comment
The second book in George R. R. Martin's Doorstopper A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series, released in 1998.Joffrey Baratheon sits on the Iron Throne, but rumors that he is not the king's legitimate heir are spreading throughout the Seven Kingdoms. Everywhere, a king vies for a throne. Robb Stark, called the Young Wolf, battles to secure independence for the North and revenge for his executed father. The Baratheon brothers, Renly and Stannis, each march upon the Iron Throne with a different claim, while on the Iron Islands, Balon Greyjoy prepares a new rebellion, setting his sights on Winterfell. Robert Baratheon's death has set the stage for the War of the Five Kings.While kings march across the Seven Kingdoms and the people of King's Landing grow more and more malcontent, Jon Snow and his sworn brothers of the Night's Watch travel deeper beyond the Wall, searching for the so called King-Beyond-The-Wall. Across the sea, Daenerys Targaryen begins her journey as a khaleesi, having to nurture and protect her dragons from those who would take them...As a result of the war and characters splitting up across Westeros, there are nine POV characters in this novel, with Stannis Baratheon's Maester Cressen narrating the prologue: Tyrion Lannister, the Hand of the King, and Sansa Stark, the king's betrothed and hostage provide insight in Joffrey's decadent court. Catelyn Stark follows Robb Stark's campaign, the war in the Riverlands, and the negotiations between Stannis and Renly. Smuggler-turned-knight Davos Seaworth gives the events on Stannis's side of the battle. Arya Stark, now hiding herself among commoners, shows bits and pieces of the ravages of war and the suffering of the smallfolk. Theon Greyjoy narrates the events in the Iron Islands. Bran Stark narrate the events in Winterfell. Jon Snow shows us what's happening beyond the Wall. And last but not least, Daenerys Targaryen shows us what's going on across the narrow sea.The novel was adapted as the second season of HBO's Game of Thrones.

comment
Prayer of Malice: Before the Battle of Blackwater, Sansa prays in the sept for every soldier on both sides and their families. But when the High Septon starts calling on the gods to protect King Joffrey, she leaves and thinks "Let his sword break and his shield shatter, let his courage fail him and every man desert him."

comment
Hallyne the Pyromancer, an alchemist, tells Tyrion that their increased efficiency at creating wildfire is because their spells are more effective than they have been—they have not, in fact, been so efficacious since the days of the last dragons, hinting at the relationship between dragons and magic in the world. Hallyne also mentions that many of the Alchemists' masters were murdered during the Sack of King's Landing, while much of the wildfire from that time was lost, and that recently they were confounded to find hundreds of jars stored under the Sept of Baelor. Later, he mentions a group of drunks stumbling upon an even larger cache hidden under the Dragonpit. One book later, Jaime reveals the Mad King's plot to burn the city, and that he was responsible for killing several key alchemists to prevent/hide it afterwards.

Unreliable Narrator
 A Clash of Kings / int_1869b4b1
comment
Bran's last chapter has him see a dragon fly over Winterfell as it burns. He was warged into Summer at the time and "The smoke and ash clouded his eyes" just before he sees it, and it disappears right afterward, and Bran-as-Summer does occasionally use odd turns of phrase (such as describing a chain as a "metal snake") so Unreliable Narration is possible, but the reader is never given any reason to believe that Bran's wolf dreams are anything other than the objective events experienced by Summer. So was the dragon real, a flowery way to describe the flames or the red comet, or something else? Perhaps a combination green dream and wolf dream? It hasn't been addressed. It also may or may not be connected to his later observation that the Old Keep had a massive section blown apart from the inside, which is similarly never explained.

Hillbilly Incest: Craster is the Medieval European Fantasy version of a hillbilly. He's the bastard son of a member of the Night's Watch and a Wildling woman, but he's part of neither Westerosi nor Wildling society. He lives in an isolated, rundown shack in the middle of the forest with his Big, Screwed-Up Family. He has 19 "wives" because for generations he has been marrying his daughters, siring more children on them, and keeping the daughters and leaving his sons to die of exposure or be taken by ice zombies.

Diabolus ex Machina Renly's death by Stannis' shadow results in most of Renly's forces going over to Stannis' side, enabling him to go from an underdog to the greatest threat to King's Landing. Ramsay Bolton turns up at the end of the book and destroys Winterfell with an army he's managed to recruit from the Dreadfort. The Lannister/Tyrell alliance routs Stannis' army.

