A review by philrobichaud
A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
4.0
Halfway true i wasn't sure if i loved George R.R. Martin or if i hated him - LOL ! A great sequel to A Game of Thrones - although knowing that no main character is safe does make for edgier reading.
The story is quite entertaining, most times i'm not sure which side of the battle i'm rooting for! Mr. Martin likes to show how there is no good or bad, only complex characters most of which flawed in some way. A lot of the story show how brutal and cruel people can be to get what they want or protect those they love.
Another way in which this series differs greatly from The Lord of the Rings, here the heroes often lose because they did the right thing and didn't betray their allegiances.
