Hey there, now that I finally decided to sign up on this board I first wanted to introduce myself (if anyone should care :laugh: ) I am 16 years old and from Germany. I started reading fantasy when I was 11 but never heard of GRRM until a few months ago after a friend recommended him. I'm still wondering how these books could hide away from me for that long... and I read them in English, I just can't stand translations. My favorite characters are basically all of the Starks, Jaime Lannister, the Hound, Tormund Giantsbane & Asha Greyjoy. So, greetings to everyone. :)
