Review title: The saga continued
Product review: Don't buy this book if you're looking for a self-contained story, because you will be disappointed. If, however, you're looking to read a marvelously intricate, well-characterized yarn that breaks the mold of contemporary fantasy, then buy the first volume, "A Game of Thrones," and then come back and buy "A Clash of Kings." Follow that up with "A Storm of Swords," and you're halfway through George R. R. Martin's epic masterwork.Martin presents a compellingly realistic world, true to its medieval flavor. It is dark without being gritty, and despite the labyrinthine plot, it never feels unbalanced. This volume has greater depth than its predecessor, a state of affairs that I doubt will change as the series progresses.
