Synopsis

HBO's GAME OF THRONES is one of the most remarkable success stories of recent television. Critically acclaimed, a ratings smash and going from strength to strength, the series will define fantasy for years to come.

This second official companion book, following the hugely successful INSIDE HBO'S GAME OF THRONES, gives fans new ways to enter the world of Westeros and discover more about the beloved (and reviled) characters and the electrifying plotlines. Hundreds of set photos, production and costume designs, storyboards and insider stories reveal how the show's creators translate George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy series for the screen.

Featuring interviews with key actors and crew members that capture the best scripted and unscripted moments from seasons three and four, this special volume offers behind-the-scenes access to this ground-breaking and hugely successful series.

About this title

Review:

The result is a lovingly-produced companion to a much admired landmark TV series that skilfully blends the cold facts of its production with the emotionally=charged fictional lives (and deaths) that have kept viewers enthralled for the past few years. (Starburst Magazine)

Fans will lap up all the extraordinary insights, lush photo and revealing access to the stars (Heat)

Seriously though, Winter is Coming... this keepsake brings the vivid, rich world of George R. R. Martin's fantasy alive with character profiles, on-set photography, maps, family trees and Q&As with the cast and crew. The full-color book includes a forward by George R. R. Martin himself, along with some welcoming words from series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. It also includes sections about practical jokes on the cast and a study of the Dothraki language (IGN)

A full guide to the last two series of the blood-curdling, breast-and-buttock-flashing fantasy show (Bella)

Inside HBO's Game of Thrones: Seasons 3 & 4 is an essential companion to the show that will enhance the Game of Thrones fan experience (Upcoming 4 Me)

If you're a fan of the show, the books or both, there's something for everyone (Sci-Fi Now)

Inside HBO's Game of Thrones II: Seasons 3 & 4 is a well presented book, filled with a tremendous amount of information crammed into its 192 pages. This has real weight behind it and it never feels like a light-weight puff piece. It's recomnded reading for Game of Thrones fans (Movies in Focus)

Beautifully produced and generous with titbits from insiders, this companion satisfyingly feeds the ongoing fascination with George R. R. Martin's best-selling fantasy world. A perfect book to hunker down with until The Winds of Winter lands. (Fizz and Tattle)

Overall this is an impressive behind-the-scenes book which is organised and written in a very accessible way. I had originally intended to dip in at random and found myself reading it from cover to cover. If you are a fan of the show this book is well worth picking up (Geek Planet Online)
