Because of this, I find myself putting it aside for a little while and then coming back to it. While reading A Clash of Kings , there were a lot of things that made think of other books or movies. One example is when Tyrion, Joffrey, Sansa, Tommen, and Cersei saw Myrcella off. They are on their way back to the castle, and the poor people are rioting and throwing rotten food at them. It...
