The "Song of Ice and Fire" series of novels is an American "national treasure" literary work, a classic created by the world-class fantasy master George R. R. Martin who has devoted more than 20 years of hard work.
The first five volumes that have been published have won four Locus Awards for Best Novel of the Year, five World Fantasy Award nominations, four Hugo Award nominations and won one, and three Nebula Award nominations for Best Novel.
At present, this series of books has been translated and published in dozens of languages around the world, with sales of nearly 80 million copies, setting off a global "Song of Ice and Fire" craze.
Since 2011, thanks to the promotion of the HBO TV series of the same name, more and more people have been exposed to this classic, allowing it to occupy multiple positions in the top ten of the New York Times bestseller list for a long time.
Jon Arryn died mysteriously at the Hand of the King. Robert Baratheon, King of the Seven Kingdoms, personally visited Winterfell, hoping that Ned Stark, Lord of the North, could serve as the new Prime Minister and work together to govern the kingdom.
Ned was hesitant and reluctantly agreed to help his friend.
At the same time, the extinct creatures in ancient legends began to make plans to return to this ancient continent...
Reader comments
The author's imagination is so rich, it feels like he has created a whole new world. Moreover, the story in the book is also very complicated, and I had to think about many plots for a long time before I could understand them. I think George R. R. Martin is a great writer! I can't wait to read the rest of the story.
The novel is wonderful and contains many details. After reading the original novel, you can understand what some of the plots in the previous TV series are about. Some plots in TV dramas are rather abrupt or seem unreasonable. The novel explains it in more detail. It is very interesting to read. Highly recommended.
It took me an unknown amount of time to read this book. What I mean here is not that it took me too long or too many days to read, but that the time is not displayed when reading this book, which leads to statistical difficulties.
According to my own calculation, the Pomodoro display after reading this book is actually 7:09. However, there is another one, my Pomodoro time is 8:15. I spent some time writing a book review this morning, so it is 8 hours.
However, I have nowhere to tell the real time. Both times are very short, short enough that I can laugh heartily because I am happy that I finished reading a story quickly, but it also makes me look sad. One hour is not a short time.
It has been 13 hours since I posted my last book review, and I finished reading it an hour ago. The real time soon came to light as my records came to light, but it was only a guess, but it was much better than the difference of one hour.
7:57, The world would be a better place if it were displayed like this here.
I originally planned to read the five volumes of the novel in the first half of the year, but I didn't expect to finish the first volume on the first day of September. Logically speaking, this was within the scope of my plan, but my idea was to finish the second or third volume during the transition from the first half of the year to the middle.
Before that, I had to finish watching the TV series No. 7 And No. 8. Unexpectedly, I thought I was too busy yesterday, so I finished watching these two seasons and also read a quite leisurely book.
So when I just woke up this morning, I only dealt with some things that couldn't be saved until the 2nd, and I read it with relish. The size of the font really made me laugh.
Suddenly I didn't quite understand the word. I was upset just because my eyes hurt from reading it. In fact, it dissipated quickly because it couldn't compare with the joy of reading my favorite story soon.
I'm not sure when I will read the second volume, but I hope it will be updated by then, although it won't be that fast, so as not to overlook the plot or details. I have missed enough in this aspect when watching movies and TV series.
But fortunately, I lack patience and am mostly driven by interest. I occasionally do something for the plan, but I believe that the speed at which I read 2-5 volumes will definitely make me feel very strange when I look back on the last day of this month.
There are many more books I want to read this month than last month.
I still don't know if I should re-read a certain book, but God knows why I don't go back and write in my diary about this trouble. I must have imagined the audience. I hope that I can create a real virtual reader in my sleep tonight, so that I will not talk too much about myself in this book review.
That's all.
But I still quite... Really like the original work, which has many rich details. Although people who should forget will always forget. But at least after being washed by movies and TV dramas, you don't need to spend a lot of time to avoid forgetting most of them.
It's really good. It's written in such a way that you'll be immersed in it, and you'll never want to leave. You can also learn a lot about life. Prepare to read all five steps
This is the best western fantasy novel I have ever read
Re-reading this magnificent work again, my thoughts remain the same. The threat of the approaching winter, the wolf cubs born with death, and the dragon mother reborn from the ashes. With the master's superb narrative composition, a strange and magical adventure begins. Looking forward to the next two parts, when can I feel the cold wind of winter and dream of the dream of spring dawn?
The writing is very, very good, and everyone writes vividly.
This book is the best humanities book I have ever read
It has a sense of picture, a pattern, a good beginning, and a rich history.
The most surging, intense and vast epic of the century
Greatness needs no words
Very good translation work
Looking forward to the sequel, enjoy it
I came here after watching the drama and am already addicted to this world.
It deserves to be regarded as a classic of Western fantasy, with political intrigue, glorious humanity, and military battles all here.
