REVIEW:

I’ve been a huge fan of the Song of Fire and Ice series for a number of years and with the tv series being such a big hit, its great fun to have a pop-up book that also pulls out as a map. Its quirky, it is wonderfully put together and as a huge fan its something I’m going to treasure and utilise quite a few times.

All round a great bit of fun and a wonderful addition to any GoT fan, definitely something unique and of course perhaps that different option for either a birthday or Christmas. Great stuff.
