GOD. that was crazy.

first of all... SANSA! and the Tyrells! God, i have said all prayers just to keep her safe. My little bird suffered so much I feel so so bad. She had no family, alone with her abuser and dreaming of her dead direwolf with her! AND MY WIFE MARGAERYYYYYY!

Tyrion is fucked after the battle PLEASE. I loved loved LOOOVED his interactions with Cersei. the most entertaining arguments of all time mind you. They don't and will never get along unless they'll fulfill each other's quests and it's soooo funny and amusing to look at.

Arya escaping Harrenhall WE CHEERED! VALAR MORGHULIS, her murderer era has begun and i'm so thrilled for her story arc.

THEON GREYJOY YOU WILL ROT in a pig swamp with your head cvt-off. I hate you. I hate traitors. You're Stupid and RUTHLESS. you destroyed WINTERFELL. I was thankful Ramsay beated your ass but I'm gonna take it back because Ramsay's worse than a rat.

Catelyn and Brienne <3 small interaction but it was okay!

Bran. Yeah hes alright. Hodor.

DAVOOOOOOOOS SEAWORTH. I need more of him. Melisandre carried. I'm so stoked for her.

Daenerys.... only five chapters and Qarth has done her DIRTY she's been betrayed and has been fed lies please 😭.

PRAYING FOR WHAT'S TO COME. I'm SO EXCITED FOR THE TYRELLS THOUGH.

There’s no denying that it is a very good book, and clearly strong source material for the HBO show. 

I did not like it as much as the first, but it was not bad. 

Idk. There’s something about these books that scream “this was written by a man!!!” I could give about 58 examples but I’d rather die than think about them.

Again, just like the first book, the discussion of underaged sex and sexuality will turn your stomach. It’s really not doing what Georgey thinks it’s doing. It’s pretty vile.

Other than that, the relationships and politics are quite interesting! Would not read again, but mostly happy I read it once.

Barely anything interesting happened for most of the book, unless you count someone (a woman/a child) being raped every second chapter as "interesting".
Daenerys', Theon's and Davos's chapters were the best ones.

I cannot express how happy I am to have started reading ASOIAF. George R R Martin is a fantastic author and I feel so deeply encapsulated in the world whenever I open the book. I truly believe that there is not another author who has made me feel the way I have felt like Martin. The characters can be so easily hateable but the plot and story is so good that I can't even hate the characters. I feel like the world that has been built in this novel is so vast and detailed and I am never really left questioning something. I cannot wait to keep going because while I loved this book, the finale definetly did not have the same impact as Game of Thrones. A Clash of Kings is truly another masterpiece in this series and I recommend that anyone reads it. The world was expanded upon really well however I did feel like the majority of the characters do not have a fully completed arc (I know that it is a series but the first did not leave me with this feeling. Luckily I can just start the next book now but I cannot imagine waiting years for the next book to come out and being left with a feeling of incompleteness). I am excited for a few new perspectives that are introduced in A Storm of Swords (just wanted to mention that I love how the title is hinted at towards the end of the novel - 'a storm is coming')

This book is not for the faint of heart, but it is a very good read. Massive trigger warnings!! George RR Martin is fantastic at writing deeply flawed, disturbed, and fascinating characters. He does not shy away from ANY taboo subjects or content. If you loved the show, the books are insanely good at world-building and the balance of political drama vs fantasy themes. Very long, sometimes boring but overall deeply interesting and worth it for the character deep dives.

A strong continuation to a great series. Well paced, and well written, and all character motivations are explained and portrayed beautifully, though this is a dark book, I never felt that any of the darker subject matter was portrayed as anything other than horrible, though I realise this series will not be for everyone, the dramatic moments make the longer length worth it.
