I'm reading Dance with Dragons the fifth book by George R.R. Martin's series. I don't remember him being this heavy-handed before. I've read at least five instances where different characters at different times have used the words "Blood and Fire." Not either/or, but that phrase. It's a bit much.
If you're trying to tell me something, I got it. Good foreshadowing. If you're not then it's just bad writing and even worse editing. I get it that the book is a monster, but seriously, knock it off.
Otherwise it is highly recommended by this wanna be author.

Just finished it, too! Liked it, but still not as much as first 3 books. Re: 'blood and fire,' I don't remember every instance they were used, but those are the Targaryen house words, which is probably why that phrase is repeated so much.
