From Little Stack
There’s no denying it—A Song of Ice and Fire was the world’s most famous grimdark series even before the TV adaptation. What stands out about this whole series is the epic yet incredibly real-feeling world-building, the characters with all their varying shades of morality (from Ned Stark the heroic lord to Ramsay Bolton’s sick, twisted psychopath), and the shocking plot twists.
Every book has something (or a few somethings) that absolutely surprised me. I couldn’t believe what he put his characters through, and I had to keep reading to find out where this war of kingdoms was going next.
In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the North of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall.
At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.
Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
