"A novel - and series - so good that they easily hold their own outside the Fantasy genre as a masterwork in Character, suspense emotion. Sends shiver up my spine still."
"Err, Hobb again. These are slightly less stellar than the first six, but they are still knuckle-bitingly good. Besides, you have to know the end now, don't you?"
"Like LOTR this is a genre defining book - even if it straddles genres! A true masterpeice, most people who are reading this will already know. If you havent - get off your ass"
"GRRM has created probably the most gripping and complex series found in fantasy. Richly descriptive and full of gritty action. Feels so real. A real must....now if only he would finish them....."
"A Stunning debut novel and a great refreshing new direction. Great for returning Fantasy fans looking for something new. Shame about his second book though."
"Another great debut. Very gritty and very funny fantasy romp. Some of the most memorable creations I have come across. Again, shame about the follow-up novels."
"The third in my hat-trick of astonishing debuts - this one is the best of the lot. Comes close to being my favourite novel. God I hope the second book is as good."
