The dwarf Lannister was in the mountain with Caitlin and her sister (with the weird 6 year old baby king) and they were about to fight for the dwarfs freedom. It was definitely setting the scene for a lot of future conflict.

Probably Eddard Stark and Jon Snow were my favourite in this book. I liked all the different points of view. I had some issues with how many characters were introduced, especially secondary characters! By the end of this book I could recall all of the main characters (I think) but all the Lannisters! Too many. I found this book to be similar in writing style to Lord of the Rings. Germanophilia no-hablo-inglГ©s novels-novellas-short-stories I suppose I will at least have to finish the next volume, just for completionвЂ™s sake. Curiously, the German translation breaks each volume in half, so this one ends at a completely arbitrary point in the story.

So it is a pleasure to relive the series in this format, especially since I can practice German in the process. Though, like so many, I was disappointed at the final seasons of the show, I greatly enjoyed most of its run. The correspondence of chapter to scene in nearly one to one. Each chapter follows a different character performing a decisive action, in just the same way that a show progresses scene by scene. One can see how the showвЂ™s producers transformed this book into such a popular hit, since MartinвЂ™s style is already cinematographic. Indeed, I thought that the book and the program were remarkably similar. Even though I have never read MartinвЂ™s original book, I was quite familiar with the HBO series, which proved to be enough background for me to follow the story. One of my favorite strategies for learning a language is to read something I am already familiar with, translated into the target language.
