Hey Aptdando, :) I'm interested in what was wrong with the book covers :D Welcome to the forum, glad you decided to join and become apart of the ASOIAF forum community :D I'm like you, I'm a fan of both the show and tv series and honestly I couldn't get enough when I started! Who are your favorite character(s) and house? Sorry some stuff were lost in translation, :( though it sounds exciting, or just plan confusing..... Depending on what was altered. :p Anyway, I'm glad you're able to reread everything in English. Most of the people on here are easy enough to get along with so you should be just fine. Until next time, have fun!
