However, like Tolkien, I did include a map and a glossary on how to pronounce certain words. :-) Mackenzie Flohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822638758299647713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630863509044352054.post-56128854410564887402017-06-17T15:50:39.932-04:002017-06-17T15:50:39.932-04:00It's interesting to see them in books, I parti...It's interesting to see them in books, I particularly liked the maps in LOTR books and to see what Tolkien envisioned, but family trees it's not something I study. It's fun, but for me, that part doesn't make a book. There are pages and pages of linage at the end of each Game of Thrones books but unless you really have hard time keeping up with who's related to whom and through who, it's not something that I spent time reading. I'm still stuck on the third book. Not because I don't find them gripping, but because I don't think these books would benefit from my review, they are doing excellent with out me. There are small and unknown authors that are crying for reviews, and could use all the help they could get. So I'll read and review them way before I review any big name author out there.

But this is something I should do for every character, as well as working up a short biography and psychological profile for them, which is something a lot of actos do when preparing for a role.Joe Bonadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053954733485203286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630863509044352054.post-42036074938430026432017-06-17T08:10:19.664-04:002017-06-17T08:10:19.664-04:00I love maps and family trees that are added to sto...I love maps and family trees that are added to stories, it helps to visualize places and the relationships and family ties between the characters.
