A Clash of Kings - George R.R. Martin

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first book. Maybe I didn't read it fast enough but I was much less attached to the characters and much less invested in their lives (and partly that I was over invested in Season 1 of Veronica Mars). I have gotten more used to his writing style though and that has made me more comfortable with these books. I look forward to reading further in the series.
