A Game of Thrones

After the disappointing end to the show I finally decided to pick up the original story and damn... I'm so glad I did. I was anticipating to like it as I loved the show so much before it fell from grace but I'm still pleasantly surprised by how good Martin's writing and imagination is. The hype behind ASOIAF is truly justified so far from the first book alone.

As I read I couldn't help but still be in anguish and worry as I followed certain characters take their gradual steps towards their fate. I knew everything that was coming as the first season follows the first book to a tee but I still couldn't help but feel for the mourning characters I love.

The heightened detail that George shares in the book is mesmerizing and I've never read anything like it. The characters that I hated and love from the show only had me love and hate them even more.

Can't wait to continue on my journey through the series and maybe if I take my time The Winds of Winter will be close once I reach A Dance of Dragons but somehow I don't think it will take me long.
