Background
Book two in the Game of Thrones Series, A Clash of Kings roughly parallels the 2nd season of the series on HBO.
My Thoughts
It’s a great story but this book is not for kids. (Sometimes I wonder if it is for me…) There is a good deal of strong language and base circumstances. The author starts to give everyone more depth in this book so some characters are easier to like and some you liked turn out to be pretty terrible. On the whole though, everyone is pretty terrible in the series. It certainly doesn’t portray a rosy outlook on life. I have no desire to see the video version.
It takes a bit of work to remember everything that is going on and everyone and how they relate to each other. I made the mistake and put this down for a while and it took a bit to get up to speed.
Recommendation
I enjoyed reading it but this is not for young readers.
