Summary

Add a CommentLoved this book as much as the first. I enjoy all the details in this book whether it's describing good or bad events. Now onto the third book.

An absorbing read, although I could do with a little less enthusiasm for the details of various rapes and murders.
It takes a bit to get moving but when it does, watch out! Heavy action and some deal making going on here!

Once I started this, it's hard to put down.
I think this was kind of an in-between book, for me. Martin's chess pieces were left in one position at the end of A Game of Thrones and he must set them up in a position to make another move later; so this book seemed to be more about moving the characters around than about doing something more emotionally wrought. Or maybe it was just that the emotional moments happened to characters that I don't really care about: Theon, Catelyn, Davos etc. But even Jon, Tyrion and Daenerys got a little boring. Still it was a good book, and I'm eager to read more.
I love the style of writing in these books and it makes them near impossible to put down. Great characters and great plots.
Great follow up to A Game of Thrones. It is full of political intrigue and back stabs! While not as good as the 1st or 3rd book, I feel that it is a great set up book for the third book, A Storm of Swords.
A Big Disappointment. Book One, A Game of Thrones, ends with a cliffhanger for most of the main characters. What will happen to them? What's beyond the Wall? Well, besides a big battle in this book, not much happened. One character's chapters are filled with the character's dreams....soooo boring!!! Martin adds plenty of new characters, then enjoys killing them off in sadistic ways. If he doesn't care about his characters, why should you? I can see this ending badly like the fantastic TV show "Lost". I'm done with series.
