While I may not be the first to recommend this series (be it the books and/or television series), I have finally managed to start it and can now safely recommend it. I have been wanting to read this series for a while now, but time and motivation slipped. But now that I have, I can say that I really enjoy the series. As someone who enjoys Fantasy series like the Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings (and all of Tolkien's Middle Earth related works for that matter), this was a series that I knew could peak my interests.
As a fantasy series, I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the detail that went into each character and their story, but still manages to tie back to them in one way or another. Each chapter shuffled between a handful of characters which include Jon Snow, Arya Stark, Tyrion Lannister, and even Daenerys Targaryen and will focus on them and their surroundings. It also has characters that you'd probably recognize if you've seen the show but haven't read the books (i.e. the Stark Family, Daenerys' brother, and Joffrey).
This is a book series for adults given some of the language used, violence, and some of the themes/topics brought up. We have all five main series books and two spin off/prequel books. If you have seen the series but haven't read the books, or are looking for a good read, I would recommend it. And while I personally still have to read through the other books, I think it's really good so far.
