They reach the Nightfort, a source of fearsome tales. Meera goes to the top to look around. No way to make it over the Wall to the haunted forest. There‘s a gate, but it‘s blocked by snow &ice
Once Nightfort was ruled by the Night‘s King who bound his Brothers through sorcery &made sacrifices to the Others
Bran hears footfalls. But it‘s not the Rat Cook it is Sam& Gilly. Sam knows he is Jon‘s brother. Sam talks to the weirwood &opens the gate

Bklover I was so relieved when Bran found Sam and Gilly. At least they are kind people! 6h
5feet.of.fury @Bklover glad the found eachother! some good news for once! 5h
BethM @Bklover @5feet.of.fury agreed! I thought this chapter was really immersive 3h

Wildlings are coming for Castle Black. Jon is still injured. He wonders where Ghost is. &Ygritte even though he tries not to think of her. The wildings come at night, the night‘s watch pick them off with arrows, but the wildlings start setting everything ablaze. They battle &burn the barricade trapping the wildlings. The Wall defended, Jon goes to look for Ygritte..

Stannis hears of the Red Wedding, but he is not impressed with the Freys. Queen Selyse &Melisandre preach that killing Edric Storm will raise dragons for Stannis. She implies her ritual killed 2 kings, Davos says if the 3rd dies he will be convinced &Stannis sees his logic
Davos has been learning to read & Pylos gives him an old letter from the Nightwatch about the wildlings coming south, asking for help; he is troubled by the implications

Roary47 I‘m just impressed that news is traveling faster this time. It normally takes forever to get news to our other POVs. The names in Davos‘ POV I‘m having trouble remembering the most. 3d
5feet.of.fury @Roary47 there was one person he was talking to to that I was like “ok, thanks, whoever you are” 😅 but happy to help with any of the others 😂 3d

BooksNBowls Why does no one care about the wildings?! 2d
5feet.of.fury @BooksNBowls it seems so far away so it must be someone else‘s problem. Unfortunately not much different from how we (society/the US/the average person in the West) react to global events. 2d
BethM @5feet.of.fury I think you nailed it. 2d
BooksNBowls @5feet.of.fury great point! 2d
Bklover This was one of those chapters where I kept thinking “I hope this part isn‘t too important because I am having a hard time with this.” Too many names that I know but can‘t place. 2d

Lannisters get news from the Twins “captured a fat fish & 2 wolf pelts”. River men are lost now.The Mountain is sent to deal with Harrenhal
Joff wants to torment Sansa with another Stark head, Tyrion stops it
Joff insults Tywin, he &Cersei are dismissed. Tywin was involved with the Frey‘s plot &has more deceptions for the Oberyn. He‘s also promised Arya Stark to Roose Bolton‘s Bastard somehow the North will fall to Tyrion &Sansa‘s hypothetical son

BooksNBowls I‘m glad Tywin put Joff in his place finally. Someone needed to. I fear this news may push Sansa over the edge though.. I enjoyed the little history lesson, but I must say all these names are confusing me. I‘m glad I have the show characters as a reference because otherwise I‘d probably be even more lost by now. 3d
5feet.of.fury @BooksNBowls There was something in Tywins speech about Renly appearing at Blackwater, I think implying that Tywin had a hand in that too. These effin Lannisters (not you Tyrion) 3d

Roary47 I‘m glad I‘m not alone with all the name @BooksNBowls I thought the same thing about the Lannisters @5feet.of.fury Tyrion is their only good one in that group. I think the only thing saving Joff is he is the only heir old enough to defend himself right now. @Bklover Tywin might off him if there was someone else. Poor Sansa 😢 3d

Arya is excited that the castle is open, but the Hound senses the danger. The tents are burning, Arya knows it‘s a battle. They are attacked & the Hound saves her, tells her that her brother is dead. She runs from him&he follows. His axe takes her in the back of the head.

Roslin &Edmure are wedded. Edmure seems pleased. The food is abysmal but the drinks are flowing at the feast. Grey Wind was not allowed in the hall. Roslin is scared as the hall calls for their bedding. Robb doesn‘t go to watch &Cat thinks of the implications. When snubbed by Edwyn Frey, she realized he‘s wearing chainmail &slaps him-

5feet.of.fury -Robb goes to them & is struck down by an arrow… the musicians are armed. Frey men come with long axes, Cat pleads for mercy. She takes a hostage &kills Jinglebell as Robb is killed. She cries out for her lost children as a sword is put to her throat… 6d

The Hound has a plan to get in front of Robb. Bringing pickled pigs feet to the feast. Arya worries over Roose Bolton being in attendance, if he knows what she did to escape Harrenhal. They are denied entry to the castle, but are taken to the tents. She looks for allies. But the Hound isn‘t deterred.

