A review by snakeboba
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
5.0
Definitely lives up to the praise other readers have given.
I was pleased with how each character's point of view stood alone and progressed the story. There were no overlapping events unless it played to push the plot story forward, we were unable to understand why each piece happened, and a feel for all those who are aiming for the throne. Even though who were not given their own part were fleshed out through other's POV where we were even able to gather where they stood by the end.
--SPOILERS--
I'm displeased by Ned being beheaded even though he set his honor aside at an attempt to save his daughters, yet I get it was to show how much Joff is a boy king and he is not fit to rule despite how much Cersei will push it is his "right". I felt if he was going to be beheaded he should have spoken the truth or at the very least the start of it. I suppose it will serve as a way to give the drive for his children to push forward against the Lannisters and all else who stand against them.
Unfairness is what Dany had to go through. Sure she may have her dragons now, but at what cost? I have a rant in mind and cannot get the words quite together. I feel like she was cheated though. She was forced to marry a man, she ended up loving him, and when he finally was willing to endure the travel over water it was snatched from her as well as Drogo.
