Tras el sinsabor que me dejó el final de la serie, me propuse leer los libros, sin embargo, he leído los primeros, pero no me da el tiempo para mucho mas… Y he encontrado la solución a esto: el cómic.
Me ha encantado, por todo. Evidentemente la historia es ya bastante conocida y, en este caso, no la han variado nada, es tal cual la representación de parte de la primera temporada, pero lo que me ha enamorado es el dibujo y los textos. Son, sencillamente: espectaculares, y, además, muy descriptivos ¡parecía que estaba viendo la serie de nuevo!

This was one of the better graphic novel experiences I have had, in large part due to the beautiful colored illustrations. I have finally accepted though that graphic novels are not my favorite literary flavor. This would have been far less enjoyable if I had not already read The Game of Thrones -- I just prefer a traditional format which adds far more depth and complexity to the story than a graphic novel is able to portray.

I was genuinely really excited to start this series.
I mean, the ASOIAF series as a full-color graphic novel? How could it not be amazing? You'd obviously assume GRRM would only release the rights to a really good team with basically a perfect illustrator whom everyone can basically appreciate, right?
...Eh? 😀
When I bought the first volume, I didn't really get a full taste of what the illustration style was like before buying because I first found them for sale in an actual comic book shop and the volumes come individually sealed in plastic (because of illustrated nudity, I'd assume).
Ultimately, I just, unfortunately, ended up really disliking like the illustration style. I couldn't get past it to get into what I was reading fully.
Everybody in the novel was really, overly thick (notthicc, thick) bodied like cave man-y wide across; the fingers were weirdly thick, everyone was definitely capable of crushing a bowling ball in one of their huge hands (even women)—just everything.
Also, didn't like the faces. Made characters look somehow even more like cave people—wealthy cave people...
So, I didn't finish the first novel. Didn't get past more than a handful of chapters (I did try!), specifically because of the illustration style.

SEGUNDA LEIDA:
Aquí hay mas de lo que pude notar la primera ves, leyendo luego de ver la serie, uno se da cuenta de cosas que podrian pasar desapercibidas, mi personaje favorito sigue siendo Dany, Arya y los lobos huargos, ahhh como los amoooo.
Ya estoy lista para continuar con el baño de sangre, donde el juego por el trono no termina...
POR EL REY EN EL NORTE! POR LA KALHESI!
PRIMEDA LEIDA:
ME ENCANTO!! Amando y odiando personajes a mas no poder, me genera mucha rabia ciertas injusticias pero asi es la vida, donde los peores monstruos son los humanos.

En realidad no he leído este libro, lo he escuchado mientras trabajaba. Por eso me ha gustado tanto. Las horas sin él se me habrían hecho largas y pesadas. Es una gran obra, me gustan las historias ambientadas en la época medieval y la saga de Canción de hielo y fuego, en lugar de inventarse un mundo alternativo como otras obras de fantasía, ambienta allí sus narraciones ¿Quién sabe lo que pasó en aquella época a veces tan oscura y desconocida? Lo único que lamento es haber visto las 4 temporadas de la serie grabadas hasta el momento. Aún así, el libro resulta totalmente adictivo.

I've enjoyed myself immensely with this graphic novel, although it feels more like a comic to me with how it's all visualised. Can't wait to continue with the series in this format. Haven't read the actual novels yet aside from the first book, did see the TV series adaption so I'm now planning to read the other graphic novels and someday the novels as well.
Also really liked the extra's in the end, the 'how it was made' with the doodles, the extra information by the artists etc. Really nice addition. And the fact that it's in HC gives it something extra special I think. Truly beautiful addition to my Game of Thrones collection.
