DNF @ approximately 50%.

I watched the first season of the show. I never liked it, but I thought, "So many people like it, there must be something to it", and kept trying. Never watched the second season, though.

I listened to the audiobook halfway, then my free subscription of [whatever audiobook service I was using] ran out. I never liked the book, but I thought, "So many people like it, there must be something to it", and kept trying. Didn't feel like picking up a physical copy right away, though.

Then, about a year later, I picked up a physical copy of the book and made it through the prologue. That's it. I don't want to read anymore.

Not my cup of tea. Rating based on the 50% I listened to, not on the 13 pages I read.

Tästä sarjasta on kuullut paljon, ja ainakin avausosa on maineensa veroinen. Tai siis ainakin melkein. Odotin, että tässä olisi ollut tolkuttomasti seksiä ja väkivaltaa, mutta kumpaakin oli odotuksiin nähden itse asiassa melko kohtuullisesti. Seuraava osa tullee luettua sekin ihan mielellään.

Mainittakoon vielä, että olen sarjan suhteen sikäli melko neitseellistä maaperää, että en ole katsonut yhtään jaksoa tästä tehtyä tv-sarjaa. Näin ollen kaikki mielikuvat siitä, miltä asiat näyttävät, kuulostavat ja tuntuvat, syntyivät pelkästään luetun perusteella. Ja se on hyvä se. Minua ei nimittäin yhtään häirinnyt, että Tyrion Lannister puhui päässäni Varric Tethrasin äänellä.
