A Song of Ice and Fire, Where to Look at A Song of Ice and Fire

"Game of Thrones" (Game of Thrones), which is generally translated as "Game of Thrones" in China, is a medieval epic fantasy TV series produced and launched by HBO Television Network in the United States.

The play was broadcast on April 17, 2011, and the domestic **platform was exclusively introduced by Tencent**, and in January 2022, the authorization of the show expired, and Tencent** removed all the episodes, so this drama is now not visible in China.

Synopsis: The story begins with the discovery of a creature that has long been extinct in ancient legends at the border of Westeros, heralding the impending danger. The family of Eddard Stark (Sean Bean), Lord of Winterfell and Lord of the North, also welcomes a visit from his old friend and King Robert Baratheon (Mark Artie).

The King wants Eddard Stark to take on the role of Prime Minister against the rebels who are trying to seize the Iron Throne. The danger is imminent, but beneath the seemingly peaceful surface of the entire kingdom lies a wave of turbulence.

The powerful House of Baratheon, the brave and kind House Stark, the House of Targaryen who seek the throne, and the House Lannisters who have secret secrets. These families had their own agendas, and the unexpected death of the king immediately plunged the country into endless war.

The American drama A Song of Ice and Fire depicts a series of court battles, battles, adventures and magical battles in a fictional medieval world.

At least two more books remain unfinished, volumes six and seven.

However, it is not possible to determine the exact number at this time. No one knows, and the author himself does not know. The reason for this is that Martin began to change his tone a few years ago, before saying that "there may be an eighth volume" (in fact, it feels like he can't finish writing seven volumes), and then he said that he was not sure how many volumes, and added "I'm not sure......Until I decided not to finish it" - that is, Uncle Martin had already begun to think about not finishing "A Song of Ice and Fire", or even not finishing it.

In fact, given Uncle Martin's age and the speed at which he writes, as well as the sheer amount of his other workload, the possibility of him dying before he finishes A Song of Ice and Fire is already very high. I wish the pit god a long life.

Martin had planned to write a trilogy of books like his idol John Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings, titled Game of Thrones, A Dance with Dragons, and The Winds of Winter. But when Martin had not been able to complete the first book story after 1,400 pages of manuscript, he felt that the series needed four or even six books (which at the time was conceived as two connected trilogies to form a long story).

The first volume of the series, A Game of Thrones, was a 1,088-page manuscript (not counting appendices) and was published in the United States in August '96. Robert Jordan, the author of The Wheel of Time (note that Jordan died before he finished his work) wrote a short eulogy for the cover, laying the groundwork for an early fantasy readership. As a pre-sale promotion, a sample novella coincidentally called Blood of the Dragon was also published and won the Hugo Award for Best Novella in '97.

Expansion: A Song of Ice and Fire is a serious fantasy series written by American author George R.R. Martin. The first volume of the series was published in the United States by Bantam Books in early 1996, and the book was planned to consist of seven volumes, of which five volumes had been completed by 2014 and had been translated into more than 30 languages.

A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of court battles, battles, adventures, and magical battles that take place in a fictional medieval world. In terms of content and style, "A Song of Ice and Fire" is a mirror of real life and a true portrayal of human nature. In terms of writing technique, Martin uses POV (Point-of-View, i.e., "point-of-view character writing technique") to describe the narrative in turns, and the third-person point of view of the characters is alternately described, so as to promote the progress of the story.

But in terms of "magic" color, George R.R. Martin once again followed the practice of his idol John Ronald Riel Tolkien, and never easily used magic in **, making it just an element needed to enhance the atmosphere, and never used it on people themselves. Almost none of the main characters in A Song of Ice and Fire are magical, and they are just like us in real life. No one can be brought back to life with the help of magic, and Martin completely obeys the laws of human life in reality.

Therefore, some people think that "A Song of Ice and Fire" is not so much an extremely "low-magic" fantasy** as it is more like a parallel history of a fictional world**.
