The first novel in the Game of Thrones book series is actually composed of three stories, told from the point of view of eight separate characters.

Review: This book polarizes readers — goodreads. Perhaps it can best be described as an emotional roller coaster.
You'll hate it, you'll love it, you'll vow to never read it again and then you'll be eagerly looking for the sequel. A bleeding star causes differing cultures to believe alternate prophecies are being fulfilled, leading to five separate kings clashing for power. Robb stood knee-deep in white, his hood pulled back so the sun shone in his hair.
He was cradling something in his arm, while the boys talked in hushed, excited voices. The riders picked their way carefully through the drifts, groping for solid footing on the hidden, uneven ground. Jory Cassel and Theon Greyjoy were the first to reach the boys. Greyjoy was laughing and joking as he rode. Bran heard the breath go out of him. Jory's sword was already out. Robb grinned and looked up from the bundle in his arms.
Bran was afire with curiosity by then. He would have spurred the pony faster, but his father made them dismount beside the bridge and approach on foot. Bran jumped off and ran. By then Jon, Jory, and Theon Greyjoy had all dismounted as well.
Bran's heart was thumping in his chest as he pushed through a waist-high drift to his brothers' side. Half-buried in bloodstained snow, a huge dark shape slumped in death. Ice had formed in its shaggy grey fur, and the faint smell of corruption clung to it like a woman's perfume. Bran glimpsed blind eyes crawling with maggots, a wide mouth full of yellowed teeth.
But it was the size of it that made him gasp. It was bigger than his pony, twice the size of the largest hound in his father's kennel. They grow larger than the other kind. Theon Greyjoy said, "There's not been a direwolf sighted south of the Wall in two hundred years. Bran tore his eyes away from the monster. That was when he noticed the bundle in Robb's arms. He gave a cry of delight and moved closer. The pup was a tiny ball of grey-black fur, its eyes still closed.
It nuzzled blindly against Robb's chest as he cradled it, searching for milk among his leathers, making a sad little whimpery sound. Bran reached out hesitantly. Bran gave the pup a quick nervous stroke, then turned as Jon said, "Here you go. Its fur was soft and warm against his cheek. Father frowned. Yet he seemed troubled. Snow crunched under his boots as he moved around the body.
His father knelt and groped under the beast's head with his hand. He gave a yank and held it up for all to see. A foot of shattered antler, tines snapped off, all wet with blood. A sudden silence descended over the party.
The men looked at the antler uneasily, and no one dared to speak. Even Bran could sense their fear, though he did not understand. His father tossed the antler to the side and cleansed his hands in the snow. His voice broke the spell. He drew his sword. The little thing squirmed against him, as if it heard and understood. For a moment he sounded as commanding as their father, like the lord he would someday be.
Bran looked to his lord father for rescue, but got only a frown, a furrowed brow. Better a swift death than a hard one from cold and starvation. He did not want to cry in front of his father. Robb resisted stubbornly. She'll have milk enough.
It was strange to hear him call Father that, so formal. Bran looked at him with desperate hope. The direwolf is the sigil of your House. Your children were meant to have these pups, my lord. Bran saw his father's face change, saw the other men exchange glances.
He loved Jon with all his heart at that moment. Even at seven, Bran understood what his brother had done. The count had come right only because Jon had omitted himself.
