I’m going to introduce you a book named A Song of Ice and Fire.It is a series of epic fantasy novels written by American novelist and screenwriter George R.R.Martin.Martin began the first volume of the series, A Game of Thrones, in 1991.He published it in 1996.Martin gradually extended his originally intended trilogy to seven volumes, the fifth of which, A Dance with Dragons, took him five years to write before its publication in 2011.Martin's work on his sixth, The Winds of Winter, is still underway.The story of A Song of Ice and Fire takes place on the fictional continents Westeros and Eos, with a history of thousands of years.The point of view of each chapter in the story is a limited perspective of an aortment of characters that grows from nine, in the first, to thirty-one by the fifth of the novels.Three predominant stories interweave: a dynastic war among several families for control of Westeros;the rising threat of the dormant cold supernatural Others dwelling beyond an immense wall of ice on Westeros' northern border;and the ambition of Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled daughter of a king murdered in a civil war shortly before her birth, to return to Westeros with her fire-breathing dragons and claim her rightful throne.Martin defied the conventions of the high fantasy genre by drawing upon such historical events as the Wars of the Roses.A Song of Ice and Fire received favorable critique for its diverse portrayal of women and religion, and praise for favoring realism over magic in its battles and political intrigue.While the first novel contains nearly no magic at all, the prominence of magic grows within and beyond each novel to the next.The aortment of disparate, subjective, and not always accurate points of view confronts the reader with a variety of perspectives on each of the other characters from one chapter to the next.The reader may not safely presume that a favorite prominent character will prevail, or even survive.When I just started reading the novels,I thought the members of Stark Family are the main characters.However,it turned out that I was wrong.Many of them have been dead by the fifth volume.It is exactly where the book attracts me.I think A Song of Ice and Fire is a good series of novels to share with you.That’sall, thank you.
