Perfect for you if...

You want fantasy with genuine political intrigue rather than simple good versus evil battles.
You're drawn to ensemble casts where multiple perspectives reveal how the same events mean different things to different people.
You appreciate complex characters who make terrible mistakes for understandable reasons, not cardboard villains.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer a single protagonist to follow from start to finish rather than jumping between dozens of viewpoints.
You're looking for a quick read. This is 800+ pages of dense worldbuilding and slow-burn plotting.
You want your heroes to win and your villains to lose. Goodness is punished here as often as it's rewarded.

About this book

Winter is coming—the motto of House Stark, the northernmost fiefdom under King Robert Baratheon's rule. Eddard Stark governs Winterfell in Robert's name, where his family lives: his wife Catelyn, sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon, daughters Sansa and Arya, and bastard son Jon Snow. Beyond the Wall to the north dwell savage Wildings and creatures of myth that have become deadly threats. A more pressing danger emerges when Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, dies under mysterious circumstances. Robert travels north to Winterfell with his queen Cersei, his son Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of House Lannister—one a master swordsman, the other a dwarf with a brilliant mind. Their arrival sets in motion events that will reshape kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys of the fallen House Targaryen plots to reclaim the throne he once ruled. He gathers an army of Dothraki warriors, purchasing their loyalty with his sister Daenerys, a beautiful and innocent young woman.
