Winter is Coming: Symbols and Hidden Meanings in A Game of Thrones Review: A great follow-on read for those that are waiting for the ... - A great follow-on read for those that are waiting for the next book. This book provides some real points to ponder and helps explain some of the not-so-apparent relationships that I missed in the books. I enjoyed the discussions on how closely some of the storyline in the books parallel with actual history. Most of all I liked how this book helps to explain additional details about some of the major characters and how Martin planted clues throughout the story of what may be coming. Since reading this book, I have much more respect for Martin's writing and may go back and read the series again to help pull more details. Review: Helps if you haven't read the books - I've only seen the series so Frankel's book really helped me to understand and appreciate Game of Thrones in a deeper way. No movie can ever give you the depth of the book, but until I make my way through the five books, Winter is Coming: Symbols and and Hidden Meanings is just what I needed to make more sense of the four seasons I'd just watched. Swords seem to be much more than swords in the series, but until I read this book, I had no idea why. It's all about sacrificing something you love to earn/deserve something of great value. There's the story of the sword Lightbringer, and the legend of how it was forged. "To fight the darkness, Azor Ahai need to forge a hero's sword. He labored for thirty days and thirty nights until it was done. However, when he went to temper it in water, the sword broke. He was not one to give up easily, so he started over. The second time he took fifty days and fifty night to make the sword, even better than the first. To temper it this time he captured a lion and drove the sword int its heart, but once more the steel shattered. . . .he called for his wife, NIssa Nissa and he drove his sword into her breast, her soul combining with the steel of the sword, creating Lightbringer." loc. 153 Frankel goes on to speculation who Jon Snow's father and mother might be which, according to Frankel is different in every book. Ned Stark says that Jon is his blood, yet Ned is an honorable man so it's unlikely that he had a child with another woman while his wife was pregnant so that could only mean that Jon is related to Ned in some other way. Maybe it's his nephew by his sister? And if Robert knew he'd have Jon killed because his father was is Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. I personally love the idea that Jon is a prince because he's so honorable and a natural leader. Frankel gives many more clues and lots of speculation that I imagine I wouldn't need if I'd read the books, but until I can get to reading them, this guide helped me to appreciate the series so much more. With excellent writing, Frankel gives the reader insight into the series without having to read the books. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,228,009 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #581 in TV History & Criticism #9,725 in Performing Arts (Books) | | Book 1 of 2 | A Deeper Look Into Game of Thrones | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (243) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.39 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0692591591 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0692591598 | | Item Weight | 6.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 154 pages | | Publication date | December 3, 2015 | | Publisher | Thought Catalog Books | ## Images ![Winter is Coming: Symbols and Hidden Meanings in A Game of Thrones - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IDVcS0wDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great follow-on read for those that are waiting for the ... *by G***D on September 13, 2014* A great follow-on read for those that are waiting for the next book.

However, the format and overall writing was not phenomenal. I was confused and a little disappointed that the author vacillated between the book and the TV series. I would have preferred a focus just based on the books as they are the premise of the TV series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21856227-winter-is-coming-symbols-and-hidden-meanings-in-a-game](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21856227-winter-is-coming-symbols-and-hidden-meanings-in-a-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
