Game of Thrones, a global phenomenon, has captivated audiences from various perspectives. However, extensive research into its viewers remains limited. This book presents the results of a significant international research project, which received over 10,000 responses to an innovative qualitative questionnaire. Among its groundbreaking discoveries are:
• A novel approach to understanding the significance and role of beloved characters in audiences' responses.
• Deep insights into the transformative power of fantasy in fostering contemplation of our own world.
• A comprehensive account of two intertwined emotions—namely, relish and anguish—that shape audiences' reactions to contentious elements within the series.

This groundbreaking research not only sheds light on the intricate dynamics of Game of Thrones' audience but also contributes to our broader understanding of the impact of media and entertainment on society.
