The books are like a game of chess (or rather Cyvasse), the end is clear, all that remains to be done is putting the pieces where they need to be. ... It was totally worth it.

IMO the books are far better than the show. Don't want to get hate now, but for me the show started going downhill fast after season 5. That's when the show started going in a different direction and run out of material from the books. GRRM is an amazing author, the level of details and storytelling is like nothing else.

That being said you will probably get a better understanding by reading the books first(or along with watching the series), because the series seems to condense and cut to make the books fit on screen.

The answer: YES. Martin creates a very detailed and rich world in A Game of Thrones with very deep characters. And thankfully, the show follows suit. Now keep in mind, I didn't read the book first before the TV show. In fact, I watched the TV show first before I actually took the time to pick up the book.

It even has splashes of historical narrative (it was based on the War of the Roses), which is kind of your taste. If you don't mind that the book series aren't finished, it is worth trying. I also recommend reading book 4 and book 5 as one sole volume, there should be a guide somewhere. Reply reply.

A Game of Thrones (1996) The first book was actually called A Game of Thrones, while the series itself is called The Song of Ice and Fire, a fitting title for those who have read the books or saw the series. Book one is all about the political intrigue, setting up the game of chess so to speak that kicks of everything to follow in the series.

Reply. Sungerson. • 11 yr. ago. I definitely think it is worth a read at least once. It subverts many tropes and cliches of the fantasy genre; often making you feel like that any of the characters that you come to love and hate could be killed at any time.
