A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel

by Daniel Abraham (Adaptation)

Daniel Abraham's acclaimed adaptation of George R. R. Martin's fantasy classic continues!   In Winterfell, Bran, troubled by strange dreams of a three-eyed crow, learns from Maester Luwin of the children of the forest, the original inhabitants of Westeros. But his lesson is interrupted by another bird-a raven, bearing grim news from King's Landing: Lord Eddard is dead. Meanwhile, it is to that once-proud city, now stained with blood and madness, that Tyrion Lannister is dispatched by his father, Tywin, to rule as regent for the young king Joffrey. And across the sea, Daenerys learns that her son is dead . . . and her husband worse than dead.

Some impacting moments:
“Dreams. I dreamed about the three-eyed crow again last night. He led me down to the crypts. Father was there. He was sad.” - Bran

{He told her of Jon Stark, … of Theon Stark, … of Brandon the Shipwright, … of Rodrik Stark, … of Torrhen Stark, … and of his grandfather Lord Rickard …} - Bran to Osha.

“Peace? There's your peace, Ser Harys. My sweet nephew broke it for good and all when he ornamented the Red Keep with Lord Eddard's head.”
“You'll have an easier time drinking from that cup than making peace with Robb Stark now.” - Tyrion

“A khal who cannot ride is no khal.”

Yet another obvious error: “Whipers and rumors.” should be 'Whispers'.

I less enjoyed the reading of this comic than the previous ones. To my taste, there wasn't enough action. Nothing obvious happened and I thought there was a lot of length. That's why it took me so long to read it. I still look forward to finishing this series with the next comic.

J'ai moins apprécié la lecture de cette bd que les précédentes. À mon goût, il n'y avait pas suffisamment d'action. Rien de flagrant n'arrivait et je trouvais qu'il y avait beaucoup de longueur. C'est pour cette raison qu'il m'a pris autant de temps pour le lire. J'ai tout de même hâte de finir cette série avec la prochaine bd.

"When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
When the sea goes dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves.
When your womb quickens again and you bear a living child.
Then he will return, and not before" - Maegi
