As the “Game of Thrones” TV show starts its final season, we reminisce about the epic fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin that started it all - and how it feels to watch a show that has now overtaken the books. We also talk about our love for epic fantasies as a whole, from David Eddings to Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower”.
