I was seriously angry with mr. Martin...
However, I read the rest of the books, including lots of good guys being skewerd, dismembered, beheaded, speared, etc... He is definitely a very good writer, but for a moment he seriously got me...  |
The problem is that with many books I form a connection with the main character(s). When sequels to books suddenly play in different time periods and have different characters in the same world or the main character dies ... I tend to lose interest. It was -his- (or her) story I was following! Not the events around the person. I am interested in how that person struggles through them. Not a fresh new person.
I ramble.
