From the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shore of Winterfell, chao reigns as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms prepare to stake their claims. As a prophecy of doom cuts across the sky - a comet the colour of blood and flame - five factions struggle for control of a divided land. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, the price of gloryis measured in blood.

Review of 'A Clash of Kings (Martin, George R. R. Song of Ice and Fire, Bk. 2.)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A Clash of Kings continues from where Game of Thrones left off and starts to pick up speed. The story draws you in and the world of Martin gets all the more interesting. At the same time, though, some of the events are described at frenetic pace, and some characters are almost forgotten in this book. Developing multiple story lines is a balancing act, and occasionally it seems as if the balance is a bit off. No doubt things will straighten up in the next installation of the series.
