I found that A Clash of Kings was every bit as good as its predecessor and better. Once again I found myself at the mercy of Martin's manipulation: characters I loved in A Game of Thrones became loathsome and characters that I hated became beloved as this 900+ page epic unfolded. Despite the absurd number of characters that he works with, I find that Martin does an excellent job of reminding his readers just who is who. Even if you can't remember a character's name, you remember the character. I can also see where the intricacies of the plot could put some people off, but I for one love the intrigue and continual games of cross and double cross. Here's hoping Martin keeps me guessing until the very end.

Dios, sí que me tomó tiempo leer esto (y los que vienen son aún más largos), aunque igual tampoco fue culpa del libro. Aun cuando no lo considero tan increíble como el primero, todavía me pareció fantástico; las partes donde cojeaba un poco en el anterior se mejoraron (como los capítulos de Bran, Sansa, incluso Catelyn), pero también hubo partes que costaron (Danny, principalmente).
Digamos que es más un 4.5/5 que un cuatro.

Awesome. Glad I didn't wait for the series to be completed, even if it does mean a cliffhanger ending when I catch up,

Sansa wasn't nearly as annoying as I remembered but that's damning her with faint praise.
My enjoyment of this book was dimmed by the fact that I know there are many hundreds of pages more to go and even then I won't have answers to any of my questions.

Absolutely fucking disgusting book full of graphic, obscene depictions of rape. What the fuck. Deranged. I had to quit halfway through, after a graphic depiction of a 13-year old girl being gang-raped. Holy shit. Anyone not disgusted by this book is also deranged. Fuck.
