All Men Must Die: Power and Passion in Game of Thrones by Carolyne Larrington
Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic
Genre: Entertainment | Nonfiction (Adult)
Release Date: January 28, 2021

All Men Must Die by Carolyne Larrington is a study of the show Game of Thrones.

I really struggled with this book. I thought it would be fascinating to view one of my favorite shows from a different perspective. Instead, I found it to be the opposite.

The author divides the book into six different sections covering a variety of topics from identity, power and knowledge, and gender and marginalization. The author did share some interesting photos that showcase different locations or sets from the show. That was neat.

I really wanted to like this book, but it read more like a textbook.

I'm so grateful to Carolyne Larrington, Bloomsbury Academic, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

To be honest, I just really couldn't get into this book. I figured this would be accessible for the general audience, yet this is very much an academic thesis meant for insiders with specialized jargon. I went in thinking I would be able to learn something interesting about a show I both loved and hated in equal measure, but struggled to figure out what the author was saying.
