I did end up liking Sansa a bit more toward the end. No one that I am particularly attached to. Otherwise, the other characters are alright. Jon Snow is one that I find endearing and for some reason, I find his story super compelling. Daenerys, well, she’s the mother of dragons, so obviously I root for her.
Arya is in a terrible situation, and she just proves that she’s a fighter and a survivor.
Although I am not always sure that they genuinely deserve it. Tyrion is awesome because he’s intellectually inclined and so loyal to his family. My favorite point of view characters were Tyrion, Arya, Daenerys and Jon Snow. I think I just like them all so much because they are kind of underdogs, I do not think of them as douchey or annoying. Finally Tyrion is trying to make advantageous marriage deals for Cersei’s kids and somehow ends up captured. Jon Snow is trying to figure out the deal with the Wildlings. Oh and Davos is trying to take over Storm’s End as he is in Stannis’s service and believes Stannis should be on the throne because Joffrey is illegitimate. And Catelyn is the worst, but trying to make deals for Robb. And then there’s Sansa who is basically just trying to survive and in a not so great position. She’s heading North to join the Night’s Watch. Oh and also Arya who has managed to escape the Lannisters but is living as a boy and calling herself Arry. Then we have Daenerys who is trying to make deals but won’t give up her dragons. Theon has pretended to serve the Starks but he ends up double crossing them because he wants to impress his dad. So, we have in fighting between Stannis who is super religious, Renly who is alright, and Joffrey who is the worst. Meanwhile, Robb Stark has been proclaimed king of the North. Essentially this picks up where Joffrey (I hate him) and Robert Baratheon’s brothers are all clamoring for the throne of the Seven Kingdoms. So, A Clash Of Kings follows nine point of view characters – Tyrion, Catelyn Stark, Davos, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Jon Snow, Daenerys, and Theon Greyjoy. Also, finally writing this review feels as though I now have permission to get into A Storm Of Swords– and will probably have that review up in 2020, if I continue at the same rate I seem to be going in. However, if you came here for a totally subjective reaction and to see how it holds up looking back almost four years later, you have come to the right place. I can’t say this will be a lengthy review or very objective. Three and a half years later, here we are with a sort of review. A Clash Of Kings by George RR Martin is a book that I have had on my need to write the review list since December 2013.
