New review: I was so wrong. I didn't realize how good this book was, I was too young to appreciate it.

I did not think I would read another fantasy book. But I enjoyed this book very much. In spite of stock characters like Jon Snow. HBO probably changed some storylines subtly to give more depth to the female characters.

..the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.

I’m reading the books after finishing the TV series, and it’s providing so much more insight into the characters and how they interact with each other. It honestly feels like I’m learning so much more about all of my favorite characters, and I love it!

Nothing made me love the book but i hated the shock graphic scenes. Just gruesome and unnecessary.

"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.There is no middle ground."
Actual rating:4.5
Going into this, for some reason I thought I'd hate it. That was not the case. I really liked it. George R.R. Martin created an amazing world filled with strong characters. Now, I was spoiled for some things, because I had watched like the first three episodes for the TV show (stupid, I know). Going into this, based off of those three episode I thought Daenerys would be my favorite character, little did I know that my favorite would turn out to be Arya. I didn't expect to like Jon and Tyrion so much either. I was kind of meh on Robb, Bran, and Sansa. I did not like Eddard

Spoiler

don't have to worry about him though anymore!

,Cat, every Lannister ever (except Tyrion), and Khal Drogo/basically the Dothraki in general. There were things I didn't like,

Spoiler

all the rape and misogyny

but all in all a great start to a series that I will be continuing with soon.
