About the book
Set in the imaginary lands of Westeros and Essos, George R. R. Martin's high fantasy series takes place in a world where seasons can last for years. Three plots run through it: a war among noble houses for control of Westeros, the exiled heirs of the deposed Targaryen dynasty seeking to reclaim the Iron Throne, and a supernatural threat called the Others gathering beyond the Wall in the far north. The first volume, A Game of Thrones, opens as a long summer nears its end and King Robert Baratheon rides north to Winterfell, home of Eddard Stark. Each chapter is told from one character's limited point of view. Martin planned seven volumes and has released five so far.
Katie Keith, operations director at Barn2 Media, called the series her favorite non-business reading and said its complex world was a welcome escape from sleepless nights with a young child.

My favorite non-business book is the Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. I first got into this fantasy series when my daughter was very young. Escaping into such a complex, multi-faceted world was the perfect antidote to sleepless nights and other frustrations of having a young child!
