A review by jenny_librarian
A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
Did not finish book. Stopped at 52%.
I can’t finish this.
It’s been 2 weeks since I put it on hold because it was too violently misogynistic and I can’t bring myself to pick it back up.
I liked the show, but the book is just way too much. And too long.
Also, have of the characters are literal children, which makes what happens to them downright horrific. Sansa is like 12, I think Arya is 10…? So the things happening to them are even more disgusting than in the show where they were aged up. I can’t believe how people can read this and not bat an eye at the horrors these kids go through.
