A Game of Thrones (Book 1 of A Song of Fire and Ice) by George R.R. Martin

Holy Fucking Shit!!!

This book was amazing.

I picked it up to read after getting hooked on the HBO series. I haven’t been this excited by a TV show since LOST so I really wanted to read the books.

It is a long book but it doesn’t read like one. It moves fast, and is really beautifully written. You can the dark gritty world of The Seven Kingdoms. The lore is well crafted and it is easy to get sucked in and not want to leave.

I am on to book 2 now and so excited to see what happens next.

Knights, Kings, Dragons, Love, Sex, Murder, Betrayal…it’s all in here.

 

This series has bumped Harry Potter down to my 2nd favorite series.
