This has led Stannis and Renly Baratheon (Robert's brothers) to raise large armies to remove Joffrey from power and install themselves in their place. The claim of Robert's son, Joffrey to the iron throne are contested on allegations of incest between the Queen and her twin brother (which are also true). When A Clash of Kings begins, Ned Stark (the hand of the King) and King Robert Baratheon are dead and the world is plunged into a series of chaotic conflicts because of the power vacuum. In a way, it was refreshing to be able to fully develop the world of Westeros and the rest of the locales in my mind rather than such mental imagery taking the form of the series. In fact, I think the argument could be made that A Clash of Kings improves upon its predecessor, mainly because I knew where Game of Thrones was going having seen the television series. Martin's fantasy series and it is that these books are well-written. Two novels and roughly fourteen hundred pages later, there is one thing that you can say about George R.R. However, I do enjoy well-written imaginative tales. In the previous Literature Society post, I explained that I am not a fan of the fantasy genre.
