If that's the case, treat them as if they were one book.Īt the end you can find some other reading orders, here are some of my thoughts around them: In some countries some of the books are split into two.

On your first read I would not bother reading the history novellas unless you are very interested in the stories, abridged versions of all of them can be found in The World of Ice & Fire. By all means continue, but I find the first half the most important when it comes to the main story. With 'first half' I mean anything before the section on the seven kingdoms. TWOIAF also contain some Dunk & Egg spoilers, but they are not too big. You can also start before AFFC if you want to (but do not look at anything before the contents list, preface contains a big ASOS spoiler). It has some very nice background story, but you can enjoy the main books without it. With that said, you don't have to read it at all on your first read. * I found reading The World of Ice & Fire on its own a bit too slow, that's why I would suggest reading it alongside the other books. Map Book: The Lands of Ice and Fire - 2012Ĭook book: A Feast of Ice and Fire - 2012Ī Feast for Crows | The World of Ice & Fire (first half)*Ī Dance with Dragons | The World of Ice & Fire (first half)

(Fire and Blood, Volume Two) - Forthcoming Published in anthologies ( (anthology)), ( (anthology)) and ( (anthology)), respectively. (The Winds of Winter) (TWOW) - ForthcomingĪll collected in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2015) Westerosi History Novellas If not, and for all the other books you can't find, amazon is always an easy option. As for purchasing the books, I'm sure the main ones are available at your local book store. The links will take you to the corresponding wiki pages. Feel free to comment with your recommendations, there are a lot ways to read the books! With that out of the way, let's start with a complete book list, updated as of July 2018. Inspired by a recent post asking for a complete ASOIAF book list, I figured I'd make a post with the complete list, and also include a reading guide with some recommended reading orders.
