GoT final


The conclusion of this wildly exciting novel has finally been reached. The chaotic tendency of power seems to stay relevant but the characters and plot start a new beginning. I think the plot hit it’s climax when Ned is killed. Ned represented all that is honorable in a world that only wanted crude power. I think Ned’s death can also represent a change of heart for the Starks. I could see the Starks becoming a lot more violent and power hungry now that their honor is gone. I really liked the ending, but I was expecting the death of Ned ever since we first saw the dead Direwolf and the antler lodged in its neck.  I would recommend this novel to a lot of my friends and I can’t wait to watch season 1 of Game of Thrones. The ending provoked my interests probably the most in the entire novel. I liked it because it adds 2 new subjects that we will see develop in the next book:  Dragons and Total warfare between Robb and the Lannisters. My favorite character was Bran. I liked him because he was innocent, and curious, but at the same time he took everything with a pair of balls. Ned taught him to be tough and I hope we see Bran in the next book as I’m hoping he is a reflection of a rebirth of Ned and the honor that comes with it.  In the end, Sansa ends up being a detainee from Joffery and Robb is commanding an Army. Khal ends up dead and this effects Dany as she has no Army or power. She does however have the dragon eggs which could someday yield tremendous power. I was really fascinated that the creative minds behind the T.V. series  could do such a good job emulating the plot and environment of Westeros. Overall I would  rank this book a 4.5/5
