Finished A Clash of Kings over the long weekend. It’s about as good as A Game of Thrones, if not a bit better. The saga goes on and there’s still the political maneuverings, the cloak-and-dagger stuff, the skirmishes, and the battles. There’s also a little bit more of magic and sorcery, edging the series from medieval and towards fantasy. Unexpected was the battle outside the walls of King’s Landing towards the end. The battles in A Game of Thrones were rather smallish or seemed like so but this one was HUGE. Though it could have been more epic by adding more detail and perspectives, but it’s good enough as it is. I read there’s going to be a TV version and I wonder, considering the low budget of TV productions, how they’re going to pull this off. It would be sad if they couldn’t.

The HBO series is already out. Production was overseen by the man George R.R. Martin himself; they nailed the casting! Go download it! It’s EPIC.
Seen the HBO series Game of Thrones already. Indeed it was epic and a very good conversion to TV. I hope they pull the same off with A Clash of Kings.
Based on the success of GOT on HBO, the second season “Clash of Kings” will no doubt surpass the expectations of all who anxiously wait for it’s April 2012 release. For those who were confused in the first Season, it only gets better. The existing characters, the battles, the dragons, and new characters as well, but my favorite chapters of the book was Aryas trip up north along the Kingsroad….Awesome story telling by Martin…enjoy!
