(Mandatory reading for school)
As much as I would've liked to love this book - the game off thrones serie seems amazing - I didn't. The drawings were quite good but at least 3 of the main characters looked exactly the same and until someone actually mentioned who the person was, I had no idea which of the three he might've been. The storyline is really confusing too. The only ones, out of the many, that I could follow were that of Daenerys and that of Bran and Aerys. I won't be reading the second one, but I might try the serie. Would I recommend this? Yes, but only if you already saw the series or are familiar with the storyline, the world and the characters AND above all, like graphic novels (I'm not that much of a fan of them.)

Grafické zpracování se mi hrozně líbilo. Zjistila jsem tam pár drobností navíc oproti seriálu (na knihy se teprve chystám). Jediné, co mi občas vadilo byly některé dialogy, které mi přišly docela nesmyslné. Až jsem si říkala: Cože? Tohle vážně řekl? nebo Oni vážně říkají Daenerys Danny? :,D

Ainda tenho que ver se arranjo estas graphic novels em inglês para confirmar se alguns dos problemas que que senti na linguagem utilizada foi devido a tradução ou se é de origem. Não gostei tanto como pensei que iria gostar, tendo em conta o quão fã sou desta série.

unladylike's review against another edition

My biggest complaint about this sequential art adaptation of A Game of Thrones is the number of typos and other editing oversights. Considering the spotlight this series has on it right now, some of the mistakes and revelations in the bonus behind-the-scenes material struck me as tasteless and surprisingly low-budget. For example, the description of the auditioning process for the artist says more about the need to find an artist who would work nonstop for lower pay than it did about the art actually being better than the others who wanted the job.
Overall, though, I was thoroughly satisfied with this graphic novel, having just finished the source material days before starting it, and am eager for the subsequent volumes to be released.
