A Clash of Kings

I actually liked this one a lot more than A Game of Thrones... probably at least in part because it never made me so angry that I had to stop reading for several weeks. For the record, what made me angry in A Game of Thrones was Sansa's stupidity, and although she was in way likable to me in this one, at least she didn't make me rage. This one also Arya being the awesomest character in the entire cast, and Tyrion also being pretty cool.

I will that I think the change in point of view hurts in the sense that not all characters' stories are as interesting. Bran's in particular, and although I think Jon Snow is a great character, I wasn't at all invested in his story until his last chapter.
