A question about a song of ice and fire series by George martin. are there two storm of swords books?
so i was reading comments on the series and i am on the book storm of swords and some of the people were talking about how storm of swords is in two books? is this so? why is it not listed with the other book being part of the series then? it says game of thrones, clash, storm of swords, and crows, no mention of two volumes to the storm of swords, is this book just another view point of the first storm of swords? or what?
oh and why do you think he never wrote in Robb Stark prospective? do you think Robb was to busy in battles and martin likes writing drama more then battles or what?
Yes it was split into two books, at least it was here in the UK. This is a rare but not uncommon thing to do when one book is considered too large to print as one (and no doubt the potential profits of two play a part as well). Lord of the Rings was technically six books. Another example is Tad Williams' final part of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy. Each Storm of Swords book was given a sub-title; Steel & Snow for the first, Blood & Gold the second.
As for the Robb Stark perspective, I really don't know. Perhaps Martin thought that he could tell Robb's story more effectively through the other characters, particularly Catelyn. I suppose Robb was, in many ways, a sub-character, and though his role was important it may not have been considered important enough for his own perspective. Except of course for the *SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ STORM OF SWORDS STOP HERE* red wedding, and there was no need to tell that through both his and his mother's eyes. Personally I thought Catelyn's POV was a good choice for it.
