It's crazy how different the portrayal of s3xual violence is from the show, men should not have been allowed to direct the series

Probably gonna finish this today. Going crazy for all the animal imagery, I love me some animal imagery that symbolises people and their squabbles

THE MEOW MEOW APPEARS

:))))))) (the themes are consuming my mind)

IM GETTING THERE...

Listen, I've watched the show. But the way Martin writes certain scenes and interactions is just chef kiss. I've teared up and tensed several times already. ASOIAF has been both criticised and praised to no end, so I don't have much to say beyond that but I am so thankful whenever the book actually makes me FEEL something - sadly, a rare occasion these days

it's quite honestly killing me, though, that one of my favourite scenes is an addition by the showrunners and not a part of the saga (not in this book, specifically). I'm actually already mourning that omission. Other than that, some issues aside, I cannot overstate how much I'm enjoying Martin's style after unsuccessfully approaching Sanderson yet again. I really should give up on giving the latter any more chances

Oh to stop a 12-year-old me from watching the show so I can enjoy the books like it's my first time reading them

I regrey to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying Martin's prose
