Os Ventos do Inverno será o sexto livro da série de fantasia épica As Crônicas de Gelo e Fogo, escrita pelo norte-americano George R. R. Martin e publicada pela editora Bantam Spectra. Seu enredo se passa após os dois livros paralelos da saga, O Festim dos Corvos e A Dança dos Dragões. O intervalo de publicação entre o quarto e o quinto volumes da saga foi de seis anos, o que gerou críticas por parte de fãs; o autor disse esperar que Os Ventos do Inverno esteja pronto dentro de, pelo menos, três anos após o lançamento do livro anterior. Em junho de 2010, Martin terminara quatro capítulos do tomo — sob o ponto de vista de Sansa Stark, Arianne Martell e Arya Stark. Um mês depois, o autor anunciou ter escrito cerca de 100 páginas do romance. Em dezembro de 2011, Martin liberou um capítulo da obra para leitura online, sob a perspectiva de Theon Greyjoy.

George 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.

High-level story seems fine. In most cases, it seems logical. Far too graphic. Descriptions of brutal killings and rapes carry more detail than is warranted. It seems as if Martin wanted a murder or rape every three pages. Shows women in a poor light - seems women had no status except as objects. Story jumps from character to character making it hard to follow unless one draws a family tree spanning several sheets. I have heard of rich storylines but this is going too far. Overall, seems to be a cheap porn book.

Boooooo! This is the end of volume 1. I'm so glad I'm reading these, It's Game of Thrones... but with beautiful art, how could I not love it right? And yes, I'm really loving this. It has the right amount of information, doesn't drag and is full of action. I am especially digging the transition to different scenes and the art is just phenomenal.

Bring on the next volume!

I have to admit I found this series over long. there were times I thought, Get on with it! But with so many characters to follow, I can't see any other way to get in all the info of what happened to who. And Martin does create characters wh hold your interest whether you find them likable or not.

Grade: A

“When I have Proof, I will take it to Robert” -Ned

From Ch. 19-20, 23 of the literary pages, high-level story to put the important rich Worldbuilding on the graphic color pages focus on three protagonist’s POV to start a new chapter of life role. Surround a Many Characters That must prepare to learn and must do on different role in medieval time.

The Cover of Daenerys’s dream of her with atmosphere surround the fire and the dragon remain her house’s family: Fire And Blood. It is actually quite good and at least cover the nude.

After sword training with new recruits under by Ser Allister Thorne, Dan Noye tells Jon Snow that he is bully to recruit because he act better than them, but must amend with new recruits. He feels sad about his uncle Benjen leaves and Bran is in coma. When Jon gets a message about Bran is awake, he feels overjoy and will help a new recruits.
-Jon Snow remain the new recruits of the Night’s Watch that he must wait to earn and learn the important lesson of being the Black.

After arriving the King’s Landing, Ned attend a meeting of the Small council discussing about a celebrating the tournament with the budget of insane amount of gold to spend. Then In Brothel, Catelyn tells Ned for the dagger as the prove of the Lannister’s involvement, we’ll not enough, but Littlefinger promised to help them to find the real truth to tell King Robert.
-Ned Stark is now the New Hand of the King. His act remain concerned like the gold are necessary spending while King Robert is a little irresponsible and less leadership. Ned’s leadership is to solve the Lannister’s crime involvement for Justice.

They riding through the Dothraki Sea grass, Daenerys felt peace to her life as Khalessi except her brother. In the Tent, Daenerys Tells her maidens had a dream of her with dragon, but maidens tells her a different tales, and one of the them realizes that she is pregnant.
-Daenerys Targaryen is now Khalessi of the Dothraki meaning she is a Royal role and in love with Khal Drogo Which makes her happiness.

The new chapter of Life of the Black isn’t easy than what Jon thought. Ned doesn’t want to be the role to serve the King’s Landing, But he must become the Hand to solve the crime for Justice. Daenerys never expect to be happy with her new people, Her Royal, and her lover.

Looking at the comic version of a new location is quite much like the original novel and different from the HBO shows. Castle Black, King’s Landing, And Dothraki Sea is quite remarkable. I praised the focus of storyline of Jon Snow become the Black, Ned Stark become the Hand, and Daenerys Targaryen become Khalessi. Characters appearance including members of Small Council. Ser Allister Thorne, Jeor Mormont, And Ser Jorah Mormont is exactly like in the Book To See From Martin’s Vision. The Flashback is excellent. Although seem to be flaws and criticism, but brilliant to see the length of a storyline.

This is review is for the entire series.

Yes, despite all the flaws mentioned by the reviewers, which are probably true, the book is a five star read. It's brilliantly written and compels you to keep reading. So what if the books end abruptly and you have to buy the next one. You get plenty of bang for your buck. And yes, there were some predictable moments but there were plenty of surprises too. The writing is fresh and compelling and the characters are interesting and memorable. I'm not sure what readers are looking for exactly when they crack open a book but they need to lighten up. For a nominal fee, you will get hours of entertainment. Buy it. You won't be sorry. Makes a good gift too, as most people like it.

As I said for the previous 2 books, It's progressing much faster then the first 2 books and I like that. You all know how I feel about the poorly designed characters so no need to get into that any more then we need to.

Overall, The comics have went from terrible to alright over the course of the 6 comics but I still think there is improvement to be done. I'd like to see the characters re-designed and for the books to be longer as well. Other then that, It's an ok comic.

Intrigue in King's Landing as the Starks prepare to find proof that the Lannisters have killed Jon Arryn and tried to kill Brandon Stark. The small council convenes, and we find out that the Iron Throne is 6 million stags in debt. Across the Narrow Sea, Viserys is shamed by his sister, as she starts taking her rightful place in the Khalasar.

Me encantan estas revistas! me gustan los dibujos, la historia es obviamente como el libro, nada de libres interpretaciones como en la serie... aunque nunca fui coleccionista de comic ni lei ninguno, esta saga me gusta mucho.

Awkward sex scene is awkward.

Other than that, this remains just alright. It's not my favorite version of the story by far, but I always remember it can be worse. It can always be way worse than what it is.

I love the books and the TV show, but maybe this was overkill. I couldn't get into the characters in this one and was too bored to bother finishing it.
