Game of Thrones- Season Long Thread (Newbie Guide in First Post)
Dude you are in a thread about a fantasy epic, there are nerds everywhere

---

Fantasy/magic the gathering nerds don't associate with nerds who waste time reading books about actual history

I was on edge at the end of this episode. I'm about halfway through book 2 and believe me when I say this shits just getting started. Consider every episode to this point just setup/backstory for the shite storm that's on the horizon.

The first book is basically one long prologue for the entire story.

Me too!! I was gonna wait and read book 2 later, but this series has sucked me in. I'll will more than likely go straight to book 3 after I read book 2.

the end of book one makes it impossible not to immediately begin reading book two.

The zombies at the start of the series should have been a clue that this wasn't going to be just some medieval knight story but still I was kind of lulled to sleep because it's so well written and the characters are so fricking cool.

HBO has done a great job telling this story.

Youre only 1.5 books in. You have no idea heh

Thanks for recommending I read these rather than just watch the series. Haven't been hooked on a book series like this since Harry potter

Next episode is Gunna be sick. What are the books called?

Love this show, gotta get the books soon.

This was a great episode but I was expecting a little more. I stopped reading bc I wanted to watch the show, but what is the consensus about Syrio? Did he make it? And where did Arya run off to?
