A Clash Of Kings Part 2
As I continue on reading my book many more conflicts have occurred. but before I get to those, I realized that I never really explained how the book is styled and the writing style of George R. R. Martin. The book is given from the P.O.V. of many different characters. It is mostly given from the main characters of the book. However in the second book I noticed that the author decided to add a lot of supporting characters who only get a chapter ever 50 pages or so. I really felt that this added to the intensity of the book. For me I really feel that it is the little things that bring the book together. When I first started reading this series I was very interested in the authors writing style. he uses words that were used in the probable time era. since no specific time era was given I had to guess that it is staged around the dark ages. But the writing style is mainly made up of the words he uses, if he had decided to just write it without any interesting words that were used in this era then the whole book would be very boring. One of the phrases that is often used is "break your fast". this types of phrase is often used in the book. Back to on of the new conflicts in the book is that one of the main characters, Tyrion, is appointed to be "The Hand Of The King" when one of his loyal disciples asks him what he plans to do he answer with one word which then ends the chapter. The word was very powerful in the story and it made me think what he meant by it. the word he gave was "Justice." I am still not sure weather or not he means to sabotage king Joffery and help Rob, the king of the north. or do the opposite. I am very excited to see what happens with these character as the book progresses.
