A Song of Ice and Fire 2: A Clash of Kings

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This book didn't enthral me the same was that the first book of the series did. It was still however a really good read, just not quite on par with the first book.

I actually took nearly 4 months to read this book, this was in part due to the pace of the story at the beginning of the book, but mostly it was due to my anticipation of the final Wheel of Time book not leaving me the will or concentration to read other books.

I would definitely recommend this book, but I hope the next book in this series is more like the first one.

4/5

This book continues on from Eragon, the first book of the Inheritance Cycle, after Eragon is injured while killing Durza he receives a summon to go to the Elves for training. Eragon and Saphira journey to Ellesmera with Ayra, Orik and a number of other dwarfs.


I really enjoyed this book because it expended the story and world created in Eragon, I couldn't wait to pick up the third book in the Inheritance Cycle.

4/5

Like many other fantasy novels, this story starts with a farm-boy from the middle of nowhere having a life changing experience and venturing off into the world, having a number of adventures along the way and fighting evil.


This is an enjoyable book to read, and leaves you wanting to read the next book in the series.
