And if you have the time you should read the Song of Ice and Fire book series. You can take your time with it because its long and unfinished, as the author is taking a jolly good time to write the next installment. Although he has promised it would come out before season 6, next year, the last installment was released in 2011 (?) so I doubt it. Its really good though, and has many more characters than the show (which is shoving others together to make up for this i.e. Ellaria=Arianne and Sansa may =Stoneheart) and is more detailed and riddled with complicated plots and real prophecy, war and betrayal, real magic but in a realistic setting. The universe itself is huge and diverse. I recommend the World of Ice and Fire to read with it. It shows so much more! From the land of always winter to Asshai-by-the-shadow, it has everything.
"Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you. Remember that, Sansa, when you come to play the game."~Petyr Baelish, A Storm of Swords
"On the seventh day, a cloud of ravens burst from the towers of Dragonstone to bring Lord Aegon’s word to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. To the seven kings they flew, to the Citadel of Oldtown, to lords both great and small. All carried the same message: from this day forth there would be but one king in Westeros. Those who bent the knee to Aegon of House Targaryen would keep their lands and titles. Those who took up arms against him would be thrown down, humbled, and destroyed....On wings as black as pitch, Balerion plunged through the night, and when the great towers of Harrenhal appeared beneath him, the dragon roared his fury and bathed them in black fire, shot through with swirls of red.
Stone does not burn, Harren had boasted, but his castle was not made of stone alone. Wood and wool, hemp and straw, bread and salted beef and grain, all took fire. Nor were Harren’s ironmen made of stone. Smoking, screaming, shrouded in flames, they ran across the yards and tumbled from the wallwalks to die upon the ground below. And even stone will crack and melt if a fire is hot enough. The riverlords outside the castle walls said later that the towers of Harrenhal glowed red against the night, like five great candles … and like candles, they began to twist and melt, as runnels of molten stone ran down their sides."~The World of Ice and Fire, Aegon's Conquest
