Them, Him, Her (and Her), oh, and Me
You won’t believe it: On my old days, I had managed to overcome a temporary fantasy addiction (which had lasted for a year or two), only to suffer a setback:
I have started reading George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire. I’ve done the first 500-something pages, and still know the main characteristics of most characters. That’s a lot, if you know me, and if you know the magnitude of George R. R. Martin’s epos.
There’s the likeable ones: several underdogs and some of those in power. Those with a sub-zero IQ and a mind focussed on appearances and, mostly, self. Some clever and some annoying ones. All together weave various nets of conspiracy and complications, it’s quite an accomplishment.
Of course, I know what outcome to expect. All I need to do now is read the remaining 6000-something pages to see my theory confirmed.
Easy!

Freut mich, dass es die auch so gut gefallen hat. Es ist eine unserer Lieblings-fantasy-Geschichten. Leider hat Herr Martin sich so in der Geschichte verirrt, dass es (noch) kein Ende gibt.
