"A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin is the first book in a best-selling "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. It is an outstanding fantasy. It tells the story of the fictional medieval world in which seasons last for years and end unpredictably.
The story takes place on the fictional continents Westeros and Essos between the 298 and 305 AC (Year after Aegon Targaryen's crowning). The time of prosperity is drawing to an end, and summer, which lasted almost a decade, is fading away. A conspiracy is brewing around the center of control of the Seven Kingdoms, the Iron Throne. So, the king decides to seek support from his youth friend Eddard Stark during this difficult time. In a world where everyone, from the king to mercenary, is eager for power, intrigues, and is ready to stick a knife in the back, there is a place for nobility, compassion, and love. Meanwhile, no one notices the awakening of darkness from legends far in the North - and only the Wall protects the living south of it. Who will win the throne?
There are many unique characters in the plot. This book is slow-paced. It has a detailed plot, so it is rather slow and boring sometimes. Although it is full of action: battles, and plot twists. Also, it is beautifully written. That is a type of book for people who love reading itself. By the way, Script is excellent.
All in all, I thoroughly recommend the first book of a series. As I told before, it is effortlessly enjoyable to read for people who take delight in the process of reading. If you like realistic, sometimes cruel, thrilling story, then it is a perfect choice for you. Don't miss it!
