I discovered the works of George RR Martin by chance, obviously during one of my trips to the bookshop. I was in the fantasy sector and I find a beautiful cover. The offending novel was Game of Thrones . I don't know why but that title attracted me. So, without thinking too much about it, I bought it. At home I read a few passages, as I always do when I buy a book. And I liked the style. I didn't read it right away, I usually leave the books I buy to vegetate for a while. Some time later I saw another novel by the author, The Great Winter, in the bookstore . And I'll take it. Initially I was confused by the original title, A Game of Thrones , which was identical for the two novels.
Since then the odyssey of A Song of Ice and Fire began , with Mondadori enjoying breaking Martin's novels into two or more parts. And to read an entire story I was waiting for the Italian edition to complete the original one. I really enjoyed Martin's writing. It is full of details, which demonstrate how carefully and documented he writes his novels. And how Special Data slowly, too, given that after five years he still hasn't finished the last one. His fantasy is different from the others I've read. In my opinion, in fact, it's better. Because magic, fantastic creatures and everything that makes a novel fall into the fantasy genre are not presented to the reader from the first page, as if it were a normal thing. No, you get there slowly, slowly, without rushing. And magic, fantastic creatures and everything that makes a novel fall into the fantasy genre are spoken almost in a whisper.
Not exactly whispering, but exactly, in my opinion, how one should talk about these things in today's reality, for someone to believe it. This is a great feature that I noticed in George RR Martin: he represents medieval choreography in all its dramatic and kaleidoscopic details, making it so alive and credible that the reader is led to believe that dragons exist after all, that someone can change their face truly, that beyond the Wall live creatures that are better not to be encountered. In George RR Martin's novels the transition from the Middle Ages to fantasy is almost invisible. Court intrigues, betrayals, internal wars and desires for the throne are ultimately things that "we have already experienced" in past centuries.
