A Dance with Dragons: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Five in the highly acclaimed Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin was released earlier this month.
Recently, HBO began airing a new series based on these novels, called Game of Thrones.
If the new series has intrigued you and made you want to read the books, this boxed set is the perfect way to prepare for the newest novel so you can get all caught up with the critically acclaimed fantasy series.
The boxed set of the first four books contains A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, and A Feast for Crows.
The best price for the Game of Thrones novels might very well be this boxed set, which costs less than $20 (at the time of this post). At this price, that’s less than $5 for each book. You can get used copies for less, but new paperbacks cost significantly more. These are long, thick novels.
A Dance with Dragons is George R. R. Martin’s New Game of Thrones Novel
Released July 12, 2011, A Dance With Dragons is the fifth book in the series, where the Seven Kingdoms once again face threats, enemies, conflicts and betrayals.
A 1,040 page hard cover novel, A Dance with Dragons brings back familiar characters while introducing new.
Description of the Book
Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his spellbinding landmark series–as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.
In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance once again–beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has three times three thousand enemies, and many have set out to find her. Yet, as they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.
To the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone–a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge yet. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.
And from all corners, bitter conflicts soon reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all….
I just watched the Sanctuary season finale today, Into the Black. I admit I got behind on the series, but I didn’t feel a lot of motivation to watch quickly. The whole Hollow Earth story line makes me feel tired and bored. I’m losing interest and I’m left wondering where all the excitement went?
I know this because my copy of the Merlin Season 2 DVD just shipped. I’m excited to know Merlin is on its way to my home! I preordered the DVD set a few months ago and I get two day shipping so I expect to have it Tuesday (or Monday if I’m lucky).
