Shelves: fantasy, 2015

I loved it!!!! If you are a fantasy lover drop whatever it is you are reading and start this book series...
He is definitely the master of Fantasy...
Reasons why I loved this book:

1. The events are narrated from the characters' perspective which is a technique I always liked. It helped me understand the characters better and remember their names (there are a lot of names in here- it looks like a phone book).

2. When I read fanatsy books I am almost always able to see the absurdity of what it it I ...more

I was initially not interested in reading this because I have watched all of the TV show that has aired. But I was curious and thought I would try at least the first book. There has to be a reason why it is so talked about.

GRRM should be worshipped. This is epic! I can now see why it is so popular. Even though I had a bit of an idea what would happen because of the show, it was still very exciting. Battles, blood, bastards, beatings, betrayals - it is all there and that is just book #1! Don't le ...more

Last night I finished reading A Song of Ice and Fire. It was difficult to leave that world with all its' intrigue and hardships. This book is an excellent introduction to all the characters and families in the Game of Thrones. The relationships of the Starks, the Lannisters, and others are much more clear to me now. The characters have come to life for me and I can't wait to continue the saga in print. ...more
