If I was to choose one art style over others, it would be Art Nouveau, hands down.

I loved Game of Thrones when I first picked it up, but I never finished the second book in the series…
One of the reasons was that the story went in a direction different from my expectations: while I loved how true the story felt when - as in life - you wouldn’t know what happened next and were forced to expect the unexpected, I couldn’t swallow the wake of magic somehow, it just didn’t fit with me at that point.
The second one makes me dread the series unravel, especially since I might keep myself away from the books but it will not be possible with the TV series: I am afraid Gorge R.R. Martin will kill the dragons, at least one of them. I know it would be real, and I know it would be perfectly in line with him proving to his readers that it’s a game of life and death, and that everyone can die (I’m sorry I don’t remember where the quote came from).
Come to think of it, he might kill Dany, too… >_<
