A Storm of Swords. Slipcase Edition

'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

'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

'Truly epic. . . An extraordinarily rich novel. . . with its magnificent action-filled climax, it provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites. . . The book stands out from similar work by virtue of its superbly developed characters, accomplished prose and sheer bloody-mindedness.'
Publishers Weekly

'A vast, rich saga, with splendid characters and an intricate plot flawlessly articulated against a backdrop of real depth and texture.'
Kirkus
