Synopsis: Perhaps the most dangerous person to gain unimaginable power is the one who feels oppressed.Â
And full of wrath. For very good reason.Â
Review: So when I got the opportunity to request this novella for review from J. Meyers I simply couldn't resist and jumped at the chance. Boy I'm super glad I did too.Â
This novella accompanies her book Intangible which is the first in the series, which I enjoyed to pieces and my favourite character was Jonas. This story of course follows Jonas before our first meeting with him in Intangible as well as enlightening us on his life on the night he became a vampire, the death he had to deal with and what it was like becoming a vampire and visiting The Realm for the first time.Â
It was all pretty wonderful and honestly I just want more chapters/stories from Jonas' point of view 'cause he's so completely bad ass and still retains some form of humanity too! Fifty pages wasn't enough to quench my thirst so I'm just going to sit and wait somewhat patiently for the sequel of Intangible ;)Â

Synopsis: As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must ...and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty.
The old gods have no power in the south, Stark's family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.
Review: I actually kind of didn’t want to post this review, I hate it looking back on it now but y’know I want to be true to past me and post what she was thinking. I don’t think I’ll review the rest of this series unless I get better at taking notes and bookmarking favourite passages, they’re just too long for me to successfully reflect on.Â
A Game of Thrones has a huge standing reputation within the book community and I actually bought an eCopy of the book expecting to find it... okay at best. But boy was I wrong! It lived up to and excelled all the hype and praise that I have heard first or second hand, I was seriously taken back in surprise. It didn't take long for me to pick up watching the television series as well because I just couldn't get enough and hand to introduce it to my Dad too.
I realise I've drifted a little here but trust me if it wasn't that good, I wouldn't have two copies of the first two books and stuck with the television series. As this book is so large and never-ending (you know, cause its part of a super long series that is still being written) I decided to review it with a little bit of a twist - I'm not going to review the book. Nope. I'm instead going to give you my opinions on the main characters, and a few others. I hope you'll enjoy and at the end I'd like to hear what you think about the characters too, if that is okay? I really would love to discuss this book even more than I already have in a GR group.Â
Ned Stark: As far as I'm aware, everyone loves Ned Stark. He is a man of honour and always aiming to do the right thing... which turns out to bite him on his ass.
Catelyn Stark/Tully: To be honest when I was first introduced to her character I thought she was stuck up and I really didn't like her attitude, at all. Especially her foulness that is aimed at my beloved Jon Snow - but we'll get to him later. Whether it be fortunately or unfortunately, I still have yet to decide, but I grew to like her as a character, mostly, there is a lot she has to deal with and for most of the part is strong as a character, I mean it is all her fault (it is, isn't it!) but in a way... she made a right decision, from her point of view.
Robb Stark: As a character we hear very little about him and I know he still isn't a POV character in the second book, I'm hoping maybe he gets to shine for the third (Guys, if you've read the third and you know what happens don't hint to me because I know but I don't want to spoil it for anyone reading it and just I can't deal with it and it's not actually going to happen. Ever. Cause I'm going to just y'know... skip that part) but I do really like him as a character.
Sansa Stark: I feel sorry for her because of how naive she is for most of the book but it seriously makes me wonder how the two sisters can be SO different and it took Sansa SO long to realise what was going on and such. I really enjoyed her growth as a character. Basically I'm currently in a love/hate relationship with her, most of the time its love but the first half of the book she certainly got on my nerves.
Arya Stark: This girl is my spirit animal. I loved her from her first appearance and I think I will for the whole series, she's a perfect strong character and the complete opposite to that of her sister.
Bran Stark:Â He isn't much of a significant character, yet. I'm pretty sure he'll blossom in book two. I like him though.
Jon Snow: *flails* Welcome to the most gorgeous face in the whole series. I really love his character, he is the underdog, the bottom of the pile because he's Ned's "bastard" child but even though he has this tough life set before him he still seems to be coming out on top, doing what he has and need to do whilst being so very caring about others - Arya and Samwell mostly - and he's just sngbioernvsljeriegj :)
The Imp: Oh my god, I love Tyrion. He may be a Lannister but I honestly believe that if and when it comes to it, he would be willing to the do the right and smart thing even if it means betraying his family.
Daenerys Targaryen: I love her, I really do. She's only young and I think that is what everyone forgets, I love how her character develops and I'm aware the path she is going to take is going to be a tricky and bloody one but if you were in her shoes would there be a different path you could take and come out alive?
Khal Drogo: Just swoon, I feel sorry for him and its completely unfair what happens to him but I thought he was really sweet with Dany whilst he had the time.
*sigh* I’m sorry past me for bringing to light your inability to write thoughts and feelings. We’ll put you away now.
