23. A Clash of Kings.

23. A Clash of Kings. George R. R. Martin. 760 pages. May 2011.

This book was similar to the last one. It has the same good things and the same flaws.

The books is interesting it has the action in different fronts and you want to know what is going to happen. The problem is that you want to know what is going to happen in 5 different stories and you have to wait more than 120 pages to find out. The book is complex in its plot, the alliances change very fast and you have to put attention. I do not know who this guy is going to put together all the stories at the end, make them a big story. Another problem is that you get some point of views that make you side with some of the character and hate the other ones. At some time someone has to lose. The story advanced very well but some things that seemed important in the past are now forgotten are they going to be brought back to the plot?? This book is only for fans, I do not know how they are going to put it in a television series, from what I have seen in GoT the plot is hard to follow on screen.
