Game of Thrones

The first book in series of " song of ice and fire" by George R. R. Martin. And its not the first book i have after the book went to screen. Game of Thrones was turned into a TV show by HBO. And like most, the print edition is better than the screen one.

The fantasy novel is nothing like Harry Potter series as i have expected when started it. Though its a fantasy one with magical creatures with medieval background, its not for kids. It depicts a story line where anger of a mother, pride ,deception, loyalty and carelessness of a king lead to war.  How alliances are formed before war and how power politics works is too intriguing. Life of a bastard and how world treats a dwarf man are two topics i liked in it after politics.

Just many who read the book or watched the tv show, i become fan of Tyrion Lannister who is a dwarf with good survival instincts and understanding of human nature.  A good book, planning to read the second one in that series.
