The Wheel Turns: You Win or You Die

Hello, friends! The Wheel has turned all the way around to Thursday again, which means two things: the weekend is not too far away, and it's time for our Rotating Features blog!

As I am writing for Dragonmount, most of my articles will of course focus on The Wheel of Time books. Sometimes, however, we likely have other common interests to discuss.

This week, the overwhelming favorite topic for discussion simply has to be A Game of Thrones the television series based on the A Song of Ice and Fire books by George R. R. Martin. It's fair to say that most fans of The Wheel of Time are aware of, and more than likely love, this ongoing work of epic fantasy fiction. And the television series has been so well done thus far that it has merely added to the enjoyment of the series for fans and spread it's fame and popularity in general.

This week, of course, was a momentous episode in the series, and one which fans of the books have been looking forward to for some time. I won't reveal anything which may spoil the episode for you in case you haven't seen it just yet--but you're in for a televisual treat. Reactions to the episode have made local news in the area of the world I live in!

There is a video clip of people's reactions on YouTube which is quickly picking up views. I can't link to it as it contains some naughty words! But it's quite funny if you want to look it up for yourselves.

Whilst we are on the subject of Game of Thrones in general, here is something interesting I found recently--a mock up of Magic the Gathering style cards featuring Game of Thrones characters.

Have fun! (But beware of spoilers.)
