Critics Review
-
‘I always expect the best from George R. R. Martin, and he always delivers’
Robert Jordan‘Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best. In fact . . . this is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien’
Time‘Long live George Martin….A literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers’
The New York Times‘George R.R. Martin is one of our very best writers, and this is one of his very best books’
Raymond E. FeistPraise for A Song of Ice and Fire:
'In the grand epic fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best … tense, surging, insomnia-inflicting'

It's OK if a little disappointing. Initially the scale was grand awesome almost, but in the end it's simply a story of some people and something else on a spaceship. 2001 a space Odyssey it definitely isn't.
