Been reading Game of Thrones and it occurred to me no one will ever match the beauty of Tolkien’s works.
I read the “Game of Thrones” books as well by George RR Martin (actually the unfinished series is titled “A Song Of Ice And Fire”). Much superior to the TV show but not for everybody as themes of incest, torture, and gratuitious murders permeate the novels. In fact, I would say that most Tolkien readers would not enjoy the Martin books at all because there are very few happy endings for the characters and most of them are very immoral. Only Samwell Tarly comes close to a Tolkiern character in my opinion.
