Selected reading
Tyrion Lannister is the youngest child of Tywin and Joanna Lannister, and the brother of Cersei and Jaime. His dwarfism makes him a target for mockery, while his wit and learning give him tools to survive the politics of House Lannister. Tyrion’s difficult relationship with his father and sister shapes his place in the family, even as Jaime remains his closest ally.
