This is the longest book I’ve read that didn’t actually feel very long. The first book in a series always seems tough but this one got the action moving quickly. Fell in love with all the characters (at least the good guys).

the plot and characters are phenomenal, but i took away one star because the male perspective of female characters sucked, especially in the case of daenerys and the glorification of her relationship with drogo. Apart from that this is a cult classic and a must read.
and yes, its better than the show.

Although I was spoiled by the tv show, I still enjoyed the book immensely. If anything, knowing the characters already helped me better understand the story and especially the history behind it.
The book also allowed me to see new facets of characters I thought I knew well. But knowing the thoughts, hopes, dreams and fears of a character makes them the more real.
