Review Detail of Darth_Wartriarr in Game of Thrones: Blood and Winter

This is probably one of the best ASOIAF fics I’ve read and yes, I know that it’s put under GOT, but let’s face it, if I’ve read the books then this story is for u. U can just tell how much care and attention to detail the author has put into this. Some actions and schemes catch u completely off-guard and leave u asking why they’re doing that. But then the author turns around and reveals that he didn’t just put it in there for shits and giggles. He actually knows his shit and what he’s doing. Another thing I love besides the world building and political understanding of the world, is that the author understands how visions in ASOIAF work. They’re not the end all be all and are quite frankly, confusing af. They don’t give u the answers outright and as a wise turtle once said, one often meets the destiny on the road they take to avoid it. Visions in ASOIAF give u all the answers, but their hidden in riddles and presented in ways that hide the truth. As a result, more often than not, visions lead u to making the wrong decisions or like in Harry Potter, it becomes self-fulfilling. This shows itself in the whole Ironborn issue, which spoilers, does happen. The reason being, the visions don’t provide all the answers and Robb who still loves and trusts Theon, believes that by sending him to the Iron Islands he can avoid an Ironborn invasion of the north, but then lo and behold, it turns out to be the very thing that causes it. We know that, but Robb didn’t and he learned that mistake which I think is amazing. The author isn’t make Robb steamroll over his enemies like he did in the beginning and while it seems that way at the start, the longer the war goes on, more and more of robb’s shortcomings come to light. He’s not a Gary Stu, he’s not a perfect King, he’s just a perfect field commander. This alone is something I love because often when u read a Robb story, they make him a Gary Stu which completely defeats the purpose of his character. So in my personal opinion, read this story. If u love the books then read this book, the author seems to know and understand what he’s on about. And he also seems to have a wider plan for the story which I’m looking forward to reading.
