I finally got around to reading this book through all the other literatures that I needed to read in this past semester.
A Game of Thrones is a fantasy novel based in the Seven Kingdoms…somewhere far off where the dragons have left the lands and the king rules all along with his trusty sidekicks across the realm.
Alas, not all is well and the King’s right hand man is dead. So the King’s ever faithful friend Eddard Stark comes in to help as well as secretly look into the rumours that this may have been a murder.
This book is excellent. EXCELLENT! It’s quite long, but never boring. The chapters focus in a few characters stories spread out across the land and how they intertwine with one another’s.
I enjoyed the freshness from other fantasy novels and the intricate story that was laid out. I quickly went out to buy the next book in the series and did not balk at the 1000 pages that are spread out before me to read. Chances are, the new school semester will put a hold on reading this for awhile.
I would recommend this both to fantasy novel aficiandos and also those who just enjoy a good read.
