Description

In the land of the Eight (or was it Six?) Kingdoms - where seasons can last decades and comparisons to Tolkien a lifetime - trouble is brewing. For the Barkers of Summerseve, times are about to get as tough as the pronunciation of 'Daenerys Targaryen'.From this world of outdoor fornication with horse-people (and indoor fornication with blood relatives) comes an epic story of novella proportions as the Barkers, their BFFs, and their enemies strive to star in that funniest of concepts- a parody of George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones.'The literary mash-up we're dying to see!' i09.com 'There was a bloodied knife on Allbran's bed. Lady Gateway Barker knew what she had to do; what all the royals in Summerseve did when somebody tried to kill a member of their family- gather up a bunch of people and horses, and go from one place to another.'This is the hilarious parody of the George R. R. Martin bestseller A Game of Thrones.

Reviews

The literary mash-up we're dying to see! * i09.com * If you can't get enough of the Starks, Lannisters, dragons, battles, and romance, check out the clever parody by George R. R. Washington called A Game of Groans. Be prepared to laugh and groan out loud at the humour you'll encounter on every page. This makes a great gift for fans of the original book and/or show. Adults will really enjoy this funny take on an already excellent fantasy novel. * Sacramento Book Review * Irreverent ... sure to give fans a few laughs. * Sacramento Bee * Quirky and fun, this book has humour as well as a cracking concept. Four stars * Customer review *
