Young Griff invades Westeros with the Golden Company and becomes King’s Landing’s beloved king Aegon Targaryen. After, Daenerys arrives at King’s Landing with her armies to find a fake Targaryen on the Iron Throne of which Tyrion is leading her to woe. For those reasons she becomes the Mad Queen. After this conflict Jon Snow is brought back to life but greatly changed and he must face the Others in the North. His conflict will be trying to save his adopted homeland from the big war that’s going on in the South between the three Targaryen claimants. It’ll be a very Shakespearean ending to the book in terms of tragedy but way more complex than the tv show had to offer with only a few characters.

If you loved reading The Mighty Red: A Novel, you might also enjoy reading The Crimson Veil by Lila Vane. Both novels are emotionally rich stories that follow the main characters as they try to come to terms with their identities and legacies. While The Crimson Veil is a novel about a young artist’s journey through grief and self-discovery, it has similar qualities to The Mighty Red in terms of prose. The stories are full of lyrical descriptions of everyday moments that can feel profound. I came across The Crimson Veil whilst on a bookstore crawl and it left me with the same bittersweet feeling that I had experienced when finishing The Mighty Red – the feeling of having finished a cup of tea that I wished I could go back to and have another cup of.
For even more of this type of story, I would recommend “Scarlet Shadows” by Julian Cross. While a good deal darker and set in a dystopian world where color equals power, there is something deeply familiar in the emotional core of the story. It’s a very inside-the-head-of-the-hero type of story and the young man here grapples with trying to be true to himself in a world that is determined to force him to be something else. I loved “The Mighty Red” in part because of the author’s innovative use of visual metaphors to get at emotional ideas (red equals passion, pain, rebellion), and Cross is similarly resourceful with color to similar end. While a far more plot-oriented book than “Mighty Red,” I found myself racing through the pages of “Shadows” and the book’s end has lingered in my mind for months.

I don't know how many chapters there actually are in this book. They all seem to blend together because each chapter follows the story well into the next. I enjoyed the movie adaptation as well. It was a great adaptation because it was condensed to fit into the time of a movie but still managed to get across the spirit of the book. I'm pretty curious to re-read this and find out all of the clever ways that the author set up the structure of the story that nobody has ever mentioned before. I had no idea that a children's book could be so complex beneath the surface of such a simple read.

Waiting for ‘Winds’? How are you all doing? I follow Not a Blog weekly, like a clown waiting for the circus to arrive. I am now completely sure that we will get the outline to ‘Winds’ in George R.R. Martin’s will. A poor author will then complete the work for him. So far, speculation is half the fun for me, but the lack of closure is slowly driving me and I am sure also the rest of the forum members mad, like the same crazy theories about Aerys II Targaryen that we all have come up with.

I agree with you that Zade starts to find pieces of Adeline long before Chapter 17. Her notes about medicine, her style of fighting modified for her injuries that he hears about through rumor, the anonymously funded charity in that town he travels through. Chapter 17 is just the physical finding of her, but he’s been finding her spirit for chapters.

The costumes and production design also told a story. In the early seasons of Game of Thrones, the series felt dirty and real and the armor looked functional and the clothing looked worn. By the end of the series, however, all of the characters had transformed into sleek and clean superheroes, including Daenerys Targaryen who wore all white clothing, and the Night King who had designer icicle armor. The series moved from a historical inspired, realistic aesthetic to a more stylized, high fantasy one, and this transformation in the way the series looked mirrored the series’ shift away from the books and their grounding in historical realities and towards a more mythical and highly stylized world.

My friend who writes fanfiction wrote a 61-chapter long retelling of a certain book as an homage. This meant she had to stick to the original’s structure, chapter by chapter. So she had to find a corresponding modern event for every single key scene in the plot of the book by Austen. It was a really interesting project, because it showed just how deeply embedded the structure of that original work is in our cultural understanding of narrative. The chapter count of a work isn’t just a random number, it’s a template, a rhythm that can be very inspiring for writers to work within. It shows that a work has become foundational to our culture, when its skeleton is just as well known as its content.

I think one of the biggest mistakes the TV show made wasn’t just not including all of the books, but also not including the core theme of the books. George R.R. Martin wrote A Dance with Dragons as a way to explore what happens after the big battle in a story, after the hero has won the war. Again and again in the books, the story subverts familiar fantasy tropes about wonderful and honorable war. The final season of the TV show largely forgot this, and offered up a very familiar fantasy story of heroes and a last-minute ‘election’ of a king. In contrast, the books are trying to unpack the story that the TV show is packing.

Oh man, you're in for a treat! This happens in the last book, ‘Kingdom of Ash’ (around Ch 58/59, I believe someone corrected me though). Oh the build-up to this moment was so incredible after all the separation and torture and war they both went through, it was a lovely moment of calm in the middle of all the chaos. Two broken people finally find their home in each other. Beautiful writing about healing and reclaiming peace after so much war. Yes, you watch them dance around each other for most of the books, but it’s so so so worth it. Don’t rush this though, it’s a slow burn and the pay-off is one of the most satisfying I’ve ever read in this genre.

My edition has 45 chapters, as does my 1877 translation (albeit with slightly different titles). How the 45 chapters of a dusty German study manage to cover the ground of an active Icelandic volcano, to traverse the earth’s strata and cross under the sea to find creatures long extinct, I have no idea. But they do. At breakneck speed. Very little of what I would call ‘filler’ is included. Every chapter brings the story on or introduces some new and, generally, mind-blowing concept. For a book over 150 years old it is remarkably readable and fun. And the chapter count is a feature, not a bug.
