Game of Thrones A-Z Read Online Free

that’s happened with Cormac McCarthy and  The Road . Which is definitely a science-fiction book, and yet it’s winning all these prizes and people are saying, “No, no, it’s science fiction.” Well, it’s literature  and it’s science fiction. It’s a breath mint and a candy mint!’
    After Martin finally finishes his epic series, he has detailed his plans for the future: ‘I might write a science-fiction novel as my next major project after I finish  Ice and   Fire . I never left horror; I’m not going to leave fantasy. I try to do everything. I enjoy murder mysteries – maybe I’ll write a murder mystery next. I just don’t want to be told, “Oh, you write this sort of thing, so please settle down and keep turning out the same thing forever.” That would be boring.’

    BRANDON STARK
    Brandon, or Bran as he’s also known, is a young boy and the second son of Eddard and Catelyn Stark. He is a keen climber and can regularly be seen scaling the walls of Winterfell. However, he ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time, spotting the visiting Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime having sex. When he is discovered, Jaime pushes him from the window.
    He survives, but is in a coma. Unbeknown to him, his direwolf thwarts an assassination attempt on his life while he is bedridden. While in the coma, Bran has visions featuring a three-eyed crow.
    When he wakes up from the coma, he discovers he is a cripple, but is given the chance to continue riding thanks to a contraption devised by Tyrion Lannister.
