MEDIA REVIEWS
'Mr. Martin is a literary dervish,bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers. And Tyrion is his grandest creation'New York Times
'I love Tyrion Lannister. He's a baller and a drinker but he's also dry,cynical,jaded. An atheist and an aesthete. I'm telling you about him because I think you will love him too,and I want to not be the only person in my social circle who has a poster of him on the wall in their kitchen'Caitlin Moran
Praise for A Song of Ice and Fire:
'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
