Tad has turned in a draft of The Navigator's Children, and it's currently longer than To Green Angel Tower

I'm reading through these in publication order. Currently on A Song for Arbonne. I'm enjoying it but it sort of feels like a lesser book than Tigana. Tigana was amazing.
I don't dislike any book yet, but the third Fionnavar book was pretty boring for a good chunk of it. Its high points were really good though.

The titles for the novellas continue to sound like James Islington's Licanius Trilogy

The Heart of What was Lost
The Shadow of Things to ComeIslington:
The Shadow of What was Lost
An Echo of Things to Come

At least Bakker (whom I occasionally muse is Williams' extremely grimdark reflection) was upfront about the spaceship and space alien stuff.
I'm reading The Dragonbone Chair and thought the same thing during the part where Simon was escaping the Hayholt. It was trippy and reminded me a lot of the journey underneath Ishterebenth or whatever it's called.

Tad actually has a fairly respectable section at my local B&N. I'd guess about a shelf and a half, by official measurements. I know when I bought the last copy of The Dragonbone Chair last year, it was restocked when I went back in the next week.

How does it compare to his other works?
I'm not that far yet (only in the middle of Fionavar book 2 at the moment). But I've seen several people say that Ysabel is his weakest book.

I'll second his high fantasy Fionavar Tapestry. It's true the starting premise is pretty silly and it is kind of uneven in that their are some definite lows but when he hits the highs, my God does he ever hit the fucking highs. I've read most of his other stuff and I can say pretty confidently that the high points in Fionavar pretty much eclipse everything else he's written, and quite frankly eclipse most of what I've read in the fantasy genre as a whole.
This is encouraging. I've already bought the first Fionavar book and was wondering whether or not that was a good idea.

Plenty of us here were fans of the books way before the HBO series was even optioned, and we enjoyed this episode just fine. At least I did. I thought it was the best one yet.

My guess is the people who discovered ASOIAF only after the TV show started are the ones who like it, probably because they are more used to standard TV fare, while all the real fans tend to dislike it.
What an awful post.

Is it wrong of me to to want every episode to be word for word from the book?
Yes.

I don't want to sound like a misogynist, but Asha is supposed to be hot. Isn't she supposed to be hot?
No, I don't know why so many people think this. This is how she's described: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/thumb/4/41/Asha_Greyjoy.jpg/250px-Asha_Greyjoy.jpg
Still a freak in bed though I'm sure

The Stannis/Mel sex was a little over the top - why on the Painted Table in a rush of passion, rather than in a private room with a rush of duty.
I've seen quite a few people say this. But how do you even get it up when you're only doing it for duty?

My favorite episode despite no shocking moments. You can tell the set-up is well behind us and we are right in the meat of the story. As a Robb fan he totally lived up to my expectations. Barristan was great too.
-
A solid 9. Not as good as last week's IMO. But still very good.
This.
-
yup, I think so too. At least I hope so.
Jaime's actor mentioned a "fake tit" in his recent interview.

First 10 of the season. Fantastic. The Robert/Cersei scene was a bit odd as a reader, but otherwise no complaints.

I seriously can not understand why so many people think that's all we'll get of the tournament. Not just on this site, but ever site I've been to. There was nothing at all to indicate that the tournament was over.

That's weird, it redirects to Amazon.com for me too, even though the link says amazon.co.uk
