Review of 'A Game of Thrones' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
I really wish I read this book before watching Game of Thrones. Remembering the events of the first season meant having to fight my feelings of dread and force myself to keep reading every time I came across an 'Eddard' chapter. I have to applaud GoT creators for staying so close to the book, though reading it added a lot of depth to many characters and relationships and made me re-evaluate my opinion of them.
Overall, a worthwhile read and very hard to put down. Will be continuing on with the series shortly!
