All Men Must Die by Carolyne Larrington

All Men Must Die by Carolyne Larrington

'All men must die': or 'Valar Morghulis', as the traditional Essos greeting is rendered into High Valyrian. And die they do - in prodigious numbers; in imaginatively varied and gruesome ways; and often in pain, terror and ordure within the blood-spattered and viciously unpredictable world that is HBO's sensational evocation of Game of Thrones.

All Men Must Die interrogates and analyses the eight-season arc of HBO’s Game of Thrones on its own terms—not as an adaptationCarolyne Larrington succeeds in explaining how, in spite of the glaring flaws of the latter seasons, the ‘narrative, themes, and characters’ of the show nonetheless represent a compelling version of contemporary medievalist storytelling. Incisively argued and deftly written, this is a worthy follow-up to her earlier, impressive, exploration of the world of Game of Thrones, and an enjoyable read in its own right. * Kavita Mudan Finn, Lecturer in Medieval Literature, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA *
A thorough and insightful dive into various aspects of the worldbuilding in Game of Thrones. * Dr. Shiloh Carroll, PhD, Tennessee State University, USA. *
