The story follows a political conflict across the "Seven Kingdoms" that focuses on the struggle for the Iron Throne, and also the other great houses. In Essos, the story focuses on Daenerys' upcoming fight to reclaim her right to the Iron Throne, bestowed upon by her father. In The Night's Watch in the North, we see a new threat called the "Others" that threaten the lives of people across the Seven Kingdoms and Jon Snow's dilemma between fulfilling his duty for the Night's Watch and fighting his half-brother's war for the independence of the North.
George RR Martin shines with introducing different characters from the POVs of a limited number of characters, making the story interesting. He also shares the history of the realm and integrates it in different conversations between characters.
This book takes its time in setting up the base of the storyline. However, it is worth the set-up once things get going in Westeros. It's a must-read book.
