Fantasy Booklist: What Everyone In Game Of Thrones Is Reading
Are you smarter than a make-believe child who kills things?
Daenerys Targaryen: Twelve Years A Slave
Stuck in Meereen, biding her time until she can cross the Narrow Sea and claim the Iron Throne, goody-two-shoes Khaleesi spends her days presiding over the petty gripes of the former slaves who are now her citizens, and are none too pleased about being homeless, jobless and having their children torched by her naughty dragons. A nightly dose of Solomon Northup’s memoir Twelve Years a Slave stokes the flames of her righteous indignation and her self-satisfied altruism — and keeps her from ruminating on whether she made a rash decision in dispatching loyal Ser Jorah for his betrayal.
