R. Martin, author of A Game of ThronesOne of the main reasons I started writing fantasy … Tad Williams’ work is an essential part of any science fiction and fantasy library – Christopher Paolini, author of the Inheritance Cycle seriesGround-breaking … changed how people thought of the genre and paved the way for so much modern fantasy, including mine – Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Kingkiller Chronicle
