Game of Thrones Summary

            So far, Game of Thrones is interesting. I like the way George R. R. Martin writes and the way he sets up his chapters. Towards the beginning I was confused as to who was related to who but as the sections of the book go on, everything is becoming much more clear. It seems that Ned and Eddard are the same person; I didn’t know that in the beginning. Ned is married to Catelyn and they have Robb, Rickon, Sansa, and Arya as children. Jon is the bastard son that Catelyn is not fond of. Ned is going to work for the King, Robert, and is leaving behind Catelyn, Rickon and Robb. I think its interesting the way the author mentions things and knows that the reader doesn’t know what he is referring to at the moment. Shortly after, of course, everything is made clear. Bran seems to be a pretty important character I get the feeling. Although we are not very far in the book at all, there is already many different stories and situations going on. Definitely the most important being that Lysa, Catelyn’s sister, wrote a letter telling Catelyn that her husband was murdered by the queen. This forced Ned to serve as the kings second man. Jon is also an interesting character. I’m not exactly sure what the Night’s Watch is but it seems very intense. Jon wants to join the Night’s Watch which seems to resolve the problem whether he should stay with Catelyn or go with Ned.

I’m a bit confused with how Daenerys fits into the story and who she is related to. I’m also confused as to what the Wall is and why the North and South are so segregated. The book also seems to mention the existence of the Others but never elaborates on who they are or where they live. Overall, Game of Thrones is super interesting and keeps you wanting to read.
