purplebunny Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hey Anyone else a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire books and the tv serial Game of Thrones? I'm currently reading the books and in middle of Book 5 of the set of 7 I watched season 1 on blu ray and am waiting to watch season 2. Fans will know that season 3 is due to arrive on tv screens in March next year. purplebunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VertuHonagan Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've heard of it but never checked it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebunny Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Oh you should! I watched season 1 before reading the books, but have been hooked on the books. Would suggest you check it out Read the books first though, because I found the tv series a bit hard to follow, but then when I had read the book it made sense They are doing each book as a season so there will be 7 seasons in total. Plus since it's mostly filmed over here (some in the South of Ireland) I figured I might as well get into it If that makes sense? Most of those things are filmed in the states or elsewhere.

VertuHonagan Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yeah I understand that. What is it about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebunny Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 There is an Iron Throne in one part of the kingdom and whoever sits on it rules the kingdom. It's about those who sit on it, plots to get those on it removed, plots to get people seated on it. It's Fantasy but very addictive! I've got Kaijin reading the books too She's just finished book 3, which will be the new season 3. What I said to her I'll say to you "It's got violence, sex and incest in it but it is addictive. If you can get past the incest then you'll be okay". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaijin W. Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I have indeed just finished book 3 though am currently watching season 1 of the series. Thanks to purplebunny who has loaned me the first season of the series and is loaning me the books to read as well. I love it Though I must admit that the names in it are lovely and the unusual ones/the ones that i love i'm putting to one side as possble baby names! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VertuHonagan Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Oh I see. Alright thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaijin W. Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'd advice you to read the first book first before season one of the tv series. That's what i done and didn't find it confusing. That way you'll know if you will like it or not. But it does get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
