Pros: Detailed, multi characters, believable, inspired by history Cons: A lot to follow, some inconsistencies
Intro
Wow I am soooo glad I found this series, I was looking for some new fantasy stuff and saw this as a recommendation on Amazon.com. There are three books in the series, A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords.
...
Pros: -Great fantasy setting - Wonderful Characters Cons: -Mostly a transition to A Storm of Swords, the third book.
A Clash of Kings is the second book from George RR Martin in the series a song of fire and ice. In the first book, a game of thrones, we are introduced to the great land of Westeros and the struggle for power that has erupted. Our story here ...
Pros: Good characterizations, descriptions of every bodily function available Cons: Too many characters and unusual ways of getting there...
This would be the second book of the lengthening series A Song of Ice and Fire. As the second book you would expect it to extend the f
irst
book, and be equally as good. In fact, the second book of the series ...
Pros: A few interesting characters, a somewhat unique darkness to the atmosphere. Cons: Too many characters, too many plots, too many gimmicks, and far too many pages.
_A Clash of Kings_ is the second in George Martin's verbose saga of the Stark family and their many trials. Once again, we follow a bewildering cast of characters through at least a half dozen major storylines as Martin's world careens ...
Pros: No clichés, heroes have high mortality rate Cons: None
This is a review of book two of Martin's series Song of Ice and Fire. You are also encouraged to read the review for the 1st book A game of thrones which also serves as an introduction to Martin's world. Book two ...
Pros: No clichés, heroes have high mortality rate Cons: None
This is a review of book two of Martin's series Song of Ice and Fire. You are also encouraged to read the review for the 1st book A game of thrones which also serves as an introduction to Martin's world. Book two ...
Pros: Vivid characters. Strong plot. Suspense. Cons: Where's the NEXT book!!!
Winter has arrived. And promises to be longer, more bitter and treacherous than any yet seen. Four kings are declared while an unknown Queen battles to return. Motives span greed and power lust to vengeance or sheer survival in a world suddenly plunged...
Pros: Picks up right where the 1st book left off. Cons: Long, but worth it.
A Clash of Kings is the second novel to what is becoming an incredible fantasy series. This is yet another monster 900 pager but was well worth the effort. For the most part it takes off exactly where the first book begins and just dives straight into...
Pros: maintains realistic characters and political intrigue, plot is getting toward climax Cons: what's this? just more and more pages...and the font is so small!
This first two-hundred or so pages of this book was quite dull for me, Martin introduces yet another storyline to follow and puts characters so distant that you can't really understand what they are doing. Bran continues to have his animal dreams, Arya...
Pros: Never want to let it lie Cons: Never want it to end
Martin proves himself once again as a masterful storyteller. Mayhaps he feared that the first of this new series would falter, so he left it with few loose ends to be tied up in later works. Who knows...
Pros: Fascinating storylines, colorful characters Cons: May be a bit too dark for some
I was glad to see that Martin has lost no momentum whatsoever in his sequel to _A Game of Thrones_. It's been my experience that sequels aren't always as good as the first novel--some just seem to rehash tired ideas, while others simply lose steam and...
Pros: Epic sweep, convincing, distinct, involving character, suspenseful plot, etc. Cons: if you like it, it's not enough; if you don't, it *is* 750 pages.
This review contains major spoilers for both this book and the preceding one, _A Game of Thrones_...Be warned, some events are much better unexpected. Just know that I love it and if you like epic fantasy at all, you'll probably love it too.
Pros: Wonderful character enrichment Cons: Ends abruptly
A Clash of Kings is the second book in Martin's set. Game of Thrones, the first book, ended abruptly, but Clash of Kings picked-up and carried on cleanly. The book is a wonderful mix of historical fantasy and just a little coincidence. The realm...
Pros: Wonderfully written, Martin is a master of fantasy Cons: no complaints here
"A Clash of Kings", book two of George R.R. Martin's wonderful fantasy saga 'A Song of Ice and Fire' is even more brilliant than the first one "A Game of Thrones". Martin continues to draw the reader into the story with his style and his touch of...
