That’s always a good feeling, when a writer can do something like that. He felt like a real contender to the Iron Throne, and even though I felt like he couldn’t win because Tyrion was a defender of the city, I was still surprised when he lost. Stannis was a great character to introduce in this book. And the world itself feels so epic, it’s impossible not to get lost in it all. The characters are all fantastic and unique within this world. This section is spoiler free, so I can’t really talk about what happened in more detail than that! All you need to know is that continuing with the story is worth it – it’s exciting, bloody, brutal, and engaging. Jon’s arc was brilliant – I want more of that!Īrya was on a bit of a travelogue – if a bit of a dark one – which was so much fun to be on because the world was amazing to explore.ĭaenerys had a hell of a journey, but it’s not over yet. Bran’s story was quite slow but it’s beginning to pick up the pace. Sansa’s chapters were difficult to read but offered a glimpse into the mind of the boy king that we didn’t get (much of) anywhere else.Ĭat and Robb had a steep hill to climb and their struggle really hit home hard.

The stakes are higher – there are factions and rebellions, new and dangerous characters, and the world just keeps getting bigger.

The aftermath of book one, A Game of Thrones is at the core of this book, driving it forward.
