Rezensionen

"Young deftly explains the sophisticated literary techniques underpinning Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire, showing George R.R. Martin to be a master craftsman of the fantasy epic. George R.R. Martin and the Fantasy Form is a pioneering work of Martin criticism."

Kris Swank, Signum University and Pima Community College

"Dr. Young's treatment of Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire through the perspectives of most of the important theories of fantasy of the past thirty years makes it a critical book for the student of Martin and, indeed, for the student of fantasy literature."

Susan Johnston, Department of English, University of Regina
