Review title: A thick plot thickens ....
Product review: The hottest new series in fantasy today ..The 2nd book continues in the same dry, sparse writing style which characterised the first. This rapid movement is a pleasant change from the predictable verboseness of inferior fantasy such as Eddings and Jordan. The plot rolls along with speed and precision, and the characters continue to grow and interact with the world in a way which is intriguing and startlingly unpredictable.However I felt this book allowed some of the integral plot threads .. Arya, the trip over the wall .. to dwindle and drag out without fulfilling the promise of the first book. Also this book was so outrageously behind schedule that Martin runs the risk of losing the interest of readers in the waiting time. The series is now expected to be 6 books long incidentally .. its official :o)An engossing story though .. 800 odd pages but not one wasted ..
