    The drawbacks... loom large: non’self-contained entries; a cast of thousands, and, as a result, the impossibility of remembering... who’s who or what’s been going on.

    parts of A Clash of Kings certainly did drag. George R. R. Martin wastes an unnecessary amount of words and time on detail.

    In a genre that often protects its heroes to the bitter end, it's refreshing to not be able to forsee the outcome of conflicts.

    a rather breathtaking book... A Clash of Kings carried the story forward in a masterful way and has convinced me that George R. R. Martin really does know how to tell a story the right way.
