‘Game of Thrones’ season 2 and ‘A Clash of Kings’ comparison, part 3
This is a continuation of ‘Game of Thrones’ season 2 and ‘A Clash of Kings’ comparison, part 1 (Starks) and ‘Game of Thrones’ season 2 and ‘A Clash of Kings’ comparison, part 2 (Lannisters) in which we look at the differences between HBO’s “Game of Thrones” season 2 and the second installment of George R. R. Martin’s fantasy epic “A Clash of Kings” on which the events of the season are based.

My friend and coworker Nick Tankersley has written this pretty awesome piece on the differences between “Game of Thrones” and the book from which season two is adapted, “A Clash of Kings.” Check it out and enjoy. — Richard
With the end of season 2 of “Game of Thrones” just on the horizon, I think it is a good time to double back and take a look at the show’s deviations from George R. R. Martin’s second book “A Clash of Kings,” which is the basis for season 2 of “GoT.”
