All of the various knights, lords, kings, advisors, and lowborns might be overwhelming, and you tend to forget the different characteristics of each sub-character. Speaking of characters, there are a lot of them in this book. The plot twists of each of the characters make for a constantly engaging storyline, while Martin’s prose and description is so realistic one can just imagine so clearly each main character. Martin is just amazing at leading on the reader and coming up with the unexpected. My Thoughts: This book was a great continuation of the previous book, A Game of Thrones. Meanwhile, in the North, disturbances of savages arise, and in the far East, a new generation of dragons begin… Martin did a great job in continuing the series by creating another great literary masterpiece.īrief Summary: As the main king of the kingdom of Westoros dies, many other “kings” arise from different regions and duke it out in order to claim the one Iron Throne.
