A Game of Thrones (Martin) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
We have been invited to a grand feast and pageant: George R.R. Martin has unveiled for us an intensely realized, romantic but realistic world.
Chicago Sun-Times


The major fantasy of the decade…compulsively readable.
Denver Post

(Starred review.) [T]riumphant…[with] superbly developed characters, accomplished prose and sheer bloody-mindedness. Although the romance of chivalry,…tournaments, derring-do and handsome knights abound, these trappings merely give cover to dangerous men and women who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
Publishers Weekly


[I]ntrigue, action, romance, and mystery in a family saga…it promises to repay reading and rereading, from first volume to last, on account of its literacy, imagination, emotional impact, and superb world-building. Roland Green
