Notice Out Of Books Dreamsongs, Volume I (Dreamsongs #1)

Review is also available on my blog The Shameful Narcissist Speaks.Every great writer starts somewhere, but there are few who display their first fruits in a compendium for all to read. George R R Martin, author of the soon to be legendary A Song of Ice and Fire series, is one of those few. Dreamsongs, broken into two volumes and those volumes themselves split into several sections, shows the rough and the rougher in the initial part and later the luster when time and experience serves to

Heres what George R.R. Martin said in 2003: "I was a lot better at starting stories than I was at finishing them" Isnt that just terribly hilarious? But let's move on.George R.R Martin is such a versatile writer. His ease at switching numerous point of views is testimony to this in A Song of Ice and Fire. But, he has also written many other novels and short stories. Hes just as adept at writing science fiction as he is fantasy. For Martin fans who dont read beyond his masterpiece are really

Like most, my introduction to George RR Martin was A Song if Ice and Fire series.I read it because I started the show and wanted to become a smug book reader. I fell in love with his writing. That made me want to see what else hed done.Apparently he was a long established editor and short story writer. This volume contains the first half of his collected short stories separated up into early writings, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The audible version has recorded introductions from

Okay so GRRM is a fantastic writer, and my only issue with this entire anthology, is that half the time he has no idea how to write women.It definitely got better the more he wrote, and so in the later works, the women actually feel like real people. But god the first couple stories with women in them were exhausting to get through



One day I might write a more comprehensive review of this. For now I'll just put down my thoughts on some of the stories.The Fortress - A lot of fun to read, it was interesting to see Martin's take on a piece of Finnish history.The Exit to San Breta - A scifi ghost story. Not earth-shattering or mind blowing, but definitely original and clever.The Second Kind of Loneliness - One of my favourites. Hit very close to home, got me crying. The ending is chilling.With Morning Comes Mistfall - A very

I loved most of the stories in here. Great volume of stories.
