Description
The struggle for the Iron Throne has begun, in a place where winters and summers may last years. 800 feet of solid ice protect the kingdom, and a panoply of medieval-based fantasy characters mix courage, cowardice, nobility and vice in equal measure.Tags

Se possibile questa seconda parte è anche più bella della prima. Ma anche più “dolorosa”: Martin sa essere davvero crudele!

Comment Lord Eddard Stark, seigneur de Winterfell, Main du Roi, gravement blessé par traîtrise, et par là même plus que jamais à la merci de la perfide reine Cersei ou des imprévisibles caprices du despotique roi Robert, aurait-il une chance d'échapper à la nasse tissée dans l'ombre pour l'abattre ?
Comment, armé de sa seule et inébranlable loyauté, cerné de toutes parts par d'abominables intrigues, pourrait-il à la fois survivre, sauvegarder les siens et assurer la pérennité du royaume ?
Comment ne serait-il pas voué à être finalement broyé dans un engrenage infernal, alors que Catelyn, son épouse, a mis le feu aux poudres en s'emparant du diabolique nain Tyrion, le frère de la reine ?
Si les hautes figures, les show more personnages émouvants et les monstres sadiques conservent dans Le Donjon rouge la place de choix qu'ils occupaient dans Le Trône de fer, ce sont surtout les femmes qui tiennent cette fois les premiers rôles : lionnes ou louves, amantes, épouses ou mères, jeunes filles en fleur innocentes ou rebelles, elles réservent à leurs seigneurs et maîtres, censés pourtant dominer la partie, les plus suaves et déchirantes surprises... show less

Annen del av boka «A Game of Thrones».
TV-Serien var meget god, og jeg plukket opp denne boken for å bli bedre kjent med fantasy sagaen: A Game of Thrones.
Boken kan minne om Sagaen om Paksenarrion med mindre innføring i verdenens magi. Vi kastes rett inn i intrigene som leder opp til de store stridene om kongedømmet. Flere paralelle historier fortelles med aktører som sjeldent møtes. Historiene er gode og konsekvente, men bidrar til en svært lang bok.
Man ser bruddstykker av magi og mytiske vesener, men det er ingen helhet i denne verdenens magi til nå. Boken føles slett ikke avluttet. Oversettelsen er rimelig god.

Second part of the novel «A Game of Thrones».
The TV-series was very good, and I picked up this book in order to immerse myself in this fantasy saga: A Game of Thrones.
This book reminds me of «The Deed of Paksenarrion» with less introduction to the magic of the world. We enter into a world of intrigue entering a time of battle for the rown. Several paralell stories are beiing told with characters that seldom meet. The stories are good, but contributes to a very long novel. The small parts of magic and mythical creatures, but there is no consistency to the magics of this world yet. This stories are not fisnished by the end. The translation are pretty good.
