Of A Song of Ice and Fire and Rape as Wallpaper

I love Game of Thrones (the TV show). In fact, I may be obsessed: I am currently re- watching the second season; Season Three starts on March 31; I am re-reading (more accurately re-skimming) the second book, A Clash of Kings.

That doesn't mean that I don't have problems with the show or the books.

I wrote about  my issues with the books before. Then I read this post via a link from Shakesville. Sophia McDougall said, "I found I couldn’t cope with rape as wallpaper."

Sophia said it much better than I did; I couldn't find the right words.

Although Sophia stopped reading, I continued with the series, despite my misgivings.  And I'm looking forward to Season Three.
