Karaļa ostā, Dzelzs salās, Dornē un pie Mūra ar nerimstošu sparu rit troņu spēles, un visur ar kritušo līķiem mielojas vārnas. Sazvērestības, iekāre, baudas un viltus uzbango arvien varenāk. Karaļi un karalienes, bruņinieki un nodevēji, meļi, godavīri un kropļi - visi joprojām spēlē troņu spēles un piedalās vārnu dzīrēs.

About the author
George R.R. Martin
1,510 books119k followersGeorge Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin was born September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and his mother was Margaret Brady Martin. He has two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten.
Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.
In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.
As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.
In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.
Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.
Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.

Pietrūka asumiņa un baigi neievilka jaunie tēli stāstā.

Diezgan dabīga sajūta, ka stāstam atejot no jau 3 grāmatu garumā iemīļotiem tēliem, tas šķiet atsvešinājies. Protams Mārtina rakstīšanas stils un kvalitāte nekur nav pazudusi un arī šī "pusgrāmata" ir lieliska. Lai gan nevar noliegt ka Grejdžoju un citu dzelzsvīru cīņa par savu kroni diezko neuzrunāja uz kopējā stāsta fona. Bet toties rada lielisku ieskatu visas karaļvalsts dzīvē un padara stāstu telpiskāku.
Par nodaļu nosaukumiem - tā mānīgi pasniegts, bet man patika.

nesaprotu, kāpēc vajadzēja pārdalīt grāmatu uz pusēm. Pārskatu par grāmatu rakstīšu, kad būšu izlasījis arī otru daļu.

Uz grāmatas beigām jau nedaudz pieradu pie neparastajiem nodaļu nosaukumiem, bet tik un tā nepatīk.

Sāga turpinās - tiešām sērijā, kur notikumi ir secīgi un grāmtas beidzas bez kāda noteikta atrisninājuma - ko teikt pat atsevišku grāmatu nudien nav iespējams.
