The crazy love for the language structure of Ice and Fire, unparalleled in beauty.
Rhythmic (like poetry) Logical (like laws) Powerful (like judgments) Essentially, it is not literary language, but: philosophical language + religious tone + rule expression, which creates an epic sense. This "mythological perspective language" mainly comes from four major sources: 1) The Bible (judgment structure) 2) Greek epics (heroes and fate) 3) Norse mythology (destiny and winter) 4) Medieval epics (knights and royal authority)
