A Game of Thrones

Novel, Fantasy, Political Novel by Elio M. García, George R. R. Martin, Linda Antonsson

Blurb

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.
Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

Una obra como pocas se han escrito que realmente logra atrapar y sorprender. Por más extensa que es no solo no cansa en lo absoluto sino que te hace desear más. Siempre saber que va a pasar y hacía donde va a girar en el próximo recodo del camino. Como resumen del libro solo agregaré que la serie de HBO es solo el 10% de la historia del libro. Si no lo has leído... you know nothing!!
