Í heildina fannst mér þessi bók góð. Á köflum voru óvæntar uppákomur sögunnar svo magnaðar að maður stóð á öndinni af spenningi og varð jafnvel um og ó. Fyndin og spennandi á köflum en þess á milli varð hún þyngri aflestrar á meðan George Martin streðaði við að halda sögunni gangandi í öllum útkimum landsins þar sem söguhetjurnar voru staddar. (  ) SkuliSael | Apr 28, 2022 |  OK, this series is growing on me. The characters are fun and that battle scene was pretty bad-ass. The plot remains extremely slow-moving, so my strategy for the rest of the series is to not get too invested in outcomes and just enjoy the craziness of all these (most-likely) doomed lords & ladies. Bring on the mayhem. (  ) jdegagne | Apr 23, 2022 | Didn't grip me quite as much as the first, but still very, very good. ( ) whatmeworry | Apr 9, 2022 | I can not get enough of this series. (  ) swbesecker | Feb 28, 2022 | Although a lot happens, the story and characters never captured my attention like in the first book. ( ) breic | Feb 26, 2022 |
 Martin manages very well to have satisfying volume completion and satisfying character arcs within the volume—slightly less well than in the first book, but still remarkably well considering how difficult it is.  Roy Dotrice rises to the challenge, providing each character with his or her own unique voice. Once again Martin treats us to a magnificent tapestry that is, at once, both stunningly detailed and amazing in its ability to draw the reader into its grasp.

A comet the color of blood and flame cuts across the sky. Two great leaders--Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon--who hold sway over an age of enforced peace are dead, victims of royal treachery. Now, from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns. Six factions struggle for control of a divided land and the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, preparing to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war. It is a tale in which brother plots against brother and the dead rise to walk in the night. Here a princess masquerades as an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel ... and the coldest hearts. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles. No library descriptions found. |
