La serie #JuegodeTronos tiene episodios brutales, pero... ¿Cuál es el mejor? El creador de la saga, #GeorgeRRMartin lo tiene claro https://www.cinemascomics.com/juego-de-tronos-george-r-r-martin-revela-el-mejor-episodio-que-ha-escrito/

Katsoin eilen loppuun #HouseOfTheDragon'in ykköskauden. Ei vetänyt mukaansa enkä jaksanut kiinnostua. Tuntuu kuin #HBO olisi jatkanut #GameOfThrones'ista tasan sen latteinta osaa — nimen mukaista valtaistuinpeliä. Kaikki #GeorgeRRMartin'in maailman muut osat myytteineen, enteineen ja salaisuuksineen on jätetty hyllylle pölyttymään ja katsojan tulisi innostua vain ianikuisesta kähminnästä ja juonittelusta yhden valtaistuimen valloittamiseksi. #kotijuttuja

Aujourd'hui, je vous présente l'un des meilleurs romans de #GeorgeRRMartin (l'un des plus persos?): #ArmageddonRag.
Sous fond de rituels sataniques, de mélancolie post-hippie et de désillusion sociale, il raconte la tentative de reconstitution d'1 légendaire groupe de rock: les Nazgûl.

Princess Deria placed in his hands a private letter from her father, Prince Nymor. Aegon read it upon the Iron Throne, and men say that when he rose, his hand was bleeding, so hard had he clenched it. He burned the letter and departed immediately on Balerion’s back for Dragonstone. When he returned the next morning, he agreed to the peace and signed a treaty to that effect.

Was Rhaenys still alive in the letter?

He saw his brother on the Iron Throne again, but Euron was no longer human. He seemed more squid than man, a monster fathered by a kraken of the deep, his face a mass of writhing tentacles. Beside him stood a shadow in woman’s form, long and tall and terrible, her hands alive with pale white fire.

She wondered what Daario was doing. Was he restless as well? Was he thinking about her? Did he love her, truly? Did he hate her for marrying Hizdahr? I should never have taken him into my bed. He was only a sellsword, no fit consort for a queen, and yet …

Will Daario betray Dany?

“You have a certain cunning, Tyrion, but the plain truth is you talk too much. That loose tongue of yours will be your undoing.”
“You should have let Joff tear it out,” suggested Tyrion.

Will Tyrion lose his tongue, as Jaime has lost his hand & Cersei her mystique?

He is a man of the Night’s Watch, she thought, as he sang about some stupid lady throwing herself off some stupid tower because her stupid prince was dead. The lady should go kill the ones who killed her prince.

But Ashara’s daughter had been stillborn, and his fair lady had thrown herself from a tower soon after, mad with grief for the child she had lost, and perhaps for the man who had dishonored her at Harrenhal as well

Is the song about Ashara?

Only his life’s blood could pay for his crimes, your laws said, and Stannis Baratheon is not a man to go against the law … but as you said so sagely, the laws of men end at the Wall. I told you that the Lord of Light would hear your prayers.

“There he stands, Lord Snow. Arya’s deliverance. A gift from the Lord of Light … and me.”

Does Stannis know about Mance?

They reached their destination, a small clearing in the deep of the wood where nine weirwoods grew in a rough circle. Jon drew in a breath, and he saw Sam Tarly staring. Even in the wolfswood, you never found more than two or three of the white trees growing together; a grove of nine was unheard of.

Did Mel burn weirwood from the "sacred" grove?

“The bleeding star bespoke the end,” he said to Aeron. “These are the last days, when the world shall be broken and remade. A new god shall be born from the graves and charnel pits.”

What will Euron raise?

“I have seen you in the nightfires, Victarion Greyjoy. You come striding through the flames stern and fierce, your great axe dripping blood, blind to the tentacles that grasp you at wrist and neck and ankle, the black strings that make you dance.” “Dance?” Victarion bristled.

Will Victarion live long enough to face Euron again?
