Lord Orys Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Sorry if this has been covered already but I didn't see it if it has. But my main question is, in what style will WOIAF be written? Will it be a novel (like ASOIAF) or will it be in the style of a history textbook with pictures and chapters dedicated to a certain topic? Thanks in advance for the answer.

Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 It will be a history book written by a maester, for King Robert, Joffrey, Tommen I. For an idea on what it will read like, read these preview pages ;) Do mind that this is preview, and thus not finished product. But I'm guessing the end product will be similar to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay's Penguins Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Sort of off topic, but the Stark family tree is at page 310-311. The Dawn age is page 12 and the preface starts on page 9, so that shapes the book out a bit for us. Going by the contents page the book should be around 330 pages long.

Amazon says 335pgs. if I recall correctly. I would have been happier with twice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay's Penguins Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 most of us would beIndeed but it's a large book, and it's looks like quite a few words on each page. As much as I like artwork somehow I think there is gunna be a lot of one page picture spreads, so less words, only around 300 pages of words... It's still a lot though, and I'm more then happy with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Agency of Sansa Stark Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Very excited for the book, slightly disappointed that it is only 335 pgs but I'm hoping that there isn't a ton of fluff and tons of content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Speaking of formatting for the book, can Ran or someone tell us anything about how the kindle version will look? My local library isn't planning on ordering it anytime soon and for various reasons I am uninterested in having a big clunky book taking up space on my shelves. I know there will be a lot of art work that probably won't show up well, if at all, on the e-version. But what about the rest? Will the text be decent on a kindle? The family trees?

It's not that much more for the actual book, and it won't look good on a Kindle anyway (not compared to the magnificence that could be the book). Now if only I can stop desiring the black cover.

That black cover look so much better than the red one. I wish we had the option of selecting which cover we preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost's Shadow Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'm going to keep an eye out on this Amazon stuff and might switch covers if it seems okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondancer Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 That black cover look so much better than the red one. I wish we had the option of selecting which cover we preferred. The red is absolutely fetching. :) Does the black have jacket? I think we will see reviews in the upcoming weeks - and mayhaps be able to decide more firmly. Heck, even Ran could do that, or at least show the simmering fandom a few more photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost's Shadow Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hmm, that's what I'd like to know as well. It's a hard cover, right, and not an extra paper jacket around it (for both covers)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flandrensis Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It's a hardcover and it probably does have a dustjacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
