I've always liked Purefoy (Solomon Kane is crazy underrated), but his reasoning is friggen retarded...

Yep. Rome had some things going for it, but it dried out story wise when Ceasar (Cieran Hinds) was assassinated. GOT is playing on a much larger canvas - we are 2 seasons in and it feels like the fireworks is only just now about to begin.

My dilemma is whether I should continue with book 3 now that Season 3 will air in 2 months.

I loved Rome's first season...the second was rushed because (if memory serves) they already knew they were canceled so they just wrapped up all the arcs in horrible fashion...I'm a huge history buff (specifically military history), and I feel there was plenty for them to mine...particularly, Marc Anthony and Cleopatra, and the rise of Octavian Augustus (and the Second Triumviarte); all of which I was really looking forward to...too bad it all went to hell...

And you're worried about reading book 3..? I haven't even finished 2 yet..! lulz...

I was very sad when they cancelled Rome. And I agree the second season was very rushed and felt it was missing a lot. I heard they might make a movie but it seems that might have fallen through. Ray Stevenson mentioned that at comic con when he was being interviewed during the Punisher: Warzone press junket.
