    Folio Society, PLEASE have this talented artist do the whole series, there's nothing worse than a lack of continuity in artistic style across a series... this looks phenomenal, would be even more so if he does every book in ASOIAF! 🎼❄️🔥

    I received mine yesterday. Absolutely exquisite. The artwork, the binding, the foil covers and even the inside of the slip cover has artwork. Very impressed. And the map of "The Known World", so incredible! I plan to frame that eventually. I know there's people on the fence about getting these due to belief that the series won't be finished, and believe me, I'm right there with all of you. But this series is one I consistently return to every year, sometimes every three or six months. I love the series that much. Very satisfied with my purchase and you bet that I will purchase the other books, Clash, Storm, and Feast.

    That Daenerys picture is so haunting and terrifying, I never see her like that bc she seems to be the most compassionate and genuine person in this very dark twisted story. So too see her look like this its both awesome and intriguing.

    Folio Society, Is it likely that you would be doing The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring as well? Or because the final book could be released 10 years from now is that not likely?

    So you would have to have lived under a rock to have not heard of game of thrones. I myself have only ever seen the HBO series and i was just about to watch the series again when i decided no I'm gonna read the books instead and i was about go purchase the first book when I came across this video and myself loves to draw and create characters would love this but i wanted to ask first do they have this illustrated book as a counterpart for each book meaning book 1 had a illustrated counterpart book 2 has its illustrated counter part etc. you get the picture lol i am asking because i jsut wanted to make sure i wasnt buying a Game of thrones picture book that has these short little page or two page stories about the picture that was shown. I want to be able to read the entire story of game of thrones as well as enjoy the art if possible

    I'm from a below middle class living in India. My parents won't want to buy these books for me as they were more than we can afford 😭😭.. Will you please 🥺 send me those copies. I'll be forever grateful for you... I'm a huge fan of Game Of Thrones, missed a lot of stuff in my childhood because of our financial status
