The Wheel of Timeauthor Robert Jordan had written a short endorsement for the cover that was influential in ensuring the book's and hence series' early success with fantasy readers. He also decided to avoid the conventional good versus evil setting typical for the genre, using the fight between Achilles and Hector in Homer's Iliad, where no one stands out as either a hero or a villain, as an example of what he wants to achieve with his books. The family names were designed in association with ethnic groups (see backstory): the First Men in the North of Westeros had very simply descriptive names like Stark and Strong, whereas the descendants of the Andal invaders in the South have more elaborate, undescriptive house names like Lannister or Arryn, and the Targaryens and Valyrians from the Eastern continent have the most exotic names with the letter Y. This pushed Martin back towards writing books, where he did not have to worry about compromising the size of his imagination. A long prologue was to establish what had happened in the meantime, initially just as one chapter of Aeron Damphair on the Iron Islands at the Kingsmoot.With A Dance with Dragons said to be half-finished, [51] Martin mentioned in the epilogue of A Feast for Crows that the next volume would be released by the next year.

The success of these breath-taking books has led onto even greater acclaim for the HBO television adaptation 'Game of Thrones'.
