Yeah, as always, I’m the last one to the party. ‘Better late than never’ is a poor, overused excuse I give myself, but that is what it is.
The measure of my excitement with this book was outstandingly momentous. A Game of Thrones, Book 1 of A Song of Ice and Fire series is an amalgam of many things. Many great things, to be precise. GRRM is believed to be the lord of fantasy-lore, and this book lives to it's creator's name.
