35% into A Clash of Kings and I’m hooked like a Lannister on power. The plots twist, the wine flows, and Tyrion steals every scene (and probably your purse). I’ll finish the whole series in 2 months—unless George drops another surprise death that leaves me rocking in a corner muttering “Hodor.” 📚🔥

At 75%, A Clash of Kings is a storm of war, whispers, and strange visions. Arya becomes the Rambo/Bronson of Westeros with her deadly list, Tyrion plays master strategist in King’s Landing, and Bran and Jon sink deeper into magic and mystery. Dany’s dragons grow, Theon’s blunders multiply. Brutal, sprawling, brilliant—Martin never lets the tension ease.

is 50% done
At halfway, A Clash of Kings is a brutal chessboard of war, whispers, and wonder. Arya grows into the Charles Bronson of Westeros, Tyrion steals scenes with wit sharper than Valyrian steel, and Bran’s wolf-dreams deepen the magic. The scope is massive, the tension relentless—Martin juggles chaos and character with terrifying brilliance. 🐺🦁🐉

I so enjoy your enthusiasm for this book series, Walter! In the video series actor Kristian Nairn elevates "hodor" from one-note comic relief by varying his delivery of the word depending on circumstance, revealing Hodor has a richer interior life than his limited vocabulary might imply. I'm wondering if this aural nuance is somehow captured in the writing of the book series 🧚♀️🙋🏼?

Hi Valerie: Fun fact: I’m actually listening to this book right now. I can definitely hear the difference in his voice, and I’m sure that comes across in the books too—though I haven’t read a single word. It’s a great listen for my commute, hotel stays, and all the in-betweens.
How wonderful, thank you Walter! I may just give this series a listen before ever reading it 🧚♀️🙋🏼!