 A Clash of Kings / int_23ff95fb
comment
Case in point: Renly wants power as king. Stannis seems to see it more as his duty as Robert's heir, though Renly acknowledges that Stannis may well have a better claim but he (Renly) has the larger army and was more the aggressor in the situation. It turns out to be a Cain and Cain situation however, as Renly is assassinated before his vastly superior army can crush Stannis' own. It's never quite clear whether Stannis knew about this. He says he didn't, and that's usually enough, but it's not 100% certain. However, he does show he is upset over Renly's death and did try to make terms with Renly.

Lame Rhyme Dodge: When Arya Stark gets into a fight while travelling undercover with recruits for the Night's Watch, she loses her head in the heat of battle and screams "Winterfell!", the name of her home castle, as a battle cry. When another boy mentions this to her friend Gendry, he claims all she was "Go to Hell!" and later warns Arya to say the same thing if asked.

An exasperated Tyrion insists he won't let Cersei go through with it.

Lampshade Hanging
 A Clash of Kings / int_2a090d00
comment
Lampshade Hanging: One sometimes criticized plot point is Theon successfully managing to take Winterfell with just a tiny handful of men (about 20), only because Rodrik took virtually every man in the castle to deal with Theon's ruse. As the fall of Winterfell is necessary for the sudden change of luck for the Starks that results in multiple plotlines over the next two books, it can be viewed a somewhat contrived Idiot Ball. Maester Luwin essentially says to Bran, "Boy, it sure was foolish of us to send every soldier we had to deal with the threat at Torrhen's Square, wasn't it?"

War Is Glorious: The (apparent) mindset of Roose Bolton. After Stannis' loss at the Blackwater, when it seems the Lannisters are clearly winning the war, his lieutenants ask him whether they should change sides. He more or less remarks that he'd rather that the war lasts as long as possible, since he likes the current situation more than the peace that preceded. This turns out to be Obfuscating Stupidity on his behalf, he just wants to further bleed the Northern army before backstabbing Robb

Honor Before Reason: Both times costing victory in battle.

Always Chaotic Evil
 A Clash of Kings / int_4832a3bb
comment
Robb sending Theon back to his homeland to propose an alliance with his father. Said father comes from an Always Chaotic Evil culture, tried to rebel and attack the rest of Westeros just ten or so years prior, and personally hates the Starks. Theon was specifically a hostage to ensure his good behavior, so sending him back to his father removes their leverage. Ironically, said father was planning on attacking the North anyway (and had accepted Theon being executed in retribution as acceptable cost), but keeping him close by as the hostage he's supposed to be would have resulted in Winterfell never falling, and likely Robb never losing the war from a lot of the consequences.

While prisoner in the Riverlands, Arya hears an old man lamenting that none of this mess would have happened during the old king's reign. Arya thinks he was referring to King Robert, but the old man meant King Aerys. What is even more ironic is that the earlier stages of Aerys' reign were relatively peaceful due to Tywin Lannister's administration, and Tywin Lannister is now the one who is making the Riverlands bleed.

Seems to be a Bolton standard.

Tyrion also admits that court fool Moonboy's ditty about the High Septon (notorious for being corrupt and a Fat Bastard) being a man who worships the Seven so fervently he eats a meal for each of them every day is pretty funny.

Nightmare Sequence: Theon has a huge one where he dreams of a feast in Winterfell where the hosts are all dead people who used to be in the household (Jory Cassel, Fat Tom), people he himself killed (Farlen, Osha's companion), or long-dead Starks (Lyanna, Brandon, their father and even previous generations). When Robb and Grey Wind join them, he wakes up screaming.

Wasteful Wishing: Arya wastes the chance to kill anyone on petty tormentors instead of enemy commanders. Interestingly, she does consider killing Lannister commanders at first, but decides against it when she remembers her father telling Robb and Jon than a man should kill his true enemies face to face, without using deception or intermediaries.

comment
Idiot Ball: How pretty much everyone sees Stannis and Renly's petty fight for their claim to the throne. And with good reasons, since it weakens both claims in favour of Joffrey's. Catelyn notice this and express her mind: Cersei also makes a consideration: Robb sending Theon back to his homeland to propose an alliance with his father. Said father comes from an Always Chaotic Evil culture, tried to rebel and attack the rest of Westeros just ten or so years prior, and personally hates the Starks. Theon was specifically a hostage to ensure his good behavior, so sending him back to his father removes their leverage. Ironically, said father was planning on attacking the North anyway (and had accepted Theon being executed in retribution as acceptable cost), but keeping him close by as the hostage he's supposed to be would have resulted in Winterfell never falling, and likely Robb never losing the war from a lot of the consequences. Ser Rodrik taking virtually every fighting man with him to defeat the Ironborn at Torrhen's Square leaves Winterfell completely undefended, which results in Theon's tiny force taking it over. When attempting to retake it, he allows an unknown military officer (Ramsay Snow) to approach him with a drawn blade and cut off his arm while pretending to shake his hand.

