Games of Thrones is an exceptional high fantasy novel by the masterful George R.R. Martin, the first in his “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. The novels are expertly crafted, with a particular attention on character development that is unrivaled in the fantasy genre. The fine folks at HBO are attempting to translate Martin’s written word to the television medium. My excitement is uncontainable.
“Inside Game of Thrones” not only introduces the story, characters and world through clips and interviews - but also reveals the creative team behind this effort. Martin, who is actively writing the series (his 5th book is released in July) is also very much involved in the process. Peter Jackson’s crew filming LOTR could only make their best estimation when channeling Tolkien’s vision to the screen, but Martin will be able to shape and guide the story as a living guardian of his tale.
I will absolutely be reviewing this series when it launches in April - but in the meantime, I suggest you grab the book and start reading. Cheers!
