A song of Ice and fire discussion (spoilers incl A Dance with Dragons)

[fool-ish]

I'm not sure if this has been raised here previously (given that I've tried not to spoil things for myself by reading into the posts too much! ) but the maps in my UK version of AGoT annoy me. The southern coastline of the map that can be seen at the bottom of the map of The North differs to the same portion of the southern coastline that can be seen at the top of the map of The South (particularly around the region of The Fingers down to the Bay of Crabs). Even the mountain regions around Riverrun and The Eyrie are different. I like that not!

Is it the same in the US version?

How are they different, Farseer? Here's a copy of the US maps. I think they're the same as the UK versions. The Vale and part of the Riverlands are going to be much less detailed on the North due to the fact they're part of the South.. which is why they're much more detailed on the South map. Is that what you mean?

I'm afraid I don't peruse the maps much I've probably referred to them twice throughout the whole read...mainly to see if I could support my crackpot theories Have you started reading GoT?

Wow, really? One of my favorite parts of reading fantasy books is to have the maps for reference. I flip back to them constantly. In fact, I know these maps so well I could probably draw them from memory.

I know, I know, they're full of information if I'd care to look at them properly. Truly though, maps have never been my thing and they confuse me more than aid me. Now, the appendix is a whole different ball game...those pages are vital to my reading sanity!
