Praise for A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: 'In the grand epic fantasy
tradition, Martin is by far the best … tense, surging,
insomnia-inflicting' Time Magazine ‘An absorbing, exciting read …
Martin’s style is so vivid that you will be hooked within a few
pages’ The Times ‘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 ‘Colossal, staggering … Martin captures all the
intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome
in his imaginary world … The writing is always powerful …' SFX
