the series continues with new characters coming to the front. the beauty of these books is that upon reading them, you never get confused on who the narrator is for the chapter. they are such distinct characters. the Lannisters rule and fight against the Starks. the King continues to be a prat. Sansa starts to develop a bit of a brain(I couldn't stand her in the first book, but I have problems with girly characters). Arya has to give up her charade and she starts to learn about power(thru Jaqen)
