Game of Thrones: Costumes - The Official Book Seasons 1 - 8 by Michele Clapton

February 6, 2020 by Ale 2 Comments

Because Faintingviolet loves me and totally feeds my addictions, I was gifted this amazing costume reference guide from the Game of Thrones series for Christmas. Written by costumer, Michele Clapton herself, the book is almost as long and comprehensive as GRRM’s series. Complete with full color professional photographs, closeups of the costumes, and some of Clapton’s original drawings, this book was an excellent study in both costuming and the intense process that goes into bringing the written word to screen. Clapton goes through each of […]

Fire & Blood: Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah…

Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin

September 22, 2019 by xoxoxoe Leave a Comment

I loved Game of Thrones from its very first episode. I was as shocked as any non-reader of the series at its Psycho-like twist in its penultimate first season episode. As soon as I could I grabbed a copy of the first novel. I read the rest and watched the series rush to its inevitable conclusion. I wasn’t as put off as some folks by plot turns that I felt I had seen coming, or at least had been hinted at as very possible outcomes. […]

A Must Read for Any Game of Thrones Fan

Audible Sample Audible Sample The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin

April 12, 2019 by MarkAbaddon Leave a Comment

In preparation for the upcoming season of Game of Thrones, I purchased this rather large tome from Martin, along with Elio Garcia Jr. & Linda Antonsson (the people behind A Wiki of Ice and Fire). It is, unquestionably, worth the investment. This is not a new novel in the Game of Thrones world, but can be thought of as an encyclopedia of pretty much anything related to this world. Have a question on Naath, the home of Missandei? Look it up here. Always wanted to […]

Decline and Fall of the Targaryen Empire

Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin

November 28, 2018 by Jake Leave a Comment

If you’re a Song of Ice and Fire fan, you’ve got to read this, no questions asked. It’s a detailed history of how the Targaryen takeover of Westeros actually happened. Not written in the style of a Ice/Fire book, it reads like an old man transcribing a large history tome, which was obviously Martin’s intention. This book hit every expectation I had, though I was disappointed to see it’s only volume one in a two-book series and thus didn’t cover the two kings I’m most interested in learning about: […]

GoT Fanfiction in Two Parts: Snark and SRSLY! OR, why we get drunk and know things

The Golden Dynasty (Book 2 of the Fantasyland Series) by Kristen Ashley

August 20, 2016 by PattyKates 4 Comments

*This one needs a disclaimer and a trigger warning. In an attempt to rationalize the thought process behind the idea that a romance novel could employ the tropes that this one does (Enemies to lovers, Kidnapped, Marriage of convenience, Mistaken identity and Victim falls for rapist) and still find a welcoming readership, there may be a bit of Devil’s Advocate stances tossed about. Please note: this is strictly an exercise in disambiguation and a genuine attempt to understand how this story could be conceived, presented […]

I was into this before Hipsters ruined my ability to revel in my early adoption of a pop culture staple.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin

February 11, 2016 by ingres77 2 Comments

First things first: I’m going to be that person. I first read A Game of Thrones in 1998, and I was primed for the experience. I cut my teeth on Tolkien before devouring all the epic fantasy I could get my teenage hands on. David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan, Tad Williams, Terry Goodkind…..I thought that these series represented what the fantasy genre was. I’d never even heard of Gene Wolfe. I’d never imagined that something like A Game of Thrones could exist. Which seems […]
