One must presume it is for that exact reason publisher Harper Collins has released a new Game of Thrones book app aimed at attracting lovers of the award-winning show to the original source material.

The app is ideal for those who haven’t read the books, but want to know everything about the lives and history of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world. The extracts will be between 5 minutes and 25 minutes long.
The app now includes 40 excerpts from the five published books in A Song of Ice and Fire, none of which takes more than half an hour to read.
Jane Johnson, publishing director at HarperVoyager, said: “We are thrilled to be able to offer this new way into the books, and to enable TV fans to discover how much they have to look forward to from the reading experience”.
The app will also be updated to keep up with future seasons of the TV show and with upcoming books.
It’s free to download and Martin and fans of the series have had input into its workings so you can be sure it’s pretty comprehensive.
