The Regions of Westeros

Modern fantasy may often embrace strangeness, but A Song of Ice and Fire series is generally praised for what is perceived as a sort of medieval realism. [108] Believing that magic should be used moderately in the epic fantasy genre, [27] Martin set out to make the story feel more like historical fiction than contemporary fantasy, with less emphasis on magic and sorcery and more on battles, political intrigue, and the characters. [26] Though the amount of magic has gradually increased throughout the story, the series is still to end with less overt magic than most contemporary fantasies. [38] In Martin's eyes, literary effective magic needs to represent strange and dangerous forces beyond human comprehension, [61] not advanced alien technologies or formulaic spells. [120] As such, the characters understand only the natural aspects of their world, but not the magical elements like the Others. [108] West, Ed (March 29, 2014).
