A more interesting read than the first book in the series, A Game of Thrones. The dwarf character, Tyrion, is still the same lovable smartass, and the elaborate scheming at court - as people connive and blackmail their way to power while avoiding getting killed by their frenemies - was flat-out fun to follow along with. Happily, other characters actually acquired some depth and seemed less cardboard than they were in the first book. For fast readers looking for a downtime read that isn't over as soon as you get started, it's definitely worth delving into.
