[{"role": "system", "content": "Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of \"A Song of Ice and Fire\", George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is \"A Game of Thrones\". It is filmed in Belfast and elsewhere in the United Kingdom, Canada, Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, Spain, and the United States. The series premiered on HBO in the United States on April 17, 2011, and its seventh season ended on August 27, 2017. The series will conclude with its eighth season premiering in 2019. Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, \"Game of Thrones\" has several plot lines and a large ensemble cast but centers on three primary story arcs. The first story arc centers on the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms and follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the dynastic noble families either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from the throne. The second story arc focuses on the last descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, exiled and plotting a return to the throne. The third story arc centers on the longstanding brotherhood charged with defending the realm against the ancient threats of the fierce peoples and legendary creatures that lie far north, and an impending winter that threatens the realm.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I've never watched Game of Thrones but I know tons of people that have."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I love Game of Thrones! I read the whole \"A Song of Ice and Fire\" series by George R.R. Martin. The books are definitely better than the show."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Are they? I don't think I know anybody that has read the books before."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They are superb! There's supposed to be seven books in the series. The fourth book, \"A Feast for Crows\", is my favorite."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Cool! How many are out so far?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "There are five books so far. The fifth, \"A Dance with Dragons\", was published in 2011. So, quite awhile ago."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Damn, what's taking him so long with these books then?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "He's currently writing the sixth, \"The Winds of Winter\". He is well known to be a notoriously slow writer and is a harsh critic of his own work...which may explain the delay, much to the dismay of fans."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I have heard that he is pretty slow, but damn it's been almost 8 years since the last one!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I know!!! It's even crazier that he began to write the first book, \"A Game of Thrones\", in 1991 and published it in 1996. He's a very slow writer, but I definitely think it is always worth the wait."}]
