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.

Je l’ai lu en lecture commune, la vibe était donc incroyable!
Et le livre en lui même est vraiment fou, le fait d’avoir plusieurs point de vue permet de ne pas s’ennuyer et ils sont tous intéressant (sauf Bran mais bref)
J’ai vraiment adorer cette lecture et j’ai hâte de lire la suite

Totalement conquis par tout l'univers, la construction de ce roman, la complexité et la profondeur des personnages. C'était fou !

Pourquoi mettre une note en-dessous de cinq étoiles alors qu'il s'agit littéralement de Game of thrones ?

J’ai adoré lire le premier tome de cette saga qui attendait dans ma bibliothèque depuis bien trop longtemps !

J’ai adoré certains personnages et si j’en ai détesté d’autre comme Catelyn, notamment son comportement et son acharnement envers Jon bien qu’il soit justifié de son point de vue, j’ai tout de même adoré ma lecture !

La perte d une étoile est dû à des moments que j’ai trouvé malaisant comme la nuit de noce de Daenerys et Drogo. Si j’ai compris l’intention derrière je ne saurais pas dire quoi mais le passage m’a mise mal à l’aise !

Les modifications par rapport à la série ne sont pas dérangeantes elles sont même merveilleuses que ce soit dans le caractère des personnages ou certains éléments superficiels ! J’ai par exemple adoré plonger dans le point de vue de Bran, Sansa ou encore celui d’Eddard ! Notamment les passages de Sansa avec les gâteaux au citron !

J’ai hâte de continuer à lire la suite de cette saga et de voir les prochaines différences avec la série !

This book got me addicted i could not go to class without it to be in my bag. I love to hate the characters because they all have their own story and i love how each chapter is a Character because you see the evolution throughout the story. Recommend it 1000%. Became my favorite book ❤️

Un chef d'oeuvre autour de la lutte de pouvoir dans un royaume sans pitié.
L'auteur détaille avec précision ses personnages, les lieux, les situations, il nous plonge dans cet univers médiéval/fantasy que l'on retrouve dans la série.
La lecture peut parfois être compliquée (le genre de livre que j'évite de lire au coucher) mais elle est très immersive.
