A review by syssneck
A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

adventurous challenging dark sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Compared to the first book in the series, this one has more in every way. 
More descriptions of food and clothes and more names, than I could ever bother to remember. Despite being longer than the first one, less happens overall and it seems rather obvious, that this tome lays the ground for the next installment. 
Overall, I still enjoyed the second book, but not as much, as the first one. I will continue the series and hope, that the next book will be more akin to the first one.
