Because I couldn’t wait for April 2012, I bought George R.R. Martin’s second book, A Clash of Kings. Mind you, the paperback wasn’t that expensive at P312. You can even find a good deal buying a set at a price similar to that of a paperless office software. Just in case you’re thinking to gift your friends with one.
I’m currently at page 132. Each chapter was devoted to a certain character who would shape HBO’s sequel to “A Game of Thrones”. The book opened with a comet slashing through the sky, bringing tides of sorrow and fear to the seven kingdoms as their respective leaders and houses try to seize control of the Iron Throne. A background on the three Baratheon brothers – Robert, Stannis and Renly – was provided through Maester Cressen, who acted as their keeper when their father died at sea. Everything else are waiting to unfold. The story was quite unpredictable – you don’t know who would die or live to see the end of things.
