The character who changed the most in my opinion would be Robb Stark. In the beginning of the novel he was just a young boy who was almost a man and still fought in the practice yard with a wooden sword. Though he was the oldest of Ned's children he was still young and naive. Then when Robert asked Ned to become the Hand of the King and Ned had to go live in the South with his king, Rob was forced to become the master of the household. He saw after his people and took care of all household matters, even when he was alone there with no mother or father for guidance. As the war begins to start Robb calls his father's, and now his, banner-men to their castle and recruits his army for the war. He marches as the battle commander to where his mother is. He is no longer the young boy, but he is now a man grown. He has become much wiser and even learns to listen and heed all of the banner-men's opinions before taking action. In the end of the novel, after his army has defeated Jaime's, he is given the title of King of the North tough he did not ask for it.

Clearly a major external conflict within the novel is the war between the Lannisters and those who choose to follow them and the Starks led by Robb and all of their banner-men. This war takes up a large portion of the novel and causes many deaths on both sides.  When Eddard learns the truth about the king and queen's heir he becomes accused of treason and is taken as a hostage by the new king. This then sparks a series of events that lead to a massive war between the North and South. This war last for a long time and is still technically going on at the end of the novel. A major internal conflict would be right before the war when Ned had learned of the queen's deceit and was unsure how to tell Robert. He struggled with his honor and knowing it was the right thing to do and the safety of his family and comrades when the wrath of the queen and the Lannisters would be exposed. After Robert dies he chooses honor and thinks he will be able to stop Cersei, that it not what happens and in the end a war starts.

Personally I felt that the ending of this novel was perfect. As Daenerys is sitting within the ashes of the pyre with the three new born dragons on her and her khalasaar around her, the reader knows that in book two of the series Daenerys will be an even more important character. Though many sad things did happen towards the end of the novel and numerous loved characters met their demise, the novel was amazing. The somberness and war that was the majority of the last half of the novel was imperative for the unfolding of the ending where it is foreshadowing Daenerys obtaining Westeros. As a reader this ending of the novel makes me look forward to the second book of the series greatly. I look forward to see the King of the North, Daenerys and the dragons, Jon Snow and the others, and how Joffrey continues to fair on the throne.

The Dothraki are a very interesting race with very different customs than anywhere else in the novel. I have provided two links below that explain their history and things like their society and economy.

The history of Westeros (the land where A Game of Thrones takes place) is often hinted at and occasionally spoken of but not thoroughly. For any fans that want a more in-depth look at the children of the forest, giants, or even the others then this website would be great for you.

This novel, by Ernest Ingersoll, is know to be very fascinating on the many different cultures' myths of dragons and how they are perceived as both good and bad. This would make an excellent read for someone who found the stories of the Targaryen's and their dragons they had once had interesting.
