    George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series is immensely successful and popular.Using different character perspectives to give view to issues occurring over an intricate fantasy world, he spins a web of several characters lives in a way only J.K.

    Game of Thrones is a fantasy medieval television series based on the book A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin.
