This series is what truly shaped my love for reading. I started around 2016 having not read a book since high-school, I read the first 13 chapters in one sitting and I didn't think it was possible for a book to hold my attention for more than 30 minutes.

This series is just built different and it got me into reading fantasy. I’m reading The Stormlight Archive right now and loving it, but I have come to accept that A Song Of Ice And Fire is in a league of its own. The world is so well imagined that George could release a book about some random guy running a tavern and I would be enthralled. Even his random non pov characters and their dialogue are memorable. Whenever I feel a bit depressed, I pick up this series and it cheers me up.

Have you read the Kingkiller Chronicles? For me it's up there with my all time favorites along with ASOIAF, I know Mike doesn't enjoy the series as much but to each their own haha. If you haven't read em already (fair warning that there are only two books and a novella in the series so far, fans have been waiting ten years for book three but hopefully it's going to be released soon) then I highly recommend it

@@Trepanation21 THE EXPANSE IS INCREDIBLE! This is one of the reasons why I liked it so much, although not quite as much as ASOIAF but still. The Sci-fi realm is tbh a part of the fantasy genre, just focused on the future instead of the past, but with the same focus on creativity and "magic". The author being related in that way to GRRM makes perfect sense

@@miyoko_17 yeah the conversations are enthralling. Kind of somewhat reminds me of the conversations in the Dune books. And despite the pace slowing down a bit compared to the first three books, shit still very much goes down in AFFC. What happens in regards to Brienne is very, very wild and intense to read. I highly recommend Preston Jacob’s series he did about Brienne’s chapters in Feast. It reveals just how much detail and thought George put into her story in that book.

I came to this series about 2006, which was coincidentally _juuuust_ before industry murmurs started about HBO potentially picking it up. I was deployed at the time, and my team leader let me borrow the first book because I didn't bring any books of my own. Absolutely captivated by the story, in my own bubble of escape while at war. While getting through the books that were available at the time, I got on Amazon and ordered the first book for my mom back home. She then ended up letting my best friend borrow each book as she finished them! That best friend ended up naming his eventual daughter (first and only so far!) Arya! All because a sergeant let a private borrow a book on the other side of the world 😊

Well, let's just say that I was hooked and fell in love with Martin's writing immediately. I texted my bf at the time, telling him that I just found this fantastic novel we need to find and buy STAT, and we did & both loved it. For those who've read George, I also recommend his early works too, like Dreamsongs short story collections (some stuff from the '70s, I believe!)

Fantastic video, Mike. I appreciate you taking the time to explain that this series isn’t just solely nihilistic and heartless. Every few months I see somebody post that take on social media, saying it kept them from enjoying or even finishing the books, and I genuinely think they must have just watched the show. I have no idea how someone could read this series and completely miss just how much heart and hope and optimism exists in some of these characters and the overall story as a whole. The books can be cynical at times, and sometimes very gritty, but the term “nihilistic” is honestly just soooo far off the mark. And I am very much down for a spoiler talk/review. This is by far my favorite book series, so I’ll take all the ASOIAF content I can get 😆

Special book and special series. In 2002 I remember getting that trade paperback. I was 13, just finished Potter series (up to where it was) and wanted to really read something great. I can still remember the smell of the pages and feel of my bed when I read that first Bran POV. I don’t even know why or what it was about that beheading scene and the character of Ned and Jon and Theon in that first scene - but I felt great. I felt like I’d found my own special series. About 2 months ago I started a new re read and I’m up to Feast and it’s still incredibly special. As for Game of Thrones, I think that is pound for pound; scene for scene perhaps the most incredible book I’ve still ever read. Almost every chapter and scene pops off the page. Thanks for doing this review series. This was my number 1 series from 13-23 or so. I think only recently has First Law topped it in my head and my personal rankings/

Nothing Beats this book and the 3rd one in fantasy for me. I've read most of the well renowned series and honestly none of them affected me nearly as much as asoiaf. I think FFC and a dance w dragons were fantastic as well and only really get hate due to how good the third book was. It's a shame we will probably never see a completed version of this series.
