The downside of having a series with multiple POVs: some of them are very, very, very, very, very, very boring. Furthermore, the pacing was uneven throughout: half of this very long book had gone by before I think something fairly exciting actually happened. Nevertheless, A CLASH OF KINGS is yet another astounding display of George R.R. Martin's unmatched skill at developing a world that is so complex, so full, you're willing to read more than five thousand-page-long books about it. Oh yeah, we CAN do that. Excellent.
