A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

adventurous challenging dark tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Martin's first novel in ASIF truly works wonders to introduce readers to this fascinating world of battle and conquest, and a wee bit of magic here and there. Rarely have I found a better introduction than this, and obviously Fellowship, but Tolkien is always the comparison point.
