Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire)

In 'Game of Thrones,' you win, or you die—this could be about surviving the series with your emotions intact. George R.R. Martin writes at the speed of a glacier and with the warmth of one, too. But, admit it, the political intrigue and the never-ending fear of your favorite characters dying have you hooked. It’s like watching extreme chess with dragons and plots so thick you need a Valyrian steel blade to cut through them.
