Martin's fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, which is currently five books long and not yet complete.
So, if you picked up this book hoping for an escape into an anxiety-free land of enchantment and chivalry, then you're probably going to be disappointed: A Game of Thrones may be fantasy, but it's also very real.Ī Game of Thrones is the first book in George R.R. But it also has sex, murder, conspiracy, mutilation, incest, rape, and worst of all, lice. It's got all the things you want in an epic fantasy novel: knights, castles, war, barbarians, strange gods, made-up languages, and even dragons (sort of).
A Game of Thronesis like The Lord of the Rings meets the nightly news.
