bookoholic_bat 's review for:

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
3.5
dark sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Narrator does a fine job portraying the characters. ★ I’m not particularly fond of the book due to its pervasive male gaze, misogyny, sexism, and racism. Some might point to the strong female characters as a counterargument, but when viewed through a male-centric lens, none of these characters truly escape the male gaze.
