The only problem I felt in Martin's writing is that he is a very meandering writer and gives importance to details which are not at all required. The first three books have been a gripping read. I loved the pace of the story and the way it is written. Each chapter ends at a point where you want to know more on what happened next. Reading the third book was exciting and gave me goosebumps. Great expectations, so to speak. From what I had heard about this series, it was better than Tolkien and had basically none of the typical stereotypes of the fantasy genre. It was supposedly well-balanced (something that always appeals to me as a pen and paper player), well-written, and flawless... Nope, it isn't. I've been contemplating my response to this series; it's complicated. On the one hand, since receiving the 1st of the series, I've read all 5 published books. On the other hand, I am continually disappointed in the books. But most people complain about the pace of the series - especially the last two books, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons - and it can be very, very slow. Dance of Dragons is ruthlessly slow and it seems we are going nowhere with the story. The only interesting part of the story was that of Danaerys Targaryen. Others have been boring.

A Song of Ice and Fire (commonly abbreviated as ASoIaF) is an ongoing series of epic fantasy novels by American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. Martin began writing the series in 1991 and the first volume was published in 1996. Originally planned as a trilogy, the series now consists of five published volumes; a further two are planned. In addition there are three prequel novellas currently available, with several more being planned, and a series of novella-length excerpts from the main Ice and Fire novels.I cannot guess where the plot is going and that's a beautiful thing. I'm seriously irritated by the all too common criticism: "I can't tell where it's going." If you knew where it was going why would you bother to read it? Flood,Alison(April 14, 2011).

Martin is an avid student of medieval Europe, and has said that the Wars of the Roses, along with many other events in Europe during that time, have influenced the series. However, he insists that "there's really no one-for-one character-for-character correspondence. I like to use history to flavor my fantasy, to add texture and verisimilitude, but simply rewriting history with the names changed has no appeal for me. I prefer to re-imagine it all, and take it in new and unexpected directions."

The red wedding was genius. But some of this is getting a little too out there. Every time a character gets to a situation that might be a good thing for them, something else horrible happens. Now, I understand that conflict drives a story, but as a reader I need to see the occasional good thing happen for a character I like otherwise it's just depressing.
A Song of Ice and Fire Series 6 Books Collection Set By
I tore through the first three books of this series (“A Game of Thrones,” “A Clash of Kings,” and “A Storm of Swords”). Usually I’m not much of a fantasy-genre fan, but even I liked these first three books.The funny thing with A Song of Ice and Fire as a fantasy series is that there is very little fantasy in it. Like, very, very little. There are 3 dragons, some blood magic, a God of Fire (I can't really remember his name - was it R'hllor?), and zombies made of ice (others or just white walkers), and that is basically it. Apart from that is just epic medieval-ish kings lords knights fiction A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of epic fantasy novels by the American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. He began the first volume of the series, A Game of Thrones, in 1991, and it was published in 1996. Martin, who initially envisioned the series as a trilogy, has published five out of a planned seven volumes. The fifth and most recent volume of the series, A Dance with Dragons, was published in 2011 and took Martin six years to write. He is currently writing the sixth novel, The Winds of Winter. A seventh novel A Dream of Spring is planned. You alone will decide if you would choose to be a Stark, or a Lannister, or a Frey, or a Tully, or a Targaryen, etc.
