‘A Game of Thrones grabs hold and won’t let go. It’s
brilliant.’
Robert Jordan ‘Colossal, staggering… Martin captures all the
intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome
in his imaginary world… one of the greats of fantasy
literature.’
SFX ‘Fantasy literature has never shied away from grandeur, but the
sheer-mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy
writers away shaking their heads… Its ambition: to construct the
Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they
could eat the Borgias.’
Guardian ‘Such a splendid tale. I couldn’t stop till I’d finished
and it was dawn.’
Anne McCaffrey
