Tyrion does not have my favorite plotline in the series (that honor belongs, and has always belonged to Jon Snow) but he IS my favorite character. I’ll admit I started reading the fantasy novels only after I watched the first two episodes of Game of Thrones on HBO, but man am I glad I finished book one before season one ended and continued on with the series. It was a thrilling read and Tyrion made the story both funny, tear jerking, and vengeful. He is a grade A character. He is also possibly one of the greatest written characters in fictional history.
