Un cometa del color de la sangre hiende el cielo, cargado de malos augurios. Y hay razones sobradas para pensar así: los Siete Reinos se ven sacudidos por las luchas intestinas entre los nobles por la sucesión al Trono de Hierro. En la otra orilla del mar Angosto, la princesa Daenerys Targaryen conduce a su pueblo de jinetes salvajes a través del desierto. Y en los páramos helados del norte, más allá del Muro, un ejército implacable avanza hacia un territorio asolado por el caos y las guerras fratricidas.

reviewed Choque de Reyes by George R. R. Martin (Canción de Hielo y Fuego, #2)

Review of 'Choque de reyes' on 'Goodreads'

Este libro me da una sensación de "intermedio" parecida a la que me da "Las Dos Torres", de J.R.R. Tolkien. No me extraña porque, si no me equivoco, Canción de Hielo y Fuego iba a ser una trilogía, por lo que esta entrega se siente un poco así, en mi opinión.

También es verdad que no es la primera vez que lo leo, creo que para quienes lo lean por primera vez, no tiene por qué ser así. Para mí no lo fue cuando lo leí por primera vez, pero ahora sí. No quiero decir que esto tenga nada de malo, pero a veces se siente más "lento" o que la historia está en "fase de construcción" y, de nuevo, no creo que esto sea algo malo, pero hay personas a las que esto podría hacérseles algo pesado, quizá. De todas formas, si te gustó "Juego de Tronos", este también …

Review of 'A Clash of Kings (Martin, George R. R. Song of Ice and Fire, Bk. 2.)' on 'Goodreads'

This book is excellent. The battle scenes at the climax are so detailed you'd think the author were a medieval knight. The only reason it gets 4 stars is that even a quarter way into the book you were still getting more recapitulation than necessary.

Review of 'A Clash of Kings (Martin, George R. R. Song of Ice and Fire, Bk. 2.)' on 'Goodreads'

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 …

Review of 'A Clash of Kings (Martin, George R. R. Song of Ice and Fire, Bk. 2.)' on 'Goodreads'

Boy, this book twists and turns, as it drives the characters further and further apart. Keeping track of all the characters almost seems a futile effort at times, since they're wont to die pretty quickly, then come back just as quickly, thanks to unreliable narration (which is wielded to great effect).

Review of 'Choque De Reyes' on 'Goodreads'

I think the nerds are right on this one, but why, in this genre, are there so many wise people around. You can get an aphorism from a passing mage, a dwarf or your retarded cousin, and after you blow-off your retarded cousin's comment, the mage will say "he is wiser than you know". I read this on the Kindle, so no maps, but, believe it or not, if you check on the internet there are whole galleries of maps of Westeros.
