具體描述
First volume of a brilliant new fantasy trilogy: the most powerful, original and absorbing new epic since Stephen Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. The first volume of George R R Martin's glorious high fantasy tells the tragic story of treachery, greed and war that threatens the unity of the Seven Kingdoms south of the Wall. Martin unfolds with astonishing skill a tale of truly epic dimensions, thronged with memorable characters, a story of treachery and ambition, love and magic. Set in a fabulous world scarred by battle and catastrophe over 8000 years of recorded history, it tells of the deeds of men and women locked in the deadliest of conflicts and the terrible legacy they will leave their children. In the game of thrones, you win or you die. And in the bitter-cold, unliving lands beyond the Wall, a terrible winter gathers and the others -- the undead, the neverborn, wildlings to whom the threat of the sword is nothing -- make ready to descend on the realms of men. A Game of Thrones begins the most imaginative, ambitious and compelling fantasy epic since The Lord of the Rings. Thronged with memorable characters, it unfolds with astonishing skill a tale of truly epic dimensions. There have been many pretenders to the throne of Tolkien: now at last he has a true heir.

##我的第一本英文原版書閱讀，居然就是800頁的史詩巨作。事實證明剛開始的艱難和堅持是值得的。美劇迷著實在原著裏收獲瞭不少的額外信息和彩蛋。keep move on
##讀得好艱難，不知道有什麼好看
##照這個速度讀個大半年不成問題
##聽的Roy Dotrice朗讀的有聲版
##...and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.

##recap瞭一下，晚上開始補第二本。
##各自為政的諸王經過厚厚的第一捲之後終於各懷鬼胎地錶明瞭自己的陣營，漸漸形成瞭四國演義的局麵，好戲纔剛剛拉開序幕，我好喜歡艾莉婭啊，順便鄙視一下珊莎，隻是沒想到她的報應來得如此之快，4顆星
