A character that I do love in the show but was not necessarily my favourite narrator was Sansa. These character favourites also extend to the show. Perhaps it is Tryion’s wit, Arya’s courage, Daenerys’ struggle to persevere, or even the exciting adventure and possible danger Jon now faces being beyond the wall. While reading A Clash of Kings, I found that I quite enjoyed reading the narratives of Tryion, Arya, Daenerys, and Jon the most. She was no maid, if she could look on the grey’s wall of slaughter, why should she avert her eyes from the sight of men and women giving pleasure to one another.” Daenerys page, 422. The innermost wall was fifty feet of black marble, with carvings that made Dany blush until she told herself that she was being a fool. The middle wall, forty feet high, was grey granite alive with scenes of war: the clash of swords and shields and spears, arrows in flight, heroes at battle, and babes being butchered, pyres of the dead. “The outer wall was red sandstone, thirty feet high, and decorated with animals: snakes slithering, kites flying, fish swimming, intermingled with wolves of the red waste and zorses and monstrous elephants. The way it described the three outer walls of Quarth was stunning, and I don’t believe it was in the show, but I wish it had been. In the book, that scene was painted so colourfully and the details given, it was absolutely beautiful. Granted its been a while since I’ve watched season two. Main plot lines were the same, but there were little details that were changed or didn’t make it into the show that made me think, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.‘or ‘That’s kind of cool.’ Or even, ‘I had no idea that is really how it happened.’ As well as the way some places were described.Įx: When Daenerys reaches Quarth. While there weren’t many changes between book two, and season two of the show, there were just enough little changes to keep my interest and keep reading. However with the second book, A Clash of Kings, I found it to be completely different. Which kind of ruined the appeal of the book. Everything was pretty much spoiled for me. The struggle I had with the first book, was that because I had watched all seasons of the show before hand, there was nothing left for me to discover in the book on my own. Having read the previous book, ‘A Game of Thrones’ a year ago, after watching the entire TV series of the same name, I found this book a breeze to get through.
