I wish GoT didn't have dragons. I was okay with the whitewalkers so long as they were irrelevant.Agrippina wrote:I don't like fantasy in the sense of vampires and walking dead, and especially not fairies. Yet I like LOTR and this story. Perhaps it's the drama, or the feel of history more than fantasy.
The dedication at the beginning of Book 3 makes me think that Martin was of two minds on the fantasy stuff, and he has said that he doesn't make an essential distinction between fantasy and sci-fi. Even on the dragons, he is insistent that they are four-limbed wyverns, because it doesn't make evolutionary sense (!) for them to be six-limbed.
