    I think I will too. I didn't miss him in the books, but that is different reading everything from a single person's POV.... seeing the actors on screen I think Bean's gravitas will be missed. I hope they add an actor or two with a similar feel to Sean.

    I'm really go to miss his scenes with Maisie Williams. That relationship translated very well to the screen.

    It really did. But i'm looking forward to seeing what happens to Arya now she's on her own.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they try to add another big name, since a lot of viewers seem to have been drawn in because of Sean.

    I guessing that Stannis Baratheon is going to be played by a big name

    It would be nice since the role is so important to the next few books (and maybe more since Book 5 comes out in a few weeks).

    Agreed! I'm in the midst of my GoT re-read in anticipation of Book 5 and A) I was truly surprised by how much of the dialogue was taken verbatim from the books and B) how well Maisie/Sean got those scenes across.

    I'm hoping the rumours about Christopher Eccleston are true.

    Are the books as good as people say? I'm wondering whether to read them, if only to keep me going until season 2, and also to find out what happens to my favourite characters.

    The books are THAT good in my opinion. I have been a fantasy adventure reader for decades now and honestly most fantasy novels pale in comparison to A Game of Thrones and the rest of the series.... Even my old favorites.

    The style is unique being in a different character's POV( point of view) for each chapter and it really gets you into the mind of the characters. Plus, since you like the TV series I think you will find the extra detail and subplots exciting.

    That said, IF you are the type that will be mad if your favorite scenes are left out of the TV series or the type to nitpick changes to plots or characters..... you may want to just read Book One for now and then read Book Two after Season Two airs.

    Personally I notice the little changes, but I have enjoyed Season One more than any other Season One I can recall other than possibly Breaking Bad and LOST.

    Wow, thank you for that reply. Looks like I'll be ordering the books! Although I am that type, who will be sat there picking out all the bits that were and weren't included, so I might read the first one and then see about the rest. The different character POV thing sounds pretty cool too and I'm interested to read how my favourite scenes were originally described.

  13. Cadence29 June 2011 at 19:32

    Awesome :D. Just remember that, since the novels are told from specific POVs, your "favourite scenes" may not have physically been in the novels. 

    Some may have been described by a character after the events have transpired elsewhere. Others may be told from a perspective you didn't expect, giving the scene some added nuance for that one POV character. Other still may have been left out altogether due to no characters present being a POV in the story (like Varys and Littlefinger only scenes).

    That being said, the show is an extremely faithful adaptation on the novels. Many scenes, especially in the pilot, were taken word-for-word from the novels.

    Which characters get POVs in the books? As long as Daenerys is one of them then I'll be happy! It'll be quite interesting to see things from their POV as opposed to what we get on the show though.
    The fact that the show is faithful is what's pushing me to read the books. Like with True Blood and TVD I don't want to read the books as they're so different to the show and I'd be trying to compare them too much.

  15. Cadence29 June 2011 at 20:03

    Ah, the POV situation is what makes Book-->Screen comparisons so interesting. For example, Robb, who quickly became a fan favourite, is NOT a POV. In the novels, he's important, but everything that happens to him is seen through (mostly) his mother's eyes. 

    POVs: 
    Ned
    Catelyn
    Bran
    Arya
    Sansa
    Jon
    Daenerys
    Tyrion

    Each additional book brings in new POVs... and locations etc.

    Book Two-  A Clash of Kings introduces POVs for
       Davos Seaworth (a fan favorite)
       Theon Greyjoy

    Book 3 introduces POVs for
       Jaime Lannister 
       Samwell Tarly

    Book 4 is almost entirely new POVs since it is the half the story with
    Book 5 making up the other half with all the familiar POV charcters.

       Davos Seaworth (a fan favorite)
       Theon Greyjoy

    Book 3 - A Storm of Swords introduces POVs for
       Jaime Lannister 
       Samwell Tarly

    Book 4 is almost entirely new POVs since it is the half the story with
    Book 5 (out in July FINALLY) making up the other half with all the familiar POV charcters.

    Arya and Dany are both there so that's ok then :) Thanks for all the info by the way!

  19. emmy14129 June 2011 at 20:36

    Thankyou! I'm surprised Jamie or Cersei don't have POVs earlier on, for some reason I thought they would have. What's the deal with 4/5 then? Is it basically one book split into two or something?

    aren't there several POV characters in the book series... I havent read the books, so, i'm not sure...

    When GRRM started writing it he discovered he had like 1500 pages or more and was only half done with what he wanted to put in one book. So he split it into two books. Then he decided to put half the POVs in one book and the other half in the second book. That way every POV got a full story arc told in a single book instead of every POV getting half their story told in each book.

  23. darq29 June 2011 at 20:42

    Yep, they are about 10 in each book... listed in one of the posts below by Cadence or myself. :)

    Enjoy them. It really does add a lot to the series. The series is great, the books are great two, and the nice thing is that they both enhance each other unlike some series that fight... like True Blood.

    Oh ok, that's quite clever. Curious as to how that will work on the show though? Assuming it gets that far.
    I guess so, they're nearly always with one of the Starks. Ah I'm really keen to read it now!

  28. darq29 June 2011 at 21:07

    The theory is that they will combine books 4 and 5 to make two separate seasons.

     I'm interested to see how it works out too since it could prove hard to break it into two halves and make both halves flow like a normal season ending in a climax of some sort.....

    So do I understand this right... In book 4 it is ALL new POV´s ?

  31. thedane52 July 2011 at 19:59

    I only started reading the books after I watched the first 6 episodes of the series. The books are really every bit as good as people says. I´m now totally obsessed and I´m almost done with book 3. 
    I´d say go for it! If you like the series and like to read, you are sure to enjoy it.