Robb finds from Lord Bolton that Ramsay has Theon hostage. Robb gives him command of the rear guard

Wounded & exhausted, Jon imagines all the friends he‘ll see when he reaches the Wall.
When he gets there to warn the wildlings are coming to the gate, hardly anyone is there to defend &no Ghost. He hears of Mormont‘s murder, the Maester tends to his wounds. He tells them about Mance‘s search for Horn of Winter &about Ygritte. Grenn tells him about Sam the Slayer. They tell him Winterfell is gone, Bran& Rickon dead. …but he saw the Direwolf.

Without the sun Arya can‘t tell which way they travel. She fears the Hound is taking her to KingsLanding. They reach a river &need to be ferried across, the Ferrymen won‘t take an IOU from Beric. Arya has tried to escape/kill the Hound but he‘s thwarted her. Arya tells the Hound how she was captured by his brother. The Hound tells her how he saved Sansa. He‘s taking her to the Twins for the ransom, maybe they‘ll make it in time for the wedding.

Robb has left his wife behind &they head to the wedding with hope that if Edmure &Roslin are wed happily Frey would be appeased.
Robb &Jeyne have been trying to conceive, he needs an heir for Winterfell, currently it would pass to Sansa &Tyrion. Cat tells him to name an heir; a Vale lordling. Robb says it will be Jon. She gives many excuses against it, only 1 good 1.

They take a hidden pathway to the tower. Discuss getting to the Wall -going to Castle Black would be too risky
A rider comes &stays in the ruin of the inn. As the storm comes, other riders arrive. They don‘t have any way to secure the tower. Hodor becomes upset. Bran reaches into his mind the way he does to Summer.

Tyrion is looking to rebuild the Gate &city damaged in battle. Everyone knows he has not bed Sansa &they find it a source of amusement. Sansa is miserable. Tyrion confronts the singer, tries to send him away, gets blackmailed. He is called before Tywin to see the Valyrian Steele sword being gifted to Joff… & 1 for Jaime. They bicker. Tyrells have refused to marry Cersei to Willas. Tywin is trying to place Slynt as commander of Nights Watch

Jaime‘s hand is cut off &on a cord around his neck. Jaime makes an effort to steal a sword, brandishing it with his left hand, hoping the captors killed him. Brienne talks him through his misery, he decides he‘s more than a sword hand. Brienne isn‘t raped bc Jaime has convinced Vargo Hoat she‘s worth a bag of sapphires. Brienne pleads at Harrenhal, but she‘s missed a lot while they were in the woods. But they are released & injuries seen to

BethM I was really into this chapter and wanted more. I hated how Jamie ended in the show and am hoping for a different track here. 4w

They reach the Wall &Jon considers his fate, will he abandon Ygritte, his duty? he wishes they could go back to the cave. The wildlings begin to scale the Wall, as the men ascend a chunk of the Wall breaks off, sending them falling but a second team makes it &drops the ladders for the rest. Jon comforts Ygritte who seems to be shaken from the climb, but she says she‘s upset they never found the Horn of Joramun to bring this cold thing down

Arya is once again bathed &dressed. A whore claims to be Robert‘s daughter, Arya notices her hair does look like his &so does Gendry‘s, a lot of people have black hair. The men bring in another captive boasting about Lannister gold, Arya finds her prayer answered…

Dany goes to buy all the Unsullied including the trainees. The negotiations are shrewd &Dany has to sell Drogon in the deal. Her dreams haunt her. The exchange is made the next day, but the slavers can‘t get Drogon to obey. With her order “dracarys” Drogon breathe fire on the masters, the Unsullied defend Dany & attack the masters& soldiers.

Jon has to leave Ghost behind to go over the Wall, instructs the direwolf to go to Castle Black, hoping he understands. Jon &Ygritte have been sharing a bed, he tells himself it‘s just so she thinks he‘s forsaken his vows, but it‘s starting to not feel that way. Still under scrutiny by some wildlings he is asked about patrols at the Wall, then goes to find Ygritte in a cave. She flaunts her experience but they learn a few things together.

