both instead of listening to one.

asoiaf is the better series, imo.
wot is a mixed bag. if you can survive the first three books, you'd probably like to read the second three. the last six, well, it's up to you.

so go with the asoiaf.

WoT is a watered down LotR, this is a watered down War of the Roses, take it how you will.

Rather than complaining about "it has kids" you should realise it takes child characters and makes them bearable.

Oh wait no, you're conceited.

>> No.697032

years in that world are a bit longer than they are here

plus, i don't think the kids really act much older than they are. Even the older ones have a lot of naive moments.

it's not that years are longer, it's just that seasons have nothing to do with time passing.