Wishing for More Wishes: Less a "wish" in the magical sense and more of a "boon." Assassin Jaqen H'ghar is honor-bound to kill any three people Arya Stark names. When Arya asks him to help her free some prisoners, which would require killing many more than the one name she has left, Jaqen tells her that this was not the deal and asks her for the third name. She gives him his own name and orders him to kill himself, and he agrees to help her if she will rescind the request.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 A Clash of Kings / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse? Tyrek Lannister disappears during the riot in King's Landing and he's never seen again. Jaime makes out some interesting theories about him in A Feast for Crows. Sansa's friend Jeyne Poole is noted to have disappeared only later to be found forced into prostitution. Bran's last chapter has him see a dragon fly over Winterfell as it burns. He was warged into Summer at the time and "The smoke and ash clouded his eyes" just before he sees it, and it disappears right afterward, and Bran-as-Summer does occasionally use odd turns of phrase (such as describing a chain as a "metal snake") so Unreliable Narration is possible, but the reader is never given any reason to believe that Bran's wolf dreams are anything other than the objective events experienced by Summer. So was the dragon real, a flowery way to describe the flames or the red comet, or something else? Perhaps a combination green dream and wolf dream? It hasn't been addressed. It also may or may not be connected to his later observation that the Old Keep had a massive section blown apart from the inside, which is similarly never explained. After being insulted and dismissed from the Kingsguard, Barristan Selmy is mentioned to have vanished after killing several gold cloaks who tried to arrest him on Joffrey's orders, declaring his intention to find and serve the rightful king. Nearly all the rival claimants to the Iron Throne assume Selmy is referring to them, but he never shows up at their camp. The next book reveals that he's gone to serve Daenerys with the intention of helping restore House Targaryen to the throne.

comment
Least Is First: During the Battle of the Blackwater, the besieged forces draw back inside the defenses fearing that their own side has set the battlefield ablaze with wildfire, (a magically enhanced, virtually undousable flame). This lets the forces attacking them get right up to the gates and start trying to batter them down. The soldiers, even the Blood Knight leading them, (who, by the way, got half his face burned off as a kid) refuse to go back and fight. At this point, Tyrion, who has Dwarfism, rides up and tries to get the soldiers to go back into the fight. They refuse. Tyrion then goes to lead the attack himself, shouting at the tough guy soldiers "They say I'm half a man. What does that make the lot of you?" True to form, that shames enough of them into fighting that they make a difference in the tide of battle.

While he does curtail some of his influence, Littlefinger manages to come out on top when he takes an opportunity to treat with the Tyrells, an idea of Tyrion's, and parlays that into reaping rich rewards after Tywin enters the city.

Foreshadowing: Hallyne the Pyromancer, an alchemist, tells Tyrion that their increased efficiency at creating wildfire is because their spells are more effective than they have been—they have not, in fact, been so efficacious since the days of the last dragons, hinting at the relationship between dragons and magic in the world. Hallyne also mentions that many of the Alchemists' masters were murdered during the Sack of King's Landing, while much of the wildfire from that time was lost, and that recently they were confounded to find hundreds of jars stored under the Sept of Baelor. Later, he mentions a group of drunks stumbling upon an even larger cache hidden under the Dragonpit. One book later, Jaime reveals the Mad King's plot to burn the city, and that he was responsible for killing several key alchemists to prevent/hide it afterwards. Theon sees a rickety bridge on his return to Pyke that he can't believe he used to play on as a child. His father Balon falls off this bridge in the next book. Also Theon dreams the feast in Winterfell for King Robert turning into a gruesome butchery, with the hosts being dead people. Theon wakes up panicking as he sees Robb joining them. Daenerys sees a vision about her father Aerys, completely gone mad, who is ranting Let him [Robert] be king over charred bones and cooked meat. In A Storm of Swords, Jaime tells us he was planning to burn the city with wildfire, and that's why Jaime killed him. She also sees the Red Wedding, and possibly Quentyn Martell. The story of Bael the Bard foretells Bran & Rickon's survival by hiding in the Stark crypt.

