A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire #2), by George R R Martin

A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire #2), by George R R Martin, 926 pages

I was a little on the fence with the first book in this series- it was good, but tedious at times.  This book has really grabbed me, however.  The action is bursting in this second book of the series, and even chapters told by boring characters hold suspense, intrigue, and dramatic changes.  Also, slowly but surely, more fantastic elements are finding their way into the story.  Things are getting REAL- war is raging all over the place, the dragons are cat-sized (which is a little cute and terrifying all at once), Theon is a JERK, and Tyrion is, as usual, running it like a BOSS.  Does it seem like I overdid the all-caps?  Not if you've read the book.  This is an awesome epic fantasy series- I'm biting my nails, hoping that my favorite characters live and that the evil ones get what's coming to them.
