Perspective: I know you’re mad at the show. But 'Game of Thrones' is still one of the best epic fantasies ever.
Emilia Clarke in a scene from “Game of Thrones.” By Everdeen Mason Everdeen Mason Audience editor and science fiction and fantasy columnist Email Bio Follow Editor May 16 at 10:23 AM When Daenerys Targaryen went full Mad Queen on our television screens last week — and I found myself screaming on my couch, furiously scrolling on my phone as she blazed to her moral downfall, I realized that I, too, have gone mad. You see, I am both a highly invested “Game of Thrones” fan and an Internet junkie.
Martin started writing fiction in the late 1970s, around the same time Dungeons & Dragons and Terry Brooks’s “The Sword of Shannara” began mass-marketing Tolkein-esque fantasy worlds and characters. But his reaction to those tropes spawned a new standard of high fantasy. Warging is much more mundane, but it also opens a world of possibilities. This tracks with the character focus of Martin’s novels, where magic is used less to inspire awe than to give us insights into the different personalities. In the book, all the Stark children have the potential to warg, but it is only Bran, forced into a wheelchair, who develops the ability to the point of usefulness. And his choice to pursue that calling is one that will have an impact on what befalls Westeros.
