A Game of Thrones

George R.R. Martin

NOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES—THE MASTERPIECE THAT BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON Here is the first book in the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece. A GAME OF THRONES In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the North of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall.

At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

    I’m not completely sure what to say about this book. It took me so long to actually get into it, but after I did, I definitely enjoyed it. I love the characters and the plot. I’ve always wanted to read this series, and I’m glad I decided to read this. I knew Ned was going to die, but I didn’t realize it would be as soon as it was. I actually cried at that 🫠. My favorite character at the moment is probably Arya. I love her attitude towards people, and how she manages to defend herself. She’s definitely one of the stronger people in this book (mentality). My least favorite is without a doubt Joffrey. There will be no love lost when he inevitably dies. The only reason this book isn’t a five star is because of how long it took me to get into it. Overall, I give it 4.5/5 stars, and I definitely recommend it.
