A Clash of Kings is the second book in George RR Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series.The land of Westeros is in chaos. There are four kings and one queen claiming power and they are about to clash.
I don't want to give too much away about the first book, so it is difficult to add any plot summary...
The Stark house is spread over the kingdom and by the end of the this book there will be no two in the same place. Tyrion Lannister is finally taken seriously for his wisdom and strategy. Boys who used to listen to their mothers stop doing so when they become kings. Daenerys is still trying to get back to Westeros to reclaim the thrown stolen from her father.
What Martin does in the midst of a well thought out plot, is create characters who are whole and flawed. Each character is an important part of the story and interesting in his/her own right. He is a master story teller.
