Review: A Game of Thrones / A Clash of Kings

A Game of Thrones / A Clash of Kings A Game of Thrones / A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kind of a long slog, not as good as the first book of the series. Martin feels the need to alternate each chapter between characters making it tough to maintain continuity of the story, especially given the number of characters he parades in and out of each scene. Also, he uses the second book to impart the backstory he missed in the first.

Where the first book seems written for the screen, this one is going to be tough for the HBO crew to translate for the series.
