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?A question about a song of ice and fire series by George martin. are there two storm of swords books?
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 %26amp; Snow for the first, Blood %26amp; 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.A question about a song of ice and fire series by George martin. are there two storm of swords books?
when i was reading the series, it was two parts, not just a differen view point. there was Storm of swords: Steel and Snow and Storm of Swords 2: Blood and Gold. Its usually listed at the start of the books, but for some strange reason, its not on wikipedia. however, maybe you can get just one book that comprises both parts. Robb isn't really that big of a character to be honest to warrant his own viewpoint i think.
