Dear Mr Cornwell,

I’m sorry if this email is somewhat dull. I guess it should be seeing that I love Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire, and if they are so dull, I guess I would be a dull person because only dull people can like dull shows.

Let me point out to you that Game of Thrones is anything BUT dull. It is full to the brim with political intrigue, history, dynamic characters, REAL character, the gruesome parts of life and the beautiful parts of life etc. etc. etc.

I could go on about the realistic matters of war and the way magic has been masterfully woven into the story but that would make this email much longer.

However, I just had a thought. Why should I care what one person thinks of this masterpiece while there are many, many other critics and authors who have called George R.R. Martin the new Tolkien. Unless Tolkien is too dull for you as well?

Have a splendid day at your writing desk for I do not doubt your expertise except for on this one matter.

Yours Sincerely,

Cameron Bajraktarevic-Hayward

Thank you for your words on Game of Thrones.  I presume you have seen South Park’s own Game of Thrones episodes where they complain and sing about the number of penises throughout.

I’m looking forward to The Last Kingdom and hope it shows up on BBC Canada.
