help George R.R. Martin FAQ
What order should A Song of Ice and Fire be read in?
Begin with A Game of Thrones, then read A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons. The planned remaining main novels are The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring.
How far did Game of Thrones adapt George R.R. Martin's books?
The HBO series used the five published main novels before moving beyond them with unpublished story material and its own choices. Its final seasons therefore should not be treated as a page-for-page preview of Martin's intended ending.
Are Fire and Blood and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms prequels?
Yes, but they cover different periods and use different forms. Fire and Blood presents a history of House Targaryen, while A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms collects three adventures of Dunk and Egg set about a century before A Game of Thrones.
Why do A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons overlap?
Martin divided one very large stretch of the story mainly by characters and locations rather than by chronology. As a result, events in the two books overlap before A Dance with Dragons advances beyond the earlier volume.
