While patiently waiting for the next book in the Song of Ice and Fire series, I am excited about the possibility of HBO filming the series. A pilot is being developed and there is even some casting news with Peter Dinklage said to be playing the role of Tyrion Lannister. If you haven’t read this series yet, it is a great option for summer reading.
This epic fantasy series actually finds a lot of inspiration in history, particularly the War of the Roses. The Stark family holds court in the north while the Lannisters scheme to hold onto the throne in the south as they set into motion a dangerous game that threatens to drag the entire Seven Kingdoms into a lengthy struggle for power. This is a marvelous book that is only dampened by the fact that the author is still working on book five.
