It’s slower than you’d expect but extremely readable. Id suggest this to anyone wanting to get into fantasy because it’s such an easy read.
Sweet Sansa is my favorite. Daenerys is the definition of gaslight gatekeep girlboss.

But, I believe that the narrator did a fantastic job narrating the book as it kept me engaged throughout and I will be continuing onto the second book.

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

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.
