This book is one of the hugest I've ever read but still I loved it. In this book the old king is dead and several factions struggle for control. The King in the North has made common cause with the rivermen and now fights a bloody war against the Lannisters. Meanwhile Roberts brothers Stannis and Renly claim the throne, but while renly leads an army 100.000 strong, stannis only has the support of a few lesser lords near dragonstone. At Castle Black, Jon Snow and the Men of the Night's Watch march north, against a sudden grouping of the free folk. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Daenarys targaryen and the remains of khal drogos khalasar cross the red waste, lead by a mysterious comet the colour of blood and flame. This book offers all it needs: Battles, politics, mysterious enemies, the fight for survival in a cruel world and love. It can be brutal at some points and there are a few cringe scenes (espacially with theon or tyrion) but in total you have to read this Book. Note: The series still isn't completed

In the second volume of „A…

In the second volume of „A Song of Ice and Fire” several factions claim their right to the Iron Throne and thereby to the Seven Kingdoms. The entire realm is at war and loyalties can change at any moment. Brothers are fighting against brothers and not everything is as it seems. Between incest, murder and intrigues everyone tries to find their place on the winning side. Until in the end it all leads to one final battle right at Kings Landing. 

I don’t think there is anything new I could add to the thousands of reviews already out there but since I review almost every book I read I did not want to make an exception here. To be honest I have no clue why I waited so long to finally start reading the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. While in the first book I had some problems to differentiate between all the different characters it was way easier in this one. Probably because I already knew all of them from the last one. So far I still have not watched the tv show yet because everyone keeps telling me to read the books first. Therefore I can not compare the two at all but I also do not think that this is necessary. While reading this book I really enjoyed the style of writing and also the great world building. I loved to have so many different POVs so I could really learn a lot about this world and all the characters and families in it. Although some characters are more important than others I would not say that there is one main character and therefore it’s not like most books where you can really watch one protagonist grow and change throughout the story. As the series progresses I hope we will see more developments in the main characters though. While the start of the book was a bit slow, the pace really increased in the second half and there was quite a lot of action.

In my opinion it’s a great sequel in the series and I will definitely continue reading the next book soon. 100% recommendation from my side.
