Summary

For the first time， all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO's "Game of Thrones "are together in one boxed set。 An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other， A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R。 R。 Martin--dubbed "the American Tolkien" by "Time" magazine--international acclaim and millions of loyal readers。 Now here is the entire monumental cycle:
A GAME OF THRONES
A CLASH OF KINGS
A STORM OF SWORDS
A FEAST OF CROWS
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
Winter is coming。 Such is the stern motto of House Stark， the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing。 There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name。 There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife， Catelyn; his sons Robb， Brandon， and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son， Jon Snow。 Far to the north， behind the towering Wall， lie savage Wildings and worse--unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer， but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season。
Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south， where Jon Arryn， the Hand of the King， has died under mysterious circumstances。 Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell， bringing his queen， the lovely but cold Cersei， his son， the cruel， vainglorious Prince Joffrey， and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister--the first a swordsman without equal， the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind。 All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms。
Meanwhile， across the Narrow Sea， Prince Viserys， heir of the fallen House Targaryen， which once ruled all of Westeros， schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki--whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister， Daenerys。

Wikipedia:A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of epic fantasy novels by the American novelist and screenwriter George R。 R。 Martin。 He began the first volume of the series， A Game of Thrones， in 1991， and it was published in 1996。 Martin， who initially envisioned the series as a trilogy， has published five out of a planned seven volumes。 The fifth and most recent volume of the series， A Dance with Dragons， was published in 2011 and took Martin six years to write。 He is currently writing the sixth Wikipedia:A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of epic fantasy novels by the American novelist and screenwriter George R。 R。 Martin。 He began the first volume of the series， A Game of Thrones， in 1991， and it was published in 1996。 Martin， who initially envisioned the series as a trilogy， has published five out of a planned seven volumes。 The fifth and most recent volume of the series， A Dance with Dragons， was published in 2011 and took Martin six years to write。 He is currently writing the sixth novel， The Winds of Winter。 A seventh novel A Dream of Spring is planned。A Song of Ice and Fire takes place on the fictional continents Westeros and Essos。 The point of view of each chapter in the story is a limited perspective of a range of characters growing from nine in the first novel to 31 characters by the fifth novel。 Three main stories interweave: a dynastic war among several families for control of Westeros， the rising threat of the supernatural Others in northernmost Westeros， and the ambition of the deposed king's exiled daughter to assume the Iron Throne。Martin's inspirations included the Wars of the Roses and the French historical novels The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon。 A Song of Ice and Fire received praise for its diverse portrayal of women and religion， as well as its realism。 An assortment of disparate and subjective points of view confronts the reader， and the success or survival of point-of-view characters is never assured。 Within the often morally ambiguous world of A Song of Ice and Fire， questions concerning loyalty， pride， human sexuality， piety， and the morality of violence frequently arise。The books have sold 90 million copies worldwide as of April 2019， after having been translated into 47 languages as of January 2017。 The fourth and fifth volumes reached the top of the New York Times Best Seller lists upon their releases。 Among the many derived works are several prequel novellas， a TV series， a comic book adaptation， and several card， board， and video games。Goodreads:For the first time， all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO's "Game of Thrones "are together in one boxed set。 An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other， A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R。 R。 Martin--dubbed "the American Tolkien" by "Time" magazine--international acclaim and millions of loyal readers。 Now here is the entire monumental cycle:A GAME OF THRONESA CLASH OF KINGSA STORM OF SWORDSA FEAST OF CROWSA DANCE WITH DRAGONSWinter is coming。 Such is the stern motto of House Stark， the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing。 There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name。 There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife， Catelyn;

One of the best pieces of fiction ever laid down on page -- and sadly， left unfinished。 I hope， like everyone else， that we will know what the book end of this story was supposed to be。

