Josh Reviews Game of Thrones Season Seven!
It’s hard to believe that we have arrived at the endgame of Game of Thrones. It wasn’t so long ago that I remember watching the first few episodes of the show, and slowly falling in love with its vast array of characters, its wonderful fantasy world-building, and its rut