Bran, Jojen, Meera &Hodor travel through mountains, staying away from the roads. The Kingsroad is dangerous to all now that there‘s no Stark at Winterfell. Meera tells a story of The Knight of the Laughing Tree as they walk, a crannogman turned into a knight by the green men at The Isle of Faces defeats his bullies in a tourney & disappears (the tourney was won by the dragonknight).
Bran thinks he could go to Isle of Faces &be turned into a knight

Dany pretends not to understand High Valerian to catch the slaver unaware, but he tells of the atrocities done to the Unsullied freely. Drugged, sterilized, named after vermin, forced to kill infants. Artan advises it goes against the gods. Back at the ship, she wrestles her thoughts, Jorah advises: what he saw after battles is as bad as what Unsullied were commanded to do. But she knows that to follow in Rhaegar‘s legacy, she must lead free men

Bklover This chapter was hard to read. What they do to the unsullied is horrific. Killing babies and puppies, torturing them to make them strong- this was awful! Smart Dany for pretending not to speak the language. 1mo

Tion Frey &Willem Lannister, boys still squires, were killed in Karstark‘s need for vengeance. Cat is appalled by what her own actions set into motion. Robb orders the conspirators hanged, even the dead ones. Karstark‘s men are gone, after the bounty for Jaime. &killing Karstark will make Robb more enemies, but Robb beheads him himself. Jeyne comes to Cat because she doesn‘t know how to help Robb &reveals they have been trying to make an heir.

Bklover I don‘t know, there‘s just something about Cat - she just seems so inept. Ned was honorable, so Cat seems honorable, but I‘m not sure she‘s all that authentic. Oh boy I am not saying this well but I like her less and less as time goes by. 1mo
5feet.of.fury @Bklover yes- I have been very concerned about her decision making skills right along, she has the gift of maturity &knowledge that many of the other characters do not & she still just makes the worst shortsighted choices. I try to allow for the fact that the whole series so far has been 1 tragedy after another for her…. But… it‘s really bad. I don‘t think she‘s without honor but… she doesn‘t have the same cornerstones & strength as Ned did. 1mo

BooksNBowls @5feet.of.fury I think her family was her strength and she thinks they‘re all gone now.. it‘s sad but she wasn‘t a likeable character for me since the beginning. She‘s just completely ruled by emotion. 1mo
Roary47 Yes, definitely ruled by emotion like @BooksNBowls said. If I thought I lost my kids I‘m not sure I would have it all together either. My mom lost my dad 6 years back and I see a lot of Cat in how my mom can‘t seem to function in normal tasks. I‘m just glad she was kind to Robb wife. @Bklover @5feet.of.fury 1mo
5feet.of.fury @BooksNBowls @Roary47 totally valid, she has faced alot of tragedy. Right along her decision making has been wild& mosts thing she‘s done has left her family in a worse situation too. Asked Ned to intervene because Lysa suspected her husband was killed by Lannisters, left Winterfell to sneak into Kings Landing, kidnapped Tyrion, staying with Robb instead of going back to Winterfell, let Jaime go leaving Robb in the WORST position.. ugh 1mo

5feet.of.fury @Roary47 I‘m sorry about your dad ❤️ my mom died when I was young and my dad was pretty checked out & it took me a couple decades before I was like “ohhh you were depressed” I agree grief can definitely have a lasting effect, especially if you are used to having help and now have to figure it all out 1mo

Tormund asks why Jon refuses Ygritte‘s quite obvious flirtations. In his head, he recalls the vow, but he says he‘s too young to wed, he doesn‘t want to dishonor her or have a bastard child. The free folk don‘t care. He thinks of what he might have to do as the free folk approach the Wall. Jon is called by Mance to The Fist. The camp was attacked, the Watch dead or fled. Mance knows there were more crows than Jon said,but Ygritte sticks up for him

Robb returns. Karstark says Cat has cost him his vengeance. She tells him that Jaime‘s death would not bring back his sons, whereas his freedom may bring back Cat‘s girls. Robb has forgiven her, he understands follies done for love
Robb has taken a wife Jeyne of the Crag (former ally of the Lannisters). Backed into a corner, she welcomes his wife (&queen). Later, she scolds Robb for breaking his oath to the Freys.
