Confession time - I'm not really enjoying GoT as much as I thought I would.
Nothing wrong with the quality of the production, and I absolutely love Sean's acting and will happily watch all his scenes over and over again because he's so good in this. However, the rest of it isn't doing much for me.
I do love fantasy - the highlight of every Christmas Day when I was a child was when my parents gave me the latest David Eddings book on Christmas morning. As long as my David Eddings book was there, I'd be content. I'd then disappear happily for the rest of the day apart from a brief appearance for Christmas dinner. However, I guess the thing with fantasy is whether you personally like the world that's been created, and I just haven't been able to get excited about this one.
I have bought the first book and attempted to read it but haven't been drawn in yet. Again, nothing wrong with it but it's just not pushing my particular buttons. I'll try reading it again next weekend when I have more time.
