Tantae molis erat Romanam condere gentem. Such an epic struggle was it to found the race of Romans.
This book really shows how people's views on one another can change when you decide to open up and mingle with each other rather than sitting back and judging the other person based on their race..

I really enjoyed this book--I couldn't put it down! I have always been interested in twins, ever since I was little. And then I discovered the series of Sweet Valley Twins, Sweet Valley High, and Sweet Valley University. And it turns out that I am now dating a twin! This book was easy to fly through and kept me on the edge of my seat!

I love this book, as much as I love Game of Thrones. As someone who strongly dislikes fantasy novels, this proclamation still surprises me. Sure, the most bothersome elements of the genre - magic and dragons - are mostly present in the background of the story, but in the end George Martin's sage is still a pseudo-medieval display of swords and sorcery. So what makes it so enjoyable? The reason is quite simple. Martin is an extremely gifted writer and Clash of Kings, like its prequel Game of Thrones, is oozing with examples of his amazing skills. He has mastered the art of description, alternating between clear, concrete prose and smart and lively analogies to instill a vivid image in the mind of the reader. He carefully constructs the development of his characters, allowing you to read their minds if you're not given access to them, and manages to equip all of them with unique psychologies and manners. A writer who manages to have my recognize his characters by voice alone, is indeed a master of the craft. Although he overuses rape as a device to introduce characters of low moral caliber, most personality traits are introduced through subtle and clever means. Similarly, the story itself is cleverly constructed. Convincing schemes and military strategies tie together countless subplots, to arrive at an epic narrative that holds the middle between Bronze Age war poems and historic non-fiction. Martin has truly created an alternative world, and takes the time to tell the readers some of its more interesting events. In contrast to the rich descriptions and intricate plot, however, the work is thematically poor. Themes like loyalty, war and morality show up, but the only thing that separates it from medieval fiction in that regard is the use of multiple perspectives, and the accompanying blurring of boundaries between good and evil. In the end, the book just tells an engaging story and does not serve as food for thought. Maybe that's not important in fantasy novels - they're supposed to be escapist, after all - but that then may be the reason that I typically dislike works in the genre. Clash of Kings is an exceptional read in that it can be recommended regardless of your opinion on fantasy novels. Just marveling at the techniques that George Martin uses makes the book worth your while - the entertaining story makes for a great bonus.
#7 on the Modern Library's Top 100 Novels of the 20th century. Hilarious and ultimately tragic. Great therapy whenever you feel frustrated by bureaucracy.
Just spooky enough. (Rebecca Caudill nominee, 2008)
4.5 Gold Crowns. In Claim of Innocence, Laura Caldwell weaves a complex tale of friendship, murder and betrayal. To read this review in its entirety, please visit http://thereadersroundtable.com/myste...
Recommended! It held my flighty attention. It has juicy bits. It's kind of amazing how many things in New York Liberal Arts Grad Land have stayed the same. And sometimes jaw-dropping to see how they're different. Imagine buying a douchebag to use after sex to keep at your boyfriend's house because you can't have it seen by other gals.
