I've finished season 5 in the movie series, so, knowing what to expect, the violence wasn't as jarring when I read this as when I read the first two. The movie series pulls primarily from one book--this story being the 3rd in the series was the bases of season 3, but the series sometimes leaps ahead into other books or trails behind, preferring to spring certain things on the audience later on. Therefore, there were a couple of surprises here. ( ) I did not finish this. I have read 2-1/2 of the 5 GOT volumes, and I need to move on from Martin right now. I probably will come back, but this was a bit too much, one after another. I will say, that Martin spends a tremendous amount of time on scenes and sets, and yes, there are a lot of characters and plot lines, but it became challenging for me to keep track of what is happening to whom. I don't watch the HBO series, so I just need more time to immerse myself in the work. O terceiro livro da canção de gelo e fogo parece ser um ponto culminante da história e entrega, em meio a sua miríade de personagens e capítulos, alternando diferentes protagonistas, grandes momentos. São normalmente trágicos, e há uma crueldade magistralmente calibrada nesses desfechos, mesmo que um quadro realista permaneça. Mas também há ao menos um momento bastante humorado e que me arrancou risadas. Há nisso a astúcia de dar-nos esperança, dado que a série prossegue. Ademais, é muito interessante como os elementos mágicos começam a temperar um pouco mais a história, sem perder de vista a ideia de "era de ouro perdida" e seu realismo.
With the end of A Storm of Swords, Martin is half finished his epic. However, so little has been revealed that we have only begun to glimpse what the true saga really is. It's as if you are peering through a dirty window, cleaning small portions of it -- one square inch at a time -- so more and more of the room beyond is slowly revealed. Each glimpse uncovers a new wonder, but you can never be sure of exactly what you are seeing.

Wikipedia in het Engels (13)Four contend for power over the Iron Throne and the Land of the Seven Kingdoms; alliances shift, and betrayal is always an option. House Lannister's head, Joffrey, rules uneasily. Joffrey's enemy, Lord Stannis, is disgraced and enthralled. Robb of House Stark still rules the North, implacable in his enmity towards his Lannister foes, even as they hold his sister hostage. And the exiled queen Daenerys, mistress of the world's last three dragons, makes her way across a blood-drenched continent. But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, there appears an army of barbaric wildlings, led by undead Others. The unpredictable violence of a final cataclysm is inevitable; the one certain thing is that many men will die upon many swords. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
