Boaz: to expand a bit, GRRM himself has drawn a parallel in one area between the works, and that is in the gradually expanding scope he was aiming for.
He's said that, just as LOTR starts with the hobbits in the Shire and moves out to encompass more and more characters and epic world-changing events, he wanted ASOIAF to begin with the Starks in Winterfell and move outwards to King's Landing and beyond, expanding the scope and scale. |