Rule of Three: Jaqen's life debt to Arya plays out as a "wasting the first two of your three wishes" plot familiar to lots of genie stories. Jaqen promises her he will take three lives in exchange for saving him along with two other prisoners. Arya uses the first two names to have cruel men killed, but they are unimportant in the grand scheme of things or even Harrenhal itself. The third name turns out to be Jaqen H'ghar himself, forcing him to help her liberate the Northeners imprisoned in Harrenhal so that she would take back the name. Even the third "wish" turns out to be wasted, since the Bloody Mummers have already decided to betray the castle to Roose Bolton and brought the Northmen with them specifically to aid in taking it. Each of Daenerys' visions in the House of the Undying.

Dramatic Irony: When Arya, in the guise of Nan, Roose Bolton's cupbearer, wished that the princess to whom Elmar Frey had been betrothed would die, neither she nor Elmar were aware that she herself was the princess in question.

Near-Rape Experience: During the Battle of the Blackwater, after running away from the flames, Sandor Clegane slipped into Sansa's room and waited for her. He did indeed intend to rape her, but stopped himself and ended up taking nothing more than a song. Sansa misremembers sharing a kiss with him in the next book.

Did Not Think This Through: Theon takes a castle with a tiny number of men through a cunning ruse. Looting the place and taking hostages would have been a great coup, but instead he tries to hold it with a few raiders. Later on, when Theon finds two of his men torn to pieces by Summer and Shaggydog during Bran and Rickon's escape from Winterfell, he realises too late what a bad idea it was to let two gargantuan wolves that are ferociously devoted to the Stark boys and that he knows firsthand are more than capable of killing grown men roam around. Tyrion passes on words from Tywin to this effect regarding Joffrey and Cersei kicking Barristan Selmy out of the Kingsguard, pointing out that if Selmy, who is a beloved figure in the eyes of the common folk, gives his backing to one of the rebel factions after being so spectacularly insulted by the Lannisters, it will give the rebels greater credibility in the eyes of the commoners. In the same conversation, Cersei comments that Janos Slynt only took two gold cloaks with him to carry out Joffrey's command to arrest Barristan Selmy and didn't consider that Selmy, a knight with decades more combat experience than Slynt or his thugs and nothing left to lose, would choose to fight rather than come quietly.

It's All About Me
 A Clash of Kings / int_bb18a227
comment
It's All About Me: Stannis and Renly. When both Baratheon brothers attempt to claim the throne back from the Lannisters, they decide to attack each other rather than their common enemy. Catelyn notes that "somewhere, Cersei was laughing." In fact, when Tyrion informs Cersei, she's so happy that she dances with him. More notably with Renly, who quite simply wants the Iron Throne for himself and was willing to kill his brother for it. Stannis' motivations are left unexplored until A Storm of Swords, when he confides in Davos that he feels he has a duty to Robert and the Kingdom to claim the throne himself as Robert's true heir, rather than let a false king (whether Joffrey or his brother) sit the throne just because they can.

Both Sides Have a Point: Invoked by Davos in his internal monologue before the battle. He had suggested to fleet commander Ser Imry that the fleet proceed carefully down the river, sending a few ships ahead to test and scout whatever defenses the city had managed to erect rather than just relying on what they learned from captive fishermen.note  Which might have prevented them from being trapped behind the chain Imry dismissed him largely because of his low birth, but Davos also recognizes that since the fleet had experienced some weather-related delays and lost a few ships on the way, Imry would do well not to keep the notoriously impatient Stannis waiting any longer than he has to.

comment
Irony: Jon is surprised to note that while the experienced members of the Great Ranging are slowly getting more and more unnerved on the trek, self-professed coward Samwell is actually getting braver. In her first chapter Sansa thinks of Bran and that she'd give everything to be with him in Winterfell. In this case she's actually lucky, since Theon betrays Robb, Winterfell ends up in the firing line of the Ironborn invasion and Theon states he could have forced Sansa to marry him to strengthen his claim of Winterfell, and regrets not having her around. While prisoner in the Riverlands, Arya hears an old man lamenting that none of this mess would have happened during the old king's reign. Arya thinks he was referring to King Robert, but the old man meant King Aerys. What is even more ironic is that the earlier stages of Aerys' reign were relatively peaceful due to Tywin Lannister's administration, and Tywin Lannister is now the one who is making the Riverlands bleed. Also most conversations between Arya and Elmar Frey at Harrenhal. Elmar brags about his betrothal to a “princess,� and then is upset when Robb’s marriage causes the Freys to end that betrothal. Meanwhile, Arya thinks Elmar is an idiot, and tells him, “I hope your princess dies.� Elmar does not know that the girl serving him is in fact Arya, while Arya doesn’t know she’s been betrothed to anyone.

