A Storm of Swords II by George R R Martin After starting on the set in September last year, I’m getting through the Game of Thrones series at quite a clip now. This is no doubt due to their intriguing nature and Martin’s writing style which makes reading this collection of books so easy. So far, my favourite character in every one of the books in this series is Tyrion Lannister. I find myself rooting for him at every step on his life journey. He works so hard to be a better man despite people’s preconceptions. When he was made The Hand in the previous book I was not at all surprised that he did a good job of it. Tyrion reminds me of some of the talented yet underrated children I’ve taught in the past. Once they were given a task which excited and involved them they relished the challenge and surpassed all expectations. Unlike my students though, Tyrion receives no praise for his efforts and achievements. Perhaps I like him so much because he almost always has his now...
3, I think, most attractive and I would want to read it. Second choice 1.
ReplyDeleteI am sure there is a reason for the bees, but the blurb does not give that impression.
I'm voting for #1....it just catches my eye more than the other 2.
ReplyDeleteThanks Juli. It's currently my favourite.
Deletecover #1 suits best--the bees tell me noting and the open book is vague--at least the cauldron siginifies witches and magic :)
