After GoT I hoped Rings of Power or Wheel of Time (haven't read those) would fill the void. scratch that medieval fantasy, political intrigue, tits and violence itch. But those two sure sucked.


Both of those were exceptionally tame books. WoT had some sex but it was never graphic or descriptive.

GoT actually toned down how vulgar the books were at some points IMO, believe it or not.

ETA: but yes. Just film things in a mostly similar idea that the author wrote with a bit of gusto and people will like it.

See Dune, Shogun, Last of Us (outside of THOSE episodes,) and early GoT.

Put your own spin on it and you get Wheel of Time, RoP, Halo, etc.

What points were those? I feel like they cranked it way up for the show. There were no gay guys shaving each other in the books.

shite, the reader only knew Renly was gay by insinuation.
