James Hibberd - Valar Morghulis

"A wonderful read that has everything we wanted to know: how it all started, how it ended, the triumphs and failures that accompanied the difficult decisions. James Hibberd knows where the bodies are dumped. We find them all reading the book."
(George R.R. Martin)

The beheading of Eddard Stark, the Red Wedding, the Battle of the Fatties, The Long Night... We haven't talked about any TV series as much in recent years as Game of Thrones. No other series has evoked so much fanfare, caused so much mass hysteria and become the subject of many important cultural and social debates. Hundreds of millions of people saw the most famous and infamous scenes of the Game of Thrones, followed the trials of the characters, but James Hibberd, a journalist of Entertainment Weekly, observed all this from behind the scenes of the filming.
Based on more than 50 exclusive interviews and the author's filming experiences, Valar Morghulis is almost as twisty a read as George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice saga. It shows how books that were thought to be unfilmable became the world's biggest TV series, what pitfalls and logistical nightmares the producers had to deal with, and how Game of Thrones raised the genre of TV series to a new level.
Hibberd doesn't hide the less glorious details either: the ordeals of the crew members and actors, who often struggled with exhaustion, the minor and major scandals that accompanied the series, and the last season that divided the viewers.
After reading Valar Morghulis, we will look at Game of Thrones with new eyes, and don't be surprised if we want to spend more days and weeks in the world of Westeros and Essos
