13 more hours of Game of Thrones….
The countdown has begun… Game of Thrones show creator David Benioff has told the world: “It’s two more seasons we’re talking about[.] From pretty close to the beginning, we talked about doing this in 70-75 hours, and that’s what we’ll end up with. Call it 73 for now.” We’ve already had 60 hours, so this means that […]
Game of Thrones: Content vs. Delivery
I’ve just finished the fourth episode of the current season and I’m more engaged with both the show and the world of A Song of Ice and Fire than I have been since A Dance With Dragons was published in 2011. This renewed interest in Mr. Martin’s world is 100% attributable to the fact that […]
Oh, actually, 8 Seasons…
In what I see as a complete U-Turn, HBO’s President, Michael Lombardo, he is now saying that Game of Thrones will go at least eight seasons. I must admit that this does genuinely frustrate me as a fan of the television series. For years HBO and the writers have told us that they’ve always planned for […]
Frodor’s Travel Guide to Westeros
See what I did there? Fodor’s and Frodo. Get it? Like the travel guide and the hobbit. You know, from Lord of the Rings? Right, anyway. This is the first installment of our guide. Over the coming months, we’ll be looking at the hottest fantasy vacation spots. First up is Frodor’s travel pick of the […]
‘A Game of Thrones’ without Dragons?
Imagine if the gift of A Song of Ice & Fire was never given to the fantasy genre. Yes, it was, but humour me for a minute… In my eyes, George R.R. Martin has to be thanked extensively for this contribution to the current state of fantasy. Think about it: would we be seeing the current stream of […]
Game of Thrones: TV To Overtake Books?
Since Game of Thrones for television was first announced, questions about whether the books would be able to keep up with the rate at which HBO produced episodes were asked. Despite Martin having a 4 book head start, it seems that the producers of the show, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, feel that seven series in […]
Get Fit watching Game of Thrones
So, I was reading Men’s Fitness Magazine today when I came across a Game of Thrones fitness game. I guess you wouldn’t generally consider watching your favourite television series as capable of benefiting your exercise (you usually watch it whilst sprawled out on the sofa eating pizza and sipping coke/beer, right?), however, the magazine has […]
Game of Thrones Season 4: Trailer
The trailer for season 4 of Game of Thrones is up and available to be enjoyed! The trailer begins with the deluded King Joffrey celebrating his recent marriage to Margaery Tyrell and declaring that “They know I saved the city, they know I won the war,” before Jaime Lannister tells the truth of it: “The […]
Game of Thrones Return Date is…
Well, we knew it would be around this kind of time, but during a press tour HBO have announced that the fourth series of Game of Thrones will hit HBO screens on 6 April 2014 (USA) and Sky Atlantic on 9 April 2014 (UK). Additionally, the first trailer of the new season will be unveiled […]
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
Fifteen years ago a civil war known as Robert’s Rebellion rocks the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and brings about the downfall of the powerful Targaryen family, who had ruled for 300 years. Supported by the great houses of Stark and Lannister, Robert Baratheon, Lord of the Stormlands, fought a bloody uprising that culminated in the […]
A Feast of Ice and Fire by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer
Having spotted this on the Inn at the Crossroads blog, I was utterly intrigued and decided I simply had to add it to my reviews list. Firstly because it was being published by Random House, and not by Harper who publish A Song of Ice and Fire, and I was curious about why, and secondly […]
