A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

dark tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

You need endurance to make it through this one, but it’s worth it. 

I like the complexities of George R.R. Martin’s world-building. He breaks down each house and every single person in those houses. He says how they died or what they did, even though they may never have a role in the story. This just gives us a glimpse into his imaginative mind.
