Blogpost 15: A Game of Thrones

I have started reading A Song of Ice and Fire series, starting with the first book. This book is so good it had me hooked the first page in. The prologue starts off with a heavy medieval fantasy feel, what with the strange creatures simply called, The Others. But after the prologue, it doesn't mention The Others again. It leaves this since of mystery that something is coming. After the prologue, you get to see all the political issues and family problems of the House of Stark. There are so many percpectives in this book, so many characters are introduced. There is so much political backstory that explaining each character would be the entire blogpost. But the ones that I am most interest are the Starks. In the Stark family there is Bran, the seven year old kid who enjoys climbing, Arrya, seven or eight, I forgot, she isn't really much of a girl much less a princess. She is very tomboy and since this is a very medieval time period, this is not socially acceptable, there's  Sarca who is eleven, she on the other hand is very girly and isn't much of a Stark, there's Robb who is fourteen and is the heir to his father, there is Lady Catelyn Stark who is the wife of Lord Eddard Stark who is the Lord of Winterfell and all of the North or "Ned" Stark as people close to him call him . Then there is Jon Snow, the bastard child of Ned Stark and is my favorite character of all the Starks because he is the one I feel the most sympathetic to. He is a victim of his own birth and is hated by Lady Stark, the only mother like figure in his life. She even tells him, " I wish you were dead".
