A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book One by R.R. Martin

I need to be more prompt on writing these. It’s been several weeks since I finished GoT and I’m trying to remember what I thought about it…

It’s good. It’s above average fantasy, not that I’m an expert on fantasy. What have I read? Some Piers Anthony a lifetime ago… the Myth Adventures series… Spellsinger series… Thieves World series… Discworld… these are all mostly Goofy Fantasy, if that’s a term.

So I’m not an aficionado. But GoT is good, it has some interesting characters. The dwarf, who is not a Dwarf, but actually a human of small stature, kind of made this worth it. He had a sense of humor, and didn’t take himself too seriously, which characters in fantasy novels tend to do. The tomboy princess was also fun.

I don’t know if I’ll keep going with the series. I’m not dying to find out what happens, but the journey is enjoyable enough I might check in on it now and then.