This was the first Adult Fantasy series that I have ever read and ever since I have been hooked on the genre。 Sometimes I wish I had started somewhere else though。 I've yet to find another authors whose words captivate me in the way that George R。R Martin does with this series。 George paints a brutal and grimey depiction of a mideval world were one mistake can cost you your life。 This was the first Adult Fantasy series that I have ever read and ever since I have been hooked on the genre。 Sometimes I wish I had started somewhere else though。 I've yet to find another authors whose words captivate me in the way that George R。R Martin does with this series。 George paints a brutal and grimey depiction of a mideval world were one mistake can cost you your life。 。。。more

I have recently been getting into epic fantasy， and so far A Song of Ice and Fire is the best in this genre I have encountered。 Set in a world reminiscent of medieval Europe， it follows an enormous cast of characters of all shades of morality， from the near-perfect Brienne of Tarth to the absolute monster Ramsay Bolton as they make their way through a terrible war and enormous political upheavel， while a magical threat grows up north。 Most of the characters are somewhere in between Brienne and I have recently been getting into epic fantasy， and so far A Song of Ice and Fire is the best in this genre I have encountered。 Set in a world reminiscent of medieval Europe， it follows an enormous cast of characters of all shades of morality， from the near-perfect Brienne of Tarth to the absolute monster Ramsay Bolton as they make their way through a terrible war and enormous political upheavel， while a magical threat grows up north。 Most of the characters are somewhere in between Brienne and Ramsay， between， which I liked; instead of a battle of good vs。 evil， it's about a ton of people working for their own purposes， where the "good guys" have flaws and the "bad guys" sometimes have redeeming traits。 The first 3 books in this series were unquestionably great。 I tore through hundreds of pages of politics， battles， exciting journeys， and characters arcs in a few days。 The books consistently keep readers on their toes， as major character often die， and there are rarely stretches of nothing happening in these books。 It doesn't feel like a ponderous book-more like an addictive tv drama with an added dose of epic scope。 I loved how there were all these different characters wrapped up in their own plotlines， with all those threads tying together to form an excellent saga。 Martin really has a way with characters-each person's thoughts and dialogue feel different， and it's very rare to find someone acting out of character to move the plot forward。 The world-building is strong， in how Martin slowly reveals more and more of the world， rarely giving us answers-what's west of Westeros？ What caused the Doom of Valyria？ I need to know more about the Others！ Sure， I don't get how the ironborn get all their wood， or why this gigantic continent only has 1 language， but whatever。 The last 2 had a noticeable dip in quality。 None of the main plotlines really seemed to be moving forward， and I feel like some of the new characters are straight up unnecessary *cough* Arys Oakheart *cough。* I still keep reading， because I have to see what happens to Jon， Tyrion， Arya， Sansa， Jaime， Theon， Stannis， and so much more。 My other main complaint is that the series isn't finished。 I have only been waiting for The Winds of Winter for a month， and it's already killing me。 There are so many plotlines converging， so many battles and character arcs that I know it's going to be good， but it just won't arrive。 Martin has carefully crafted his magnum opus here。 It is a long， epic series， that has taken over my life with its addictive plotting， strong characterization， and intriguing world-building。 My overall rating: 88/100， or 4。4。 Great character work， good world-building， amazing first three books， but loses sight of the overall narrative in the later books。 I hope The Winds of Winter will improve the series overall。 。。。more

Each chapter of every book so far in George R。R。 Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is a masterpiece in itself。 It's not your typical page turner where you have to know immediately what happens next。 It took me awhile to finish this series actually， almost one book a year。 Each chapter puts you in the shoes of one of the characters and then jumps to another character in the next。 But each chapter is written so vividly and so expertly crafted that you really feel that you are that character。 Once yo Each chapter of every book so far in George R。R。 Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is a masterpiece in itself。 It's not your typical page turner where you have to know immediately what happens next。 It took me awhile to finish this series actually， almost one book a year。 Each chapter puts you in the shoes of one of the characters and then jumps to another character in the next。 But each chapter is written so vividly and so expertly crafted that you really feel that you are that character。 Once you've finished a chapter you need to take a deep breath， step back and just go wow。 It then may take awhile to disengage from being Jon， or Tyrion or Daenerys or Arya before being ready to move on to being the next one。 That's how absorbing it is。 。。。more
