A reread
Might be my favourite book in the series, I might not enjoy every POV, but they are all necessary and have some value.

3.5

the 2nd book in the series
definitely a lot slower and more about war plans and fighting
with king robert and lord ned dead, the north and south has been split between multiple kings
Daenerys fights for ships and the saftey of her clansmen against rich men and lords
theres so much to go into but if you watched the show first you wont be disappointed with extra information( so much talking!)

Je länger ich’s gelesen hab, desto besser wurde es. Wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt um richtig in die Welt abzutauchen ist es super!

4.0

This book has a bit of a slow start with lots of table setting as the world expands to more characters and more locales, but picks up a ton in the second half. So many things happen in this book that are pivotal for the whole series, and it was fun to read this knowing what it all leads to. An interesting thing I noticed and a nice touch is that we never get any of the kings’ experiences - Stannis, Renly, Joffrey, and Robb - so we stay focused on the effect the game of thrones has on others. We get Dany’s perspective, but obviously she doesn’t have much power yet, and her story doesn’t really progress much. This book starts to show the devastating effect of the wars on everyone - it’s a bleak one, but endlessly readable.

Second read-through. Actual review: 4.5/5

I found myself enjoying the first book the second time around reading it over this book. Granted, there is a HUGE amount of detail in this book. I hadn't noticed a lot of the foreshadowing in Martin's writing either, but he definitely puts a lot of thought and artistry into his world.

Whereas the first book was a carbon copy of the first series, the second book definitely takes its veering away from the show (without giving any spoilers away).

I originally gave it a 5/5, but the second read-through, I didn't enjoy it as much. The unending detail in Bran's chapters are a little overwhelming, and boring.
