A CLASH OF KINGS
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.

Nach Band I habe ich nun auch Band II - A Clash of Kings - beendet. Gewohnt abwechslungsreich und spannend, vor allem weil nach wie vor mit den einzelnen Kapiteln ständig die Schauplätze wechseln. Genau wie in Band I tragen diese Kapitel die Namen der dort aufauchenden jeweiligen Zentralfiguren. Wie gehabt spielen die über Westeros verstreuten Mitglieder der Familie Stark eine bedeutende Rolle, so dass wiederum Jon Snow, Catelyn, Arya, Sansa und Bran diverse "eigene" Kapitel haben. Ebenso Tyrion Lannister und natürlich Daenerys Targaryen. Aber es treten auch weitere Personen in Erscheinung: Melisandre und Brienne sowie Davos. Theon Greyjoy gerät ebenfalls mehr in den Vordergrund, es kommt tatsächlich an verschiedenen Schauplätzen zum Zusammenprall der verschiedenen konkurrierenden Mächte, dem "Clash of Kings", bis hin zur Schlacht von Kings Landing ... Gut geschrieben und mitreißend, macht Lust auf mehr (Band III liegt parat) - aber oftmals leider auch ziemlich drastisch, was Sex und Gewalt anbelangt. Daher "nur" 4 Sterne.

This book is one of the hugest I've ever read but still I loved it. In this book the old king is dead and several factions struggle for control. The King in the North has made common cause with the rivermen and now fights a bloody war against the Lannisters. Meanwhile Roberts brothers Stannis and Renly claim the throne, but while renly leads an army 100.000 strong, stannis only has the support of a few lesser lords near dragonstone. At Castle Black, Jon Snow and the Men of the Night's Watch march north, against a sudden grouping of the free folk. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Daenarys targaryen and the remains of khal drogos khalasar cross the red waste, lead by a mysterious comet the colour of blood and flame. This book offers all it needs: Battles, politics, mysterious enemies, the fight for survival in a cruel world and love. It can be brutal at some points and there are a few cringe scenes (espacially with theon or tyrion) but in total you have to read this Book.
Note: The series still isn't completed
