A masterful book read by a masterful cast. If you're even slightly a SciFi fan, this book is a must. Ignore the movie. It is a travesty. A mongrel bastard of an attempt to convey the true story.

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must...and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty. The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.

At first I was worried that it was going to be a flat an monotone reading but then I realised, it was supposed to be. Different pronunciations for the same words, depending on which character was saying it was a wonderful realisation.
