Because I watched the show, the book was easy to keep up with. If you never saw the show then take your time. Im actually pretty glad that the show stuck to the main idea of the series. There were a couple of small things that were not mentioned in the show that I actually appreciated. 

Overall pretty great writing, world building and amazing character development. I hate almost every character beside Eddard and Jon and Bran. Again, if you never seen the show, TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THE STORY.  I would say write a summery after each chapter.

a very strong start to an epic fantasy series. martin weaved multiple pov's, separate plotlines, and a staggering cast of characters with ease. his prose is descriptive without being overindulgent. his handling of the dothraki, and how so many women dies in childbirth is :/ his cishet white man shenanigans aside, i loved this book. even at several hundred pages (what the fuck george) heed all content warnings.
