the story is all downhill from here.feast for crows was crapdance with dragons is crap.too many new characters that no one gives a shit about.plus all the dragon and magic crap which sucks.
of course this kind of popular crap appeals to the subhuman intellect of most crpg assburger children.
(click to show/hide)In studying literature there is a general precedent that the main heroes aren't supposed to be killed, because the reader bonds with them. this dates back to greek epics, etc.however in Shakespearean drama there is this kind of thing.usually the doomed characters have fatal flaws, which are hinted at earlier.there is such a thing as too much tragedy, which leaves nowhere for the plot to go afterward except into a completely incoherent mess which is the rest of the story unfortunately.
believe it or not, game of thrones was on the syllabus of a course in my university. a lot of the students found that the prose wasn't especially well executed.i was a fanboi of the books until book 4 and 5.
