“One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.
Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.
Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

“One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times
“Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times
“The only fantasy series I’d put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings . . . It’s a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don’t read fantasy.”—Chicago Tribune
“Martin amply fulfills the first volume’s promise and continues what seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever written.”—The Denver Post, on A Clash of Kings
“Martin has produced—is producing, since the series isn’t over—the great fantasy epic of our era. It’s an epic for a more profane, more jaded, more ambivalent age than the one Tolkien lived in.”—Lev Grossman, Time
“Addictive . . . George R. R. Martin has created the unlikely genre of the realpolitik fantasy novel.”—Rolling Stone, on A Feast for Crows
“Epic fantasy as it should be written: passionate, compelling, convincingly detailed and thoroughly imagined.”—The Washington Post, on A Dance with Dragons
“I always expect the best from George R. R. Martin, and he always delivers.”—Robert Jordan

I have read everything that Martin has written, and quite candidly most of it blows. But when he is writing about Westeros, he is a god amongst men.
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024
For the readers of this review. I am not going to go into much if any book detail, I am simply going to explain who might like the books and why you might want to read them, along with some of the challenges.
Firstly these are long books, everyone of them. They are not for somebody looking for a 250 page novella or novel, and they are not great stand-alone books. As a series they introduce, and remove, dozens of characters and plot lines. It is actually kind of amazing at how Martin was able to weave so much of this together. If you read the first book, you will undoubtedly need to read the second which leads to the 3rd and so on, they are that good.
To go with the length, the pacing needs to also be talked about. I feel that the books are pretty well paced. They are not overflowing with boundless amounts of action, but there is enough to keep you interested if that is what you are looking for. Political intrigue runs deep and takes up huge chunks of the story line, which is really what makes things so interesting. The plans behind plans, behind plans, behind plans are what these books are really about. Yes the action is there and pretty realistic most of the time, but the politics and social and cultural world that Martin has created is what sucks you in. This is truly a fully-fleshed series, that although it has some cookie-cutter pieces (middle-aged, swords and dragons, magic) it really does not depend on that nor does it really use that as its identity. The identity of this book is real human emotions based on real human decisions and the realities of the world we live in and that Martin created. He did not have to dream up some mythical world that, by its sheer existence is awe-inspiring. He did it by just simply showing what humans are capable of in a pretty familiar setting that just works with the books.
One major challenge is keeping certain characters straight. You start to kind of realize who the major players are, but more than once I would almost need a memory jog on who somebody was or why they were significant to the story. It can be overcome, but there are many many many characters, some minor, some like a medium-minor, some important, and others very key to the story. If you keeps these straight though, it is worth it.
He has some magic but it is more of an undertone really, and has not played much of a part through the 1st 5 books. It is there and may eventually play a bigger role, but up to now it has been minor in most cases (few exceptions).
I would recommend this book to somebody who really wants to dive into something deep and immerse themselves in the world Martin created. It will suck up many hours of your time and you will hate that you have to wait for the final 2 books, but when it is all said and done you will be happy you read them. I loved reading these in the winter, especially scenes beyond the wall and in Winterfell. That almost made me lose myself in the story more to be physically surrounded by snow and reading about it in the book.
As an aside I think the tv show is very good as well and really does a pretty good job of capturing most elements of the book. I would say though, that even if you watch the show before reading the books, you will still get a great experience from each book.
The Barristan chapters were awesome. Quent and the Dornishmen were an interesting new viewpoint for me to follow, and I feel that his and Arianne’s chapters grant awesome insight into Dorne (which the television series sadly glossed over by removing so many influential Dornish characters). I want to see how Jon Connington and Aegon’s story pans out, it is so alien to my television knowledge of this world and I’d love to see more conflict in viewpoint chapters in the southern portion of Westeros. Petyr seems more tame, which I like, and Varys more sinister (I think I like them both more this way). Dany slowly losing empathy as the story goes along is awesome, and it think its inclusion in the show would have made her ending more believable. I liked seeing more of Asha, she’s badass. Theon was great as well, I think his story is better with Jeyne. Sansa being Petyr’s sidekick in the Vale is great because I’d love to see more of the Vale as well.
It was a great read overall, and I’d love to see more in the future.
I'm in the mist of reading these because I loved the television series, so I would say that I'm very happy with this product!
