Pageantry, Sex, Intrigue, that's just to start!

by ashmason , May 15 '03
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.

Descending into the mediocrity of fantasy series with too many characters...

by tgregoryt Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 05 '06
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 ...

This series is a bloody mess!

by bloolight , Oct 29 '06
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 ...

What sorrow from action long delayed

by kurt_h Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 30 '00
Pros: BIG set of story lines and characters
Cons: Too many to list
"A Clash of Kings" is the second book in the SONG OF FIRE AND ICE series by George R. R. Martin.

The multi-part story line in this book follows the consequences of the actions taken in the first book of the series. With family...

Turning into one terrific fantasy series

by hbomb , Jun 20 '01
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...

Sounds Like Martin's Running Out of Steam, But It's Just All Set-Up.

by t13monkeys Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 01 '01
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...

To Set the Stage....

by BlackBear Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 24 '00
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...

However, he has pulled out all the...

Second in series, still going strong

by arianej, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 07 '00
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...

Why a Clash of Kings is the greatest epic fantasy ever...

by Daniel_Linehan , Apr 16 '00
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.

Wonderful 2nd Book

by kimba1 , Dec 14 '99
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...

A Clash of Kings

by cledge , Dec 17 '01
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...
