How Does Game Of Thrones Compare To Lord Of The Rings

Lord of the rings or Game of Thrones?

Both!! They are both great. :) but if you only want to read one of then I suggest LOTR.

Game of thrones vs Lord of the rings?

I am a huge lotr fan. I have only see a few episodes of game of thrones. It isn't a big deal to me. But it is hard comparison because Lord of the rings is a full 4 hour movie with a 300 million dollar budget and they had years to make. Game of thrones is a show and they have a few months to make an episode. But I like Lord of the rings more. Better story line and plot. Higher stakes. Lotr was just more enjoyable to me.

BQ- LOTR characters vs Game of thrones characters in a battle?
I think Aragon and Legolas could kill every character in the game of thrones easily. They are just badas*. They don't even need any more characters.

Which series should I read first Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones?

Unfortunately you'll wait a while if you want to read 'A Song of Ice And Fire' first completely before the The Lord of the Rings trilogy. A Song of Ice and Fire will (eventually) have seven parts released, four are out now A Dance with Dragons will be released in July this year leaving only two more books to publish. However the gap between 'A Feast for Crows' and the release of 'A Dance with Dragons' was so big that it could be 2020 when the last book in the series is out (a rough dodgy estimate there.) If you want to read a complete set of work now then by all means read The Lord of the Rings, if you want to read a partially completed set of work then start A Song of Ice and Fire.

And yes, in the additional details, I would read The Hobbit first before the Lord of the Rings. You'll understand why Bilbo acts the way he is in the Trilogy and later you'll see that in Frodo because you'll have references to the passages of Gollum and the 'Riddles in the Dark' chapter in The Hobbit.

Which world (Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones) is more similar to the real medieval Europe?

Almost certainly GoT is more like mediaeval Europe - or at least it goes into more political and low-level detail.LotR is a mixture of Bronze Age Celtic and Germanic, early mediaeval Anglo-Saxon, and French late mediaeval influences, plus a hefty dash of 19th-century middle-class English rural life in the shape of the Shire. It also assumes a political order founded on the willing coexistence of numerous sentient species, of which humans are only one.GoT, on the other hand, is overtly founded on Europe during England’s Wars of the Roses. It’s much more humanocentric (if you’re not human, you’re definitely a monster… if you are human, you’re only probably a monster). It also has a much more authentically brutal class system, an influential professional clergy, arranged marriages, ruthless politicking and a general aesthetic of grubbiness.But of course, Tolkien wasn’t trying to create an authentic pseudohistorical society; he was trying, instead, to create a myth cycle to replace what he believed had been lost from British - specifically English - culture.
