THE STORY:
A Clash of Kings picks up where A Game of Thrones ended. The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros are plagued by civil war, while the Night’s Watch mounts a reconnaissance force north of the Wall to investigate the mysterious people, known as wildlings, who live there. Meanwhile, in the distant east, Daenerys Targaryen continues her quest to return to and conquer the Seven Kingdoms. All signs are foreshadowing the terrible disaster that is to come.
THE REVIEW:
The book is marvelously written. He is a marvelous writer. The story slowly unfolds and theres a game changer at every turn. This book was had to put down. The, though its 873 pages long, has a very simple story which is narrated to us by the different characters. The characters are so beautifully constructed that they fit the role which was ment for them to fill. The only thing I felt lacking in this book was that there were not many chapter of Daenerys Targaryen, The Mother of Dragons.
Other than that its a wonderful book. The thing I found frustrating was that Arya Stark doesn’t reveal to the people hat she is the daughter of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Stark and sister to the King of the North- Robb Stark. I mean if she would have done so she might have been rescued or they would not have taken it seriously. It was a 50/50 chance.
But still it’s an awesome book and I can’t wait to read the third book A Storm of Swords Part 1- Steel and Snow and Part 2- Blood and Gold. I’m sure they too are going to be awesome.
And thank god I managed to finish the book before the second season of A Game of Thrones which starts on April 1st.
FINAL VERDICT:
It’s a wonderful book. George R. R. Martin is truly one of the great authors in The Fantasy genre. 9/10
