I'm Sick

Hey guys! This weekend I was very sick and barely got out of bed. This gave a lot of time to rest and watch TV. I did read, but I didn’t always feel up to it. I had the opportunity to watch the Game of Thrones show and match names to faces. It was awesome seeing how the characters look and interact. At this point, I am over half way through my book and looking to finish it up before the end of the week. I will then proceed to read at least two books before next Thursday.

I am very delighted with Martin’s novel so far and it has kept me so interested in his fictional world. He really places you in the characters perspective, in their world. As each chapter changes perspectives it is disappointing to not find out about them again for some time, but it is just so amazing regardless.

Anyway, as I predicted the houses move closer to war. Daenerys, one of the few remaining Targaryen’s (dragon-people). She was given a couple aged dragon eggs at her wedding that I think could hatch, once again populating Westeros with the fiery beasts. Daenerys, the Khaleesi (queen-like figure), is gaining power and I see her possibly taking the iron throne with Drogo Dothraki some time in the futureMartin writes about Daenerys and her stone dragon eggs, “They were so beautiful, and sometimes just being close to them made her feel stronger, braver, as if somehow she were drawing strength from the stone dragons locked inside” (394). Daenerys is gaining power and will bring the dragons back.

Anyway, I have to finish this up and I will be back shortly to report to you about how amazing this book has been. Bye.
