Every once in a very long while, Lord Tywin Lannister would actually threaten to smile; he never did, but the threat alone was terrible to behold.

A Clash of Kings - George R R Martin

February 21, 2015, 4:58 am
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Reading the World of Ice and Fire has left me with a thirst. It surprises me a little that the book is still good after so many re-readings.

The World of Ice & Fire - George R R Martin, Elio M. Garcia, Jr. and Linda Antonsson

A must read for any fan of the books. The history of the Targaryen kings particularly so.

N.B. I noticed that Daeron I (The Young Dragon) and Baelor I (The Blessed) are out of order on the timeline diagram at the end. I note this here in case their was any doubt on the extent of my ASoIaF fanaticism.

Some great stories in here. The first half more than the second, with the obvious exception of 'The Blacks and The Greens' which was awesome.
