#GOT: Insights from "The Coming Of The First Men" (The World Of Ice & Fire)

This is my breakdown of the "Coming of the First Men" chapter of the book The World Of Ice and Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones.

My goal is to work my way through the entire book, one chapter at a time, to gain a deeper understanding of the A Song of Ice and Fire series of books and the Game of Thrones television show (which I recap). 

Enjoy!

10 Things I Hated About Season 6 Of Game Of Thrones: #1 Battle of the Bastards
10 Things I Hated About Season 6 Of Game Of Thrones: #1 Battle of the Bastards

So, finally, the end of the series. #1 Battle of the Bastards

Stephen King said that he liked doing this kind of serial release (bit by bit) of his books (I think he did this with The Green Mile). 

I know that I am no Stephen King, so maybe that explains why I didn't love doing it this way. But, I believe it took my 11 days to release the 10 parts.

I hope you enjoyed it!

10 Things I Hated About Season 6 of Game of Thrones: #6 Three-Eyed Crow

Almost half way through this series where I complain about elements of Season 6 of Game of Thrones.

On the good side, I realize that I am in the minority about Season 6. On the bad side, I am pretty sure I am right about most of this.

In fairness, I do love the series on the whole, but I have to be honest. Enjoy!

Many have asked me throughout Season 6 why I was so critical of Game of Thrones Season 6. This series is my attempt to explain my frustrations with last season.

I fully realize both that I am in the minority about Season 6 and that Benioff and Weiss, on the whole, have done an amazing job. I am a fan of the show.
