A Game of Thrones
A Song of Ice and Fire Book One
By George R. R. Martin
Winter is coming, this is the ominous
saying of the Starks of Winterfell when the winter does come back it will bring
with it creatures of old tales. Though Winter is on its way this is not the
only problem the House of Stark faces when The Hand of the King dies the king
himself requests that Eddard Stark become the new Hand and help him rule his
kingdom throwing Eddard Stark and his family into a game full of lies,
espionage, and murder. Across the sea the former prince barters his own sister
for an army of warriors in hopes of gaining his rightful place, but the cruel
prince underestimates the people his sister has become a part of.
There is no way to truly encompass
this novel in a short synopsis, not only because it is eight hundred pages long
but because the author seems to encompass almost every genre imaginable. I
imagine if some authors try this they will find a jumbled mess in their hands
but George R. R. Martin managed to bring together a novel that is truly epic
and seamless in its telling. Not only does the author write a beautiful story
between his characters making you fall in love with each one he also manages to
make you hate the villains so much so that you almost wish they would soon get
what they deserve. To me this is the mark of a brilliant novel, many authors
can make you fall in love with characters but very few can make you hate
them.
