First, a confession…I immediately started the third book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. In A Storm of Swords, everything is in chaos. And, yesterday afternoon it broke my heart. All that hope I thought I saw in the second book evaporated in the space of three pages. Favorite characters were killed violently with little warning. (I know, I know, there was lots of foreshadowing but I guess I just didn’t want to believe it.)
Now, in despair, I continue to read just waiting for the glimmer of hope to return. But, I’m not trusting that I will find it. Lovers are torn apart, horrible dead things stalk the land, women and child are murdered…and the evil people are really winning now. I may definitely have to take a break after book 3 for something a bit more upbeat.
I did have a good laugh related to Game of Thrones. I stumbled on this music video by comedy group Axis of Awesome. It is, as they say, explicit: there’s bad language and a bit of nudity at the end. But, if you have reached the depths of despair along with me, it provides a little pick-me-up:
Your imagination is a fun place to explore…
