A review by laburnumflowers
A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

adventurous challenging tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

ok so this is objectively a great plot but god is it sometimes hard to read. I love Jon,  Bran,  Arya and Tyrion's chapters but who even is davos like no thanks. Also i hate theon so much i actually hope he dies. It's a good book but be prepared for a lot of disgusting misogyny,  the ways characters treat women are terrible- I get that it's meant to be a medieval-adjacent world but come on.
