Advantages: Engrossing, amazing, ingenious. Disadvantages: Leaves you craving for more. A big series.
for one of them anyway. My favourite characters are Arya, Rob, Jon and of course Tyrion.
Martin is not afraid from the unusual setting he has decided to write this epic fantasy. In fact it works so well that it adds to the readability to the whole story. Nor is he afraid from a little blood letting from the ?good? Houses. There is a magical element within the story but so perfectly woven that it feels real. Death on a rampage no character is safe. With battles, knights and lords this series is indeed that has it all.
?-Against the backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, the price of glory is measured in blood? (Book two, A Song of Ice and Fire)
So tell me who will you be rooting for, Cersei, Tyrion, Jon, and Bran or will you be Arya, Little Finger, Jamie or even Gregor. ...
Advantages: Twisting multiple plotlines over a massive world of engaging characters. Disadvantages: Not one you can pick up without reading at least the third novel.
"A Feast for Crows" is the fourth book in GeorgeR.RMartin's "Song of Fire and Ice" series. The word 'epic' is too often applied to the fantasy genre as a whole yet this series has every fan of the genre screaming the word from the rooftops. This is a series that you find yourself recommending to everyone, even those who loathe the genre. Indeed, the last series I can remember all readers recommending so heartily is "Lord of the Rings" by the great J.R.R Tolkien which for me is the highest praise indeed.
However, do not assume that this is purely a fantasy masterwork. The "Song of Fire and Ice" series is all about the politics of royalty. The series as a whole is more about family relationships and the fratricide, incest and vengeance to be found within them. That is not to say that it is not all weaved around a staggeringly complex ...
Advantages: Inovative style, fantastic storyline Disadvantages: Have to buy more books to find out the ending
Hi all chaps!
Due to Ciaos fantastic technical skills when the database was changed the category for A Song of Ice and Fire Book 1 disappeared and it ended up in the category for Book 3,
I'd be grateful therefore if you could take absolutely no notice of this review, and rate accordingly, i.e DONT!!
Cheers

I discovered GeorgeR.R.Martin when browsing through my local W.H. Smiths and it was on offer, as a huge fan of Eddings, Feist, Gemmell, etc. I decided to give it a go. I am now hooked on the whole series!
The book itself is written in an extremely original and innovative style. Rather than focusing on one character and their interaction with others, it takes one character a chapter and go's through their adventures.
There is Lord Eddard Stark, the warden of the North, his wife Catelyn and their children, Rickon ...

Manufacturer's product description
George R.R. Martin writes sword-and-sorcery which concentrates on the swords. <I>A Clash of Kings</I> is the second volume of A Song of Ice and Fire, the sequence which began with <I>A Game of Thrones</I> and will take another four volumes to complete. The Seven Kingdoms are divided by revolt and blood feud; beyond their Northern borders, the men of the Night Watch fight the coming of a great cold and the walking corpses that travel with it; on the other side of the ocean, the last of the Kingdom's deposed ruling house mourns her horseclan husband and rears the dragonlets she hatched from his funeral pyre. This is character-driven fantasy--we see most events through the eyes of the sons and daughters of the Stark family, the once and future Kings of the North, whose father's judicial murder started the war. Martin avoids the cosy Californian cheeriness of many epic fantasies in favour of a sense of the squalor and grandeur of high medieval life; there is passion here, and misery and charm--and a profound sense of moral ambiguity as we learn to like the Richard III figure in this epic as much as the more virtuous Starks. --<I>Roz Kaveney</I>
