Hangover of the Morning Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks for the link. I would have hoped that in a promotional video they would have shown some the inside of the book and its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Hendrix of Rock Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The artwork looks amazing, I was not sure about buying it at first but I'm getting this asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofless Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm 99.9% sure that I'm getting this for an upcoming November birthday. And if I don't then someone's in deep doodoo.One way or the other it will be in my hands by Christmas.Really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotcat Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm really looking forward to this one. The artwork looks absolutely gorgeous. I thought it was a bit odd that we didn't see more of what's inside the book in the video - as opposed to just GRRM talking about it - but I'm sure they'll have their reasons for that. Either way, it's not long now til its in my hands (no thanks to Amazon UK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maia Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Is it possible to read the pages? I tried to enlarge them, but they become too blurry for me to read. The only one I've managed, with a lot of persistence, is the Stark page, which, of course, is a dozy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bael's Bastard Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The only one of the B&N ones I could really read was the Kings of Winter one. But I think the blurry ones still give a good general idea of the layout of the inside of the book if someone is trying to get an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterbumps! Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 lol, I was really trying to avoid WOIAF stuff until it came out, but I guess my curiosity is just getting the best of me today (I'm going to blame Apple for this). But yea, I just read the Kings of Winter page too, and holy shit. The Boltons, lol. Like seriously, there is just something wrong with these guys.

Bael's Bastard Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Interesting to see Royce as a first name for a Bolton. Made me think of House Karstark coming from a Karl Stark for a sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Starks don't precisely seem to have been the kind of honorable nice-guys many people on these boards envision them as either, though. :dunce: More Tywin Lannisters than Eddard Starks.

butterbumps! Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Interesting to see Royce as a first name for a Bolton. Made me think of House Karstark coming from a Karl Stark for a sec. well, I got a good chuckle out of Royce "Redarm" Bolton and "Roger the Huntsman." The Red Kings, huh? But I guess I'm most interested in how Starks v Boltons goes back to the Long Night (very interesting), and these two fought constantly until Mr. Huntsman bent the knee just before the Andals arrival. Why did it take so long to get this guys down, and how did they finally do it? and I'm still wondering why these troublemakers continued to pitch rebellions without eradication (I'm referencing ASOIAF rather then WOIAF on the second question). oh, and as a mild curiosity-- seriously, are there any female Boltons? ETA: also, thank you for posting all those images. this was like xmas come early for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were in the Dune universe, the Boltons would probably be the most likely to use "axlotl tanks," and Roose would indeed be millennia old via hundreds or more Roose gholas. I agree it is weird that the Boltons have survived so long, especially under the more brutal Starks. And haven't they rebelled quite a bit even since the Andals started coming to Westeros? I thought they supposedly flayed a Stark ruler as recently 1,000 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it said that a Bolton once burned Winterfell down and yet the Boltons still fell to Winterfell. Yep history is goin to repeat itself except this time I doubt House Bolton will exist.
