Possitive things: Daenerys' story,dragons and whitewalkers.
Negative: Cant write 10 year olds for shit. The rape fantasies are longer(multiple pages) than the loving spouses sex scenes.
The only reason I didnt DNF is cause I wanted to see how it ends but not worth it
All the TWs

Mi mayor miedo cuando comencé este libro fue que iba a ser demasiado, por como pintan a George y toda la saga, que no iba a entenderlo, etc. La verdad es que... no lo es, es súper sencillo. Puedes perderte es con los nombres y los árboles genealógicos.
Siento que en este primer libro la fantasía está menos presente de lo que, posiblemente, va a estar más adelante.
Danny es mi personaje favorito pero leerla también es un dolor porque, mientras a Catelyn y Ned le dan escenas tipo <estaban desnudos porque esa noche habían hecho el amor, a Danny (que es una NIÑA) le ponen escena muuuuuy explícitas. Sé que van a poner de excusa que es porque es por los dothraki pero lo lamento, esa no es excusa suficiente para que la única persona que tiene escenas sexuales explícitas en el libro sea una niña de 13/14 años🤢🤮 Igual estoy orgullosa de ella por todo lo que logró.
Entiendo que para algunos Ned sea su personaje favorito pero, la razón por la que me costó leerlo en dos meses fue porque en enero llegué a una parte donde sus pov's están muy presentes y 💤
Sansa se merece mis disculpas públicas, cuando ví la serie no me caía pero leyéndola me duele😞
La amistad de Jon y Sam 🔝
En fin, lo disfruté y otras veces se me hizo eterno, dependía del pov.

One of the standout features of this book is the depth and complexity of the characters. Martin has created a sprawling cast, each with their own distinct personalities, motivations, and flaws. From honorable and conflicted protagonists to cunning and ruthless antagonists, the characters in "A Game of Thrones" feel incredibly real and multifaceted. The author isn't afraid to take risks, making it impossible to predict who will survive or meet a grisly fate, adding an extra layer of suspense and tension to the story.
The world-building in this series is unparalleled. Martin's attention to detail is meticulous, bringing the Seven Kingdoms to life with vivid descriptions of landscapes, cultures, and histories. The intricate political landscape and the intricate web of alliances and rivalries make for a truly immersive experience. The prose is rich and evocative, transporting readers into a world where dragons soar, magic lingers, and honor can be a deadly weapon. "A Game of Thrones" is a timeless fantasy epic that will undoubtedly stand as a classic of the genre, capturing the hearts and imaginations of readers for generations to come.
