This series is some of the most fun I've ever had reading. The first three books are amazing. Sadly, the quality of the fourth book falls off a cliff. The fifth book is much better than the fourth, but doesn't reach the heights of the…

This book is a very easy and quick read, despite its length. It's straightforward fantasy with a good dose of horniness. Lot's of fun, though I don't think it sold me on pursuing the rest of the series.

A Game of Thrones is the first book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, written by George R. R. Martin. It is acclaimed for its genius plot and sophisticated character development. Game of Thrones was also adapted for HBO. The story is…

I read A Game of Thrones based on a recommendation so I finished the whole book because of that as well as the fact that its an easy read despite its length. However, compared to other books in this genre I would rather have spent the time…

This fantasy has the most complex, nuanced, morally ambiguous characters of any series I’ve read. European history buffs and fans of historical fiction will appreciate the allusion to The War of the Roses. If you like the HBO TV series,…

I love that this book is available as an ebook with the dyslexia font! It's also available as a downloadable audiobook. These formats are helpful for neurodiverse readers like me.

You might have heard of the phrase “Game of Thrones” before, whether that’s on YouTube ads, articles, or simply because of the well-known tv show of this book series. In fact, the tv show is currently ranking fourth in the world’s most…

I loved this book! I read it after watching the series, but wish I had read it before watching. George R.R. Martin's twists for characters' fates keeps you uncertain that what you think is going to happen in this book is actually going to…

I strongly recommend this read for fantasy loving adults! This story is not at all easy to predict! George R.R. Martin does a great job with world building and descriptions. Every time you think you've figured out the hero, something in…

Mr. Martin hits his stride from the get-go. His writing is so fluid here that he could have made baking bread interesting. Bloody brilliant.

This is a very addictive read ... I had trouble putting it down.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I just don't get the hype for this book. Every time you start to like a character, they're killed off. There's so much going on that it's incredibly hard to keep all of the characters in your head. And,…

A Game of Thrones is an interesting book. Basically, the plot revolves around several ruling dynasties/houses in a medieval-like fantasy setting fighting against each other for claim to the iron throne. George R.R Martin writes well, and…

Simply the greatest fantasy series ever written. Yes, better than Tolkien, and, yes, I will fight you. I first read this in 2000, and have been obsessed ever since.

The book that starts the immense magical saga of A Song of Ice and Fire! The world building and character building process is mind-boggling and makes the reader yearns for the subsequent titles! A definite must-read!

I binged the entire seven seasons of the show in just a month, and when I found out it was based on a book I knew I had to read it. It is extremely well thought out and a good read for anybody who is a fan of medieval/fantasy novels.

Really liked this book. (I haven't seen the TV series.) It's a fairly easy read and a page-turner. Great character development. Because of the length, and lack of reading time, I had to check it out multiple times to finish. Worth the…

Don't get attached to any character. Just don't.

After becoming a huge fan of the show...and now having to wait for-e- ver for the final season to air, I felt it was a good time to get into the books (fill the GOT shaped hole in my heart). Such a great book and fairly easy read! There…

This book is the start of one of my favourite series to date; ASOIAF is the perfect blend of high fantasy and political intrigue, and though the length of the books might appear to make it a large undertaking, every page is worth it. The…

Loved this book! It is written in different POV which I really liked, it made me feel like I got to know the characters well. The story line is amazing. I felt like I cheated by watching the series first, but it is still worth the read.
