Overall, another great book depicting the art of A Song of Ice and Fire. I didn’t find some of the organization to be laid out the best. But still some fantastic pieces. I think that the work done by Michael Komarck were my favourite from this volume.

Nice artworks. I like that each of the artists imagine the same characters or scenes sometimes very differently. It's valuable to see this diversity. Nice artworks. I like that each of the artists imagine the same characters or scenes sometimes very differently. It's valuable to see this diversity.

Resulta cuanto menos interesante ver cómo diversos artistas imaginaron a los personajes de George R. R. Martin previo a la adaptación televisiva de HBO. Algunas ilustraciones son impresionantes en su detalle y colores, otras tienen un aire más bien genérico y feucho. Si acaso el tomo cojea de una maquetación/distribución que no hace grandes favores, amontonando tres o cuatro ilustraciones en una sola página y todo en diversos tamaños y resoluciones.

It should also be clarified that the aesthetics of the characters in these illustrations is closer to the description of the books, not the series, a detail that I quite liked.

Interesante si te gusta el mundo de la ilustración y además, la saga de Canción de Hielo y Fuego. Como es normal en estas recopilaciones, hay dibujos que te gustan más que otros, pero sirve para ver más ilustraciones de otros ya conocidos como Giancola, o conocer otros como Michael Komarck o Tomasz Jedruszek que he conocido gracias a sus trabajos para esta saga.

A beautiful collection of art work from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. There is a collection of art for each Great House and the Night's Watch, Wildlings and Clansmen, combined with selected quotes from the series. I would have preferred it if the book also contained interpretations of characters from the past. A beautiful collection of art work from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Most of the artwork in this volume I could take or leave, but there were illustrations by Michael Komarck that were truly iconic images from George Martin's series. Though I wouldn't be tempted to buy either volume, if you've read the series, they are worth checking out at the library.

Both Vol 1 & 2 are excellent. Cover AFFC, backwards. Amazing artwork covering all players and places. Hopefully more to come.
