About this product

Product Information

HBO's hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin's internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series has set the benchmark for contemporary epic fantasy. Labelled by Time magazine as one of the top 100 most influential people in the world, Martin has conjured a world as complex and vibrant as that of J.R.R. Tolkien, populated by a huge cast of fascinating, complex characters, and boasting a history that stretches back twelve thousand years. Three great storylines weave through the books, charting the civil war for control of the Seven Kingdoms; the defence of the towering Wall of ice in the uttermost north against the unearthly threat of the Others; and across the Narrow Sea the rise to power of Daenerys Targaryen and the last live dragons in the world. A Song of Ice and Fire is the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones, the most-watched TV series of all time. The box set includes: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS, 1: STEEL AND SNOW A STORM OF SWORDS, 2: BLOOD AND GOLD A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, 1: DREAMS AND DUST A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, 2: AFTER THE FEAST

    Unputdownable sheer enjoyment by a modern day Shakespear, George Martin is the true magician here.

    A true page turner spread so far over seven books, separately these will cost in the region of £70 so this nicely presented boxed set with a nice map of the seven kingdoms is an unmissable bargain. I’ve read the whole seven books in ebook format some years ago but this time I’m enjoying the actual paper book experience. From the start of this saga your are introduced artfully to all the great and not so great characters heroes are made and die along with Kings and Maesters the story is a web of deceit and treachery battling with devotion and love which has many twists and surprises. Third should please anyone with an interest in action, drama, and wonder all threaded along a path of magic, white walkers and Dragons.

  • Heavyweight reading but sticky

    Bought for girlfriend who says that it can be heavy going. The story line refers off to appendices that gives info of different 'Family Houses'. This causes a lot of page flipping which can be interruptive to the flow of the story. However, she appears to be traversing the first book with tenacity - which is a good indicator of it's 'stickyness' :-) She's obviously developing a position on the different characters which is indicative of a good writing style. Not sure how this compares with the Film Series of the same name as neither of us have watched any of them. However she is obviously becoming iimmersed in the characterisations and plots which can only mean the first book is good. Time will tell if she continues with the other 6.

  • The new Lord of the Rings

    My generation grew up with Hobbit and eagerly learned complex timelines and Elvish language. George R R Martin, for me is the new Tolkien and has created dynasties, fiendishly intertwined personalities and gripping drama. There also be dragons. The box set is one to keep, reread and pass along to future generations. The sagas are timeless.

  • Couldn't be happier

    I'm delighted with my purchase. Exactly what I was looking for at such a decent price. I wanted these specific covers but most places I looked for only had used copies. These came brand new with plastic cover still on them and their own own box. The quality is perfect. Delivery was quick. I'm so happy! Couldn't ask for better.

  • Game of Thrones

    This box set was bought as a gift for my nephew. He and his girlfriend are big fans of Game of Thrones. I tried to read the books in the past, but it wasn't to my taste. I found the story line ridiculous. I don't mind fiction or fantasy, but, for me, it has to be believable. When one of the characters begins a sword fight with a ghost, I tuned out.

  • Immersive and addictive

    Great content and story, very easy to read and follow, even for non-native english speakers. Immersive story with many multi-layered characters and personalities to explore, which gives a bigger dimension to the narrative world and the interactions within. I recommend the books for every fantasy lover.

  • Great series

    As an avid game of thrones fan, naturally I felt like getting the ASOIAF books for cheap. Postage was quick and the item arrived in immaculate condition, with a free poster map of Westeros and a part of Essos. The box that contains the book set has kinda teared slightly on the edges however. The box has been made to be maybe a bit too tight so take care when taking out books and putting them back in. Overall excellent service from The Works. Would recommend the box set especially at this price! Currently on book 2 and I thought A Game of Thrones was a compelling read, so the actual content is fantastic as well. If you're a GOT fan, make sure you have this on your bookshelf.
