George R.R Martin, Breaking the Trends of Fantasy Writing

George R.R. Martin’s series of books have reached critical acclaim and have sold millions of copies. The books have spawned a multi-awarded television series and a slew of games. The first book in the Song of Ice and Fire is The Game of Thrones Audiobook. Five books have already been published while the next two, A Dream of Spring and The Winds of Winter, are still being written. The first book in the series garnered awards when it was released in 1997.

The series of books take place in the continents of Essos and Westeros. The plot does not revolve around one character but a plethora of different perspectives. The books have different points of view from the books’ noble families. There are three dominant perspectives which are the dynastic wars of the families who want to rule Westeros, the threat of the supernatural Others in the borders of Westeros, and the battle for the throne waged by Daenerys Targaryen.

The books have bent the genre of high fantasy because of the way it was written. Despite being set in a magical kingdom, the books use a lot of realism. The books also have varying points of view which show the human condition’s moral ambiguity. The characters’ actions are unpredictable and show two sides of the condition of the human soul or lack of it.
