michelleforrestry 's review for:
A Clash of Kings
by George R.R. Martin
I was really on the fence with this series. I first heard about the television show, and after reading rave review after rave review, finally decided to watch it. And in about three days I had finished all of the first season and couldn't wait to read the first book. After finishing the first book, I ran out and bought the box set for the series.
And I'm glad I did.
A Clash of Kings is an amazing sequel to The Game of Thrones, introducing new characters and continuing the story of past favourites. We also get to see more of the world that George R. R. Martin has created by going beyond the Wall, exploring different castles, and traveling with the Dothraki. I also really enjoy the fact that Martin manages to make characters sympathetic, even if you're not cheering for their team (or perhaps king would be more appropriate).
My only complaint is that the storyline of some of the characters seemed to drag on longer than necessary. For example, not much really happens with Daenerys, so her chapters could've been fewer by maybe skimping on some of the unnecessary descriptions and putting her events in less chapters.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and can't wait to read the third in the series.
