2. The books are about war so that's no surprise

But I'm curious to see how the world would look under Daenerys Targaryen as the ruler, if only to show us what kind of a dictatorship that would be with deadly fire breathing dragons in the mix. The rest of the people lusting for power has happened thousands of times in history, but no one has ruled with deadly dragons before. I find myself hoping we'll see that.

And I like that Jon Snow's story promises a whole slew of terrifying dark magic denizens erupting in grotesque darkness from beyond the wall.

All the rest are just dull power struggles we're quite familiar with in our history.
