Clearly, GRRM focused this first book on developing the Stark family, who would play a huge role in the coming crisis.Īlthough it looks like Eddard is our manly hero, nearly half of the book is told from the perspective of women. In fact, only 25% of the book is told from another family's perspective - and 10 of those chapters are following Daenerys on an entirely separate continent. The majority of the first book is told from the perspective of the Stark family. Can we learn much about the books from such a high-level view? Let's take a look. Since each chapter is named after the character it focuses on, we can get a bird's eye view of each book by counting how many chapters are dedicated to each character. I've been catching up on the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series lately and ran across an Amazon book review that had an interesting take on reviewing the books.
