I am getting a bit spoiled to the less-hectic pace of the summer semester. Even though I’m taking two classes, the reading load is much less than a normal semester. That said, I’ve given myself some leeway to begin the second book in the Game of Thrones series, A Clash of Kings.

Continuing to build upon the strong character development in the first installment, this book begs to be read until my eyes begin to cross from fatigue. My two favorite characters are still Ayra Stark and Jon Snow, though I’ve taken a liking to the young blacksmith nicknamed “the Bull” and can’t wait to see what transpires as he discovers his true identity. I have a couple of theories, but I will reserve them for later, because I don’t want to give any spoilers.

As for that book review due next month … yeah, I should probably start working on it soon. 😉
