Game of Thrones is the adaptation of a captivating and sprawling epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, written by American author George R. R. Martin. The series is celebrated due to its intricate plotlines, the moral ambiguity of its characters, and its vivid world-building.
Game of Thrones initially stuck close to the first few books, but then it went off the rail, as the books could not get finished. The series did become global, as it was not just local people who were thrilled with the depth of the plot and the characters but other people all over the world who loved it as well.
By 2019, all seven seasons of Game of Thrones had been aired, but there was still no sign of George R. R. Martin wrapping up the book series. Fans are excitedly waiting for the book "The Winds of Winter" to come out and reveal the real ending.
