Martin does a huge breakthrough with this greatly written, immediately engrossing, and incredibly intricate tale that keeps you hooked all the way through. Martin steps out on a limb as he writes a fantasy novel whose "good" characters are not invincible and sometimes bad things can and do happen. Most fantasy I've read involves the main characters in impossible situations that resolve themselves by dumb luck or the characters own super-human abilities. Martin goes above and beyond and writes a story that allows for inexperience in a characters fighting ability, both on the battle field and in the political arena. The protagonist does not always make the right decisions, and the good guy doesn't always win. The lines between good & evil are blurred as Martin uses his really impressive command of characters to present situations from different points of view. "Good" isn't always good, and "Evil" isn't always evil. Characters are given diverse personalities and therefore open up the possibility of role-reversal. It's like these are real people making real decisions, and as in life, anything is possible. If your looking for a story that follows a one-dimensional track and is easily predictable, this is not the story for you.. On the other hand, if you want a mature story that is filled with intricate characters and engrossing story lines that leave you guessing and begging for more, you've come to the right place. Hats off to this incredible author and the story that he has created. Have a lovely day, Fane <a href="http://tiny.cc/WoWgoLd" title="fane fannes.wow@gold.me" rel="nofollow"> George R.R.

Episode one ended with the apparent murder of a child because he saw too much. The child survived, albeit crippled. Most of the characters on the show are assholes who joy in tormenting anyone who isn't an asshole. The lone heroic individual who we were led to believe was the show's main character, was butchered in episode 9! The darkest Marvel & DC comic doesn't come close to what this series perpetrates. It ain't entertainment. I thought the Game of Thrones TV series was the most dark, downbeat, depressing thing I’ve ever seen.

Ran into the same problem with Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time comic adaption.
