Megs’s comments from the Read A Song Of Ice And Fire 2016 group.

1. The books are difficult in that they are complex with many settings, characters, and storylines. The shows were even difficult to follow initially until I got to know the characters.
2. I started the series first and then HAD to read the books. I think it depends on how the movies or shows affect your opinion on the book for whether or not you should read or watch or both first. The show is different in many aspects from the books. The books also answer some questions that you may ask while watching.
3. The books aren't scary at all! This is the first time I have read fantasy so I don't really have a comparison but ic you ever watched The Tudors or learned anything about historical British royalty, it's kind of like that.
4. I would suggest not reading the books because you will be addicted. 😉 But if you need a new drug then DO IT.

I think because Rhaegar was next to get the throne and he's Rhaegar's son. Also because he is male. In Westeros, females don't inherit the throne. But I would think Dany has a better chance seeing that she has the dragons.

yes. thank you Leslie. I realized it was in the wrong spot after I posted.

I have just started reading the series for the first time in January then I found this group and thought it would be great to see other ideas about the goings on in the books. My brother encouraged me to read the books especially since I enjoyed the tv series.
