Summary/Review:
The second installment of A Song of Ice and Fire was gripping to my ears as I plowed through the audiobook. Despite the title, there is not much clashing for most of the novel, but there is a lot of moving of chess pieces around the board. There’s also a grim portrait of the effect of war on the ordinary people in Westeros. Having watched the television series, I notice that it diverges more from the source material than in A Game of Thrones, but not so much that I’d wonder why they make the changes.
Rating: ***
