Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones is now a TV series that most of you will have heard about if not seen. But before it was made into a TV show it was a fantasy fiction series- A Song of Ice and Fire. Which ever way you have encountered George R. R. Martin's story, I'm sure that you will agree that it is refreshingly different from most stories out there today. Now being a huge fan of the books, I was worried and skeptical of whether a TV show could convey the plot complexities or do the books any justice at all. I held out from watching the TV version until my house mate convinced me to watch it.

GRRM has created an entirely new and complex world. It’s widely spoken of as being one of the most influential fantasy fiction series, ranked amongst the likes of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. He is an author who has no qualms about killing off your favourite character. No one is truly ‘good’ or ‘bad’ which for me made it such a compelling read and more similar to real life than any other fantasy book I’ve read. The plot consists of a power struggle for the throne of the seven kingdoms.
