Book Review of A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Bk 1)

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Bk 1)
reviewed epic saga on + 21 more book reviews


This is an epic saga and I want to read more-as a matter of fact I am ordering the 2nd book after I finish this review. It has every thing you would want from a fantasy novel(mind you not my normal genre )without being over the top with magic,wizards or witches.It has heroes,though sometimes you do not know who to route for.It has ladies and Lords and Knights.When I first started this book I did not know if I even wanted to read it,but after the prequel the novel sucked me in and I could not wait to open the pages and be swept away into this fascinating realm. The only draw back was the huge cast of characters that was at times difficult to figure out which character belonged to which family ,though the Author did break it down chapter wise from the prominent characters point of view so you knew who`s eyes you were seeing the story unfold. On a side note my 17 year old son loves this book!
