Description



Book Synopsis



Perfect for fans of HBO's Game of Thrones--a boxed set featuring the first five novels!

An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin--dubbed "the American Tolkien" by Time magazine--international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now here is the entire monumental cycle:

A GAME OF THRONES
A CLASH OF KINGS
A STORM OF SWORDS
A FEAST FOR CROWS
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS

"One of the best series in the history of fantasy."--Los Angeles Times

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse--unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister--the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.

Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki--whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

"Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers."--The New York Times



Review Quotes



Praise for George R. R. Martin and A Song of Ice and Fire

"The only fantasy series I'd put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings . . . It's a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don't read fantasy."--Chicago Tribune

"Martin amply fulfills the first volume's promise and continues what seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever written."--The Denver Post, on A Clash of Kings

"Martin has produced--is producing, since the series isn't over--the great fantasy epic of our era. It's an epic for a more profane, more jaded, more ambivalent age than the one Tolkien lived in."--Lev Grossman, Time

"Addictive . . . George R. R. Martin has created the unlikely genre of the realpolitik fantasy novel."--Rolling Stone, on A Feast for Crows

"Epic fantasy as it should be written: passionate, compelling, convincingly detailed and thoroughly imagined."--The Washington Post, on A Dance with Dragons

"I always expect the best from George R. R. Martin, and he always delivers."--Robert Jordan

Almost perfect

Ant - 25 days ago, Verified purchaser
The books covers look really nice. The text isn't too small and the paper isn't too thin, which I was a little worried about. Only problem is the case is tearing a little in all 4 corners and the first book A Game of Thrones has a rip in the back cover.

The books I received were exactly as shown in the photo. I haven’t read them but the quality of the physical books is good. They have a shine to the cover not matte like other paperbacks. I think if you read these each a few times with proper care I believe they would maintain a decent condition. And of course, this price cannot be beat!

Mass Market Paperback...

3 out of 5 stars
Melissa - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
Got the product and it’s in good condition the only issue is that it is NOT the paperback I thought it would be... this set is of the mass market GOT books, not regular paperback. The only difference is the mass market is smaller book sizes. I’m was initially annoyed but I can deal with it since I have pretty small hands and can handle the more compressed text. I’m just bothered that no where does it say that this set is the mass market box set... also this mass market set is actually pricier than compared to the other mass market sets available... the only reason I will be giving this product 3 stars is because the shipping was quick and the product came undamaged. Also because while not the GoT bookset I thought it was.... I did get a GoT bookset

I loved the show so decided to read the books... they’re so much more detailed and if you’re a GOT fan you’ll really enjoy the books. The chapters are relatively small and they’re from different characters POV which allows the readers to get inside the minds of characters which is something you can’t do with a tv show

This is without doubt one of my most favorite series that I’ve read. Right up there with the lord of the rings. You have to be up for a long, complex reading if you consider buying these. I can’t wait until the winds of winter comes out!

I enjoyed the TV series so much that I wanted to go even deeper. This stay at home order has given me the opportunity to binge read the book series. The books are genuine page turners!

Slightly damaged

3 out of 5 stars
RB12 - 5 years ago, Verified purchaser
My rating is based off of the physical condition of the book and not the contents of the book as I have not yet read it. The book is in slightly rough shape, however, I assume that is due to lack of staff during this time. The spine of the sleeve had a tear. There was a scratch on the front of the sleeve that also went through to the hard cover of the book. Lastly, there were a few pages in the middle of the book that weren’t cut properly and extended past the rest of the page, they were also slightly ripped at the bottom. A little disappointing receiving the book in this condition but I’m still very excited to read.
