O.o

I never thought it would come to this, but...

George R. R. Martin's cliffhangers pwn Hiromu Arakawa's. Hard.

And that's saying something.

I know! It's, like heretics! But the only book I read from this guy made the Holy Cow look a bit like an amateur. I was all "oh snap, WTFish end of chapter, pulled an Arakawa." Until the ending. He pulled the biggest Arakawa evah.

But she's still one of the BEST plotters in manga. Nobody can take that away from her.

You should read A Song of Ice and Fire, if thick-as-brick books don't discourage you, and you dig historical fantasy with sides of warfare.

There are no words for the open ends. Especially the ending itself. WTFDRAGONS?!

I'm sure. I'm too proud to make you spend good money.

It's such a wonderful ending *nods* beautiful last line too.

I'd accept fanfic or icons in exchange ^^

you've no idea how much I love sharing my love of books - especially this one.

if you prefer I could send you my copy and you could just send it back when you're done reading it.

I didn't even borrow books from friends who lived in my same city. If it gets lost in the mail, I'd feel uneasy.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH?

B-b-but how can that be? Arakawa is the Queen of Annoying her Fans with Cliffhangers!

Has someone usurped the Queen?

I don't think this man does it to annoy the fans. It's just his style.

Arakawa, though? So doing it on purpose.

Ahjbfafha! Terminaste Juego de Tronos?

Yo estaba al borde del suicidio con ese final. D:

Y? Y? Odio a los Lannister? Amor a los Stark? Personajes favoritos y odiados? XD

No pienso opinar mucho sin leer los otros libros antes. Pero sí­, supongo que le voy a los Starks (menos Sansa, que se lo merecÃía por idiota) aunque Tyrion me gustó.

No sé. Sigue siendo muy pronto para saber. Con tanto libro delante, puede que me trague cualquier palabra que diga ahora en unos meses.

hey, you don't get to bash Sansa :^p she's her father's daughter and just as smart as he was *bats eyelashes*

I'm just expressing my impression on just one book. So far, she's acted like an ass and/or a coward.
ext_2023: (Default)

[identity profile] etrangere.livejournal.com 2006-05-03 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
well, yes, but she's just a little girl. *sighs* Lots of people bashher, but I'm one of the rare who likes her. What annoys me is when people imply it's her fault Ned got killed while I think it was mostly Ned's fault he got kill. Him, Cersei's, Joffrey's and Littlefinguer's. But Sansa had a very little role there (spoiler for AGOT in highlight)

But she was my least favorite Stark from way before that happened. At least she got some more guts in the end, but I still like her other siblings better so far.

[identity profile] etrangere.livejournal.com 2006-05-03 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
She was certainly the less "cool" one. I do think she improves ^^

Heh, I think my least favourite Stark is Robb. He's so dull. Nice kid, but boring. Jon isn't much better.

I adore Arya and Bran, however ^^

Why is that book completely non-existant in book shops/libraries here? :( (Yeah, I checked Amazon. The prices made me run away screaming.)

I'll have to start raiding geeky stores again... Everyone is recommending this book.

READ IT ! XD

how come it's expensiv on Amazon ? O_o

[identity profile] laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com 2006-05-02 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not so much that it's expensive on Amazon, the problem is that anything in dollars becomes a whole lot of money when converted to Argentinian pesos. I really can't buy anything online. :/

Just in case there's a miracle and I find it somewhere, the first one is "Game of Thrones", right?

yes it is.

The rate to Euro isn't bad, I could offer it to you since Kiri-chan is so stubborn about refusing it ? Yes i'm that obsessed with this book that I'm willing to offer it to every one of my friends

[identity profile] laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com 2006-05-02 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Give me a few days and I'll let you know. My grandfather just mentioned a place where they might have it. *crosses fingers*

I'm having a hard tinme finding them HERE. I'm going to suffer to get the second.

But they're worth it. So worth it.

[identity profile] laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com 2006-05-02 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I'll have luck in one of the nerdier book shops. Like I just told [livejournal.com profile] etrangere, my grandfather thinks they might have it one of them.

And on a completely off-topic tangent, would Eriol mind if Spinel showed Vicki some family pictures? ;)
