The plot of A Game of Thrones, possibly the most complicated and interesting book series I have ever read, is more knotted than my headphones after putting them in my pocket for ten minutes. The exposition is never boring, which is a pretty big achievement, a far cry from anything I've ever written. Usually it opens with a death or some new information, and from there the action builds. The rising action is really created when there is a very important piece of information only a few characters know, and then all the others make decisions while misinformed, and they learn said information later. The viewpoints also tie in nicely with each other, even though the viewpoint is switched constantly every chapter.

At the climax of the story is usually a shocking death or massive battle, though mini-climaxes occur frequently and their falling action falls quickly. If you were to draw the plot, it'd look something like a mountain range, though it does tend to pick up speed mid-book. From there, it rises up and down and up and down, though there are sometimes flat zones in which a character does little or is depressed or both. Thanks for reading, see ya on the other side.
