As I understand it, publishers told him that a War of the Roses series would not do well on the market so he drafted in the War of the Roses story with the story of the Others. As a result I think we have several interesting stories...Bran, John and Arya and some not so interesting storylines...everyone else. I am tired and somewhat bored with the "War of the Roses" storyline and I really only care about the interesting story of the Others (Bran and John). Problem is George really loves the "War of the Roses" storyline. The Feast of Crows was not orginally planned for the series because it didnt move the general story forward. George decided to write it anyway because it was more of what he had drafted in the orginal War of the Roses series.
I am afraid if he doesnt get on with the interesting story, the Others, he will lose me as a reader. I can only read so many pages of senseless death and destruction before I am out. BTW if he is true to the War of the Roses storyline Denery or the imp will win out...has to be someone long removed from England ...sorry Westeros that then invades and conquers.
Not my ending of choice but I will wade through it for the Others storyline.]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17644328 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171467375s/100394.jpg 852355 Dick http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1201662512p2/852355.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/852355-dick Thu, 13 Mar 2008 10:37:21 -0700 Wizardology: The Book of the Secrets of Merlin (Ologies) by Dugald A.

When I was a child we did our yearly camping trip to the West Coast and Mootie always gave us an allowance for books/comics to read on the trip. It made traveling in the camper a little more bearable (barely)....more...]]>
