This book is the start of one of my favourite series to date; ASOIAF is the perfect blend of high fantasy and political intrigue, and though the length of the books might appear to make it a large undertaking, every page is worth it. The elaborate plot is heavily driven by the host of diverse characters that Martin makes the reader care about (given his ruthless reputation it's to kill them off later, no doubt, but the reader loves them all the same). Additionally, the rich descriptions, historical accuracy, strong foreshadowing, and careful insertion of details makes the reader live the book, instead of simply reading it.