Cassandra Truth: When traveling northward with Yoren and the Night's Watch recruits, Arya alone doesn't want to spend the night in an abandoned village because she rightly guesses that the villagers fled for a reason. Everyone dismisses her as craven, then Lannister's knights come to raid the village and attack and kill most of their party, including Yoren; While recouping with other surviving recruits, Arya insists on scoping out a village alone because she's quieter than the others and less likely to get caught if there are more brutal knights there. Gendry "the Bull" insists on following her, and sure enough, he gets caught. Hot Pie then insists on accompanying Arya to rescue Gendry, and then he's promptly caught and gives Arya's position away, leaving them all at the mercy of Gregor's men; Catelyn tells Robb that sending Theon to the Iron Islands is a bad idea. Robb does not listen, with disastrous results. No one believes Old Nan's stories, but she correctly guesses the red comet means the return of dragons. Stannis tells Catelyn that he brought his suspicions Joffrey and his siblings were illegitimate to Jon Arryn specifically to avoid this; Robert would have dismissed such accusations coming from Stannis as an attempt to advance himself up the line of succession, but he would be more inclined to trust the word of his old mentor and Parental Substitute Jon.

This reveal, and Cersei's holding of and threat to harm Alayaya, and Tyrion's own threat to harm Tommen if anything happens to her despite not meaning it, is what pushes their relation beyong the point of no return and truly make Tyrion Cersei's enemy.

The next book reveals that he's gone to serve Daenerys with the intention of helping restore House Targaryen to the throne.

Cruel Mercy: Played with. Sansa, not wanting Joffrey to have Ser Dontos murdered for showing up drunk and half-naked to his nameday joust, plants the idea that it would be crueler to strip him of his knighthood and for him to live as a fool rather than having him executed. While it appeals to Joffrey's sadism (aided by some quick BS about it being unlucky to kill somsone on your nameday), Dontos himself is very grateful to be spared.

Cain and Abel: Stannis and his younger brother Renly. The series' Gray-and-Grey Morality being what it is, though, it's impossible to tell who is the "good" and the "evil" one. They both had every intention of killing each other: Renly talking to his men about what to do with Stannis' body and Stannis actually killing Renly. Case in point: Renly wants power as king. Stannis seems to see it more as his duty as Robert's heir, though Renly acknowledges that Stannis may well have a better claim but he (Renly) has the larger army and was more the aggressor in the situation. It turns out to be a Cain and Cain situation however, as Renly is assassinated before his vastly superior army can crush Stannis' own. It's never quite clear whether Stannis knew about this. He says he didn't, and that's usually enough, but it's not 100% certain. However, he does show he is upset over Renly's death and did try to make terms with Renly.

0% Approval Rating: Tyrion is shocked to learn that even though none of the smallfolk of King's Landing like the Lannisters, they hate him most of all. All the problems with the city are mostly due to Cersei and Joffrey, but Tyrion is the face of the new status quo due to the timing of his arrival (which makes him appear to be more of an Evil Chancellor than Cersei, who was present during better times under Robert), his poor treatment of Janos Slynt and Pycelle (who appear to be good and earnest men to anyone outside the Red Keep), and his entourage of violent mountain clansmen.

Early-Bird Cameo: The Bastard of Bolton is mentioned for the first time on ''very'' unflattering terms. There will be seen wonders from him in A Dance with Dragons.

Being Evil Sucks: Theon starts feeling this as he has no choice but to kill people he grew up with during his time in the North.

War Is Hell: Daenerys has a vision in the House of the Undying of a woman being gang raped by four dwarfs. It's a metaphor for what the war over the throne is doing to Westeros.

Powder Keg Crowd: During the starvation, the hungry, poor people of King's Landing after King Joffrey deliberately provokes them by telling the Hound to kill anyone that gets between him and someone who threw shit at Joffrey.

Feed the Mole
 A Clash of Kings / int_fe8a1029
comment
Feed the Mole: Tyrion shares his plans with three people he suspects are in the employ of Cersei. However, he told each person something different, and when Cersei confronts him, her response inadvertently reveals the source of the leak. Tyrion takes similar action several times throughout the book, since in King's Landing there are probably an infinite number of moles to be fed.

Fauxshadow: Sansa notes that her period has stained her bedsheets "Lannister crimson, as if her body was raising their banner". This suggests that as late as this point, Martin was still considering following his original plan to have her eventually side with the Lannisters against her family.
