Summary 1-118
Game of Thrones
( accidentally wrote beyond page 75....)
It is finally winter in Westeros (where seasons last for 4 years) and strange things begin to happen beyond the make believe country. Robert Baratheon (who is a drunk) goes north to Winterfell to find the Lord Stark so he can now be the second hand of his Kingship because his previous second hand died of a fever. They have a close friendship because many years before King Robert once was in love with Lord Starks deceased sister. In the beginning of the story mystical creatures called White Walkers have murdered many travelers and one witness returns to warn others. His words are ignored and he is decapitated, soon after they find a dire wolf slaughtered, with an antler in her, leaving 6 pups, one an albino, without a mother to take care of them. The king then realizes the man he just killed may have been telling the truth. The dilemma of taking the second hands troubles Stark because his friend is no longer the same man he once remembered. They are hesitant to uproot their family suddenly to serve the king, yet this would make Stark the 2nd most powerful man in the country. Although this wasn’t the only big decision that had to be made, Jon the bastard son, has to decide if he wants to be on Night Watch and protect the kingdom. This is risky because of what has recently been happening beyond the wall with the White Walkers. Sansa, Ned’s daughter, seeks the throne to Joffery in hopes that her father will give her permission and she will one day be Queen. Catelyn finds our that the Lannisters could possibly be responsible for the death of Arryn, she is conflicted with trying to stop her husband or allow him to go south to be the second hand. Meanwhile Daenerys, who was across the sea is wed to a barbarian Khal thanks to her brother Viserys, so he can steal back his position of the throne in Westeros.
questions:
What is the wall? Why do they have it? Its confusing to picture in my head whle reading.
Why are these white walkers bad and where did they come from? They don’t explain it well… All in all this book is very hard to follow and there are SO many characters I have to read each page twice to be able to follow.
