‘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 ‘An extraordinarily rich novel… The book stands out from
similar work by virtue of its superbly developed characters,
accomplished prose and sheer bloody-mindedness.’
Publishers Weekly ‘I read my eyes out. I couldn’t stop until I’d
finished and it was dawn.’
Anne McCaffrey ‘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 ‘One of the all-time classic fantasy series, right up
there with The Belgariad and The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant,
and, yes, with The Lord of the Rings.’
