                             A Song of Ice and Fire
                                                                              By George R.R. Martine
This is a fantasy series with the last two books with in it yet to be released. This series fallows no main character but in stead fallows a set of different characters who forward a larger series of continental issues. The series has no set antagonist but only characters, some of whom you'll read about through they're own eyes, who fight each other, stop an invasion upon the country, attempt to reclaim homes, and much much more. This series is not for the faint of heart as death, sex, and gore lie just around the next page. Even though the the books have they're fair share gore and violence it also delves into political corruption, proper parenting, correct morals, slavery, the concept of dogmatism, and different religions and the abuse of them. As mentioned before the book has different characters, who you will observe through they're thoughts and feelings from a third person view, soon however you will learn that no character is good nor evil but have bendable morals and will sometimes decide between right or wrong. In conclusion I would heavily recommend this series to any who can stand gore and some questionable content, enjoy fantasy series and enjoy a large plot with characters that have unpredictable actions. Be for warned however each book spans near a thousand pages so it is no light read.

  1. I've never really given fantasy much of a chance, but I wouldn't be surprised if I get drawn in to these books. Do you find that they are some of the better fantasy books you've read? If so, what is it that sets them apart from the work of other fantasy authors?
