Books: A Game of Thrones

 






A Song of Fire and Ice Book One
A Game of Thrones
by George R.R. Martin

I never heard of the series of A Song of Fire and Ice by Martin until I chanced upon the HBO trailer for the first season of Game of Thrones. And honestly, only after watching the entire first season (10 episodes mind you) did I decide that I should probably start reading the books.

There is a whole plethora of information out there on Martin and the books which were originally meant to be a trilogy  and now has 5 books to the series name with a reported 2 more scheduled.

Everyone is pretty much in raptures about the HBO series, but the books are somewhat of a different quality. I think HBO did credit to the books, which are so much more vivid in description and detail as compared to the show.

If you're looking for a good read, I'd suggest first checking out the pilot episode of the series and deciding from there. It's not a book that everyone would enjoy, as odd as I find it, some people just don't like fantasy as a genre.

Give me dragons, swords and heroic tales and I'm in. I can't wait to start Book Two. :)

If you read it, let me know what you think.

Peace lovies.

Til the next post.
