A GAME OF THRONES A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK ONE With a special foreword by John Hodgman

Winter is coming, and in the frozen wastes to the North, 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.

Gigi reseñó George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones 5-Book Boxed Set de George R. R. Martin

Brilliance to Bloat

3,0 stars

George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series starts brilliantly before losing its way. The first three books create a revolutionary fantasy world where political intrigue trumps magic, actions have consequences, and beloved characters face brutal deaths. However, books four and five introduce too many new characters and locations while leaving countless storylines unresolved. As someone who watched the TV adaptation first, I appreciate how the show attempted to provide closure to Martin's sprawling, unfinished saga. If you're considering diving in, prepare for an incredible beginning that unfortunately spirals into narrative chaos.

Review of 'A Game of Thrones' on 'Storygraph'

4,0 stars

I really wish I read this book before watching Game of Thrones. Remembering the events of the first season meant having to fight my feelings of dread and force myself to keep reading every time I came across an 'Eddard' chapter. I have to applaud GoT creators for staying so close to the book, though reading it added a lot of depth to many characters and relationships and made me re-evaluate my opinion of them.

Overall, a worthwhile read and very hard to put down. Will be continuing on with the series shortly!
