A Song of Ice and Fire

I started with this series by buying first 4 books because of “buy two get third free” deal in a bookshop (in Glasgow). I hardly knew anything about it. I heard that there was a HBO production on the A Game of Thrones but never saw it. A very nice girl at the register asked me ‘You’ve seen the move, haven’t you?’ and when I said that I have not she was a bit surprised. I actually heard people talking about the TV version and that it was good so I risked spending almost £50.

So I started reading. At first I found it a bit difficult to follow with so many people, places and mythology. The more I read the easier it became and after half of the first book I could understand who is who.

I found it relay good read. Demanding but good. I also watched the TV version and found it utterly incomprehensible (I don’t really understand why people judged it good) and was happy to have read it first.

Now I’m impatiently waiting on a paperback of A Dance with Dragons
