My notes on a game of thrones



this is not the review of the first book, A game of thrones, of the series a song of Ice and fire yet. But I needed to be published on this day and so I decided to type out the notes I took by hand of each and every chapter that I have read. See them as mini synopsis of each and every chapter.



Well My notes on the first seven chapters anyway, I am deviding my current notes between 2 articles because they're quite lengty! So here we go I guess

  1. The wildlings are active again these are a people that live north of the wall. Meanwhile Direwolfs are back on the southside of the wall and the children of Stark have each adopted a pup including Jon Snow. Jon Snow is a bastard son of Eddard Stark a lord of the north of the realm. The night watch numbers are plummeting and are now beneath a 1000 because of deaths and desertion.
  2. The dragonlady is thirthteen years, had her first blood as they call it, and is being wed to Drogo some kind of Arab styled genghis Khan warlord type. He hasn't lost a single fight and they explain that in his culture a man doesn't shave or trims his beard when he doesn't lose fights for some reason. But anyway the reason she is being wed to this guy, is because her brother would so gain acces to this guy's army and take back the Iron throne they lost to the current king, who led a rebellion against his father/uncle nicknamed the mad -king
  3. Whats the link between the iron throne and the King? Does it function like a crown does? Does it really need to be Iron? Why not the silk throne?
  4. Early comparison between a song of ice and fire and the lord of the rings, the lord of the rings is written in such a way that it is more myth than story you are portalled into. A song of Ice and fire is according to me written like you are a silent observer in this story.
  5. Catherin, Eddard's wife, doesn't want Jon snow staying around in winterfall during the time that Eddard is in kings landing being the right hand of the king. I'm under the impression that eddard stark is the only person in the realm with some honour to his name all the other people are like snakes.
  6. Stansa also doesn't seem to like Jon Snow? I wonder what negative effects this has on a child's brain. Not being liked by your adoptive mother and half brothers and sisters.
  7. Bran is told not to climb by his mother, but is allowed by his father, here he discovers the queen is having a relationship with her twin brother. He thinks they're wrestling and it is also here that Bran gets thrown down from the tower
