If you have both seen Part 3 of HBO's The Game of Thrones and have also read the GRR Martin books, could you please drop me a line or comment here?  I have a question. 

ETA:  OK, got plenty of folks, thanks!  I won't close the Comments section, but you can stop volunteering. ;)

So here's my question:  At the end of PART 3 of the TV series, the little girl's getting the sword lesson . . . Which novel is that in?  And which chapter/page?  I'm very curious to know how close to the text in the book is the script on the screen.

ETA:  OK, everyone, got it - many thanks!

[livejournal.com profile] ellen_datlow just sent the authors this delectable advance review from Publishers Weekly:

Naked City: Tales of Urban Fantasy
Edited by Ellen Datlow.. St. Martin's Griffin, $25.99 (560p) ISBN 978-0-312-60431-8; $15.99 trade paper ISBN 978-0-312-38524-8

Datlow (Digital Domains) adds to her already lengthy list of impressive anthology credits with this compilation of 20 original stories from some of the best-known names in urban fantasy. For newbies, her short but informative intro clearly lays out the boundaries of these works, which combine "the often-dark edge of city living with enticing worlds of magic." Jim Butcher's "Curses," a humorous short story linked to his Dresden Files series, is a nice change of pace from his increasingly grim novels. Ellen Kushner's "The Duke of Riverside" gives the origins of the romance between Alec and St. Vier, heroes of her novel Swordspoint. Lavie Tidhar's "The Projected Girl," set in Haifa, Israel, features a boy's search for the truth behind a legendary magic trick. Other notable contributors include Lucius Shepard, Patricia Briggs, and Melissa Marr. (July)

...oh, um,  we're talking notables? Can we mention John Crowley, Richard Bowes, Pat Cadigan, Jeffrey Ford, Holly Black, Naomi Novik, Peter S. Beagle for chrissakes I mean it's an honor just to have my name on the same ToC page with these writing gods!  I'd call them notable.  Yow.
