BarkingMadRead Seems legit 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead I remember the GoT references in FairyTale & I was like “I wonder if they are friends” and I found an interview together where GRRM asked King how he can write so fast. …And I think about it a lot haha. 2w
Karkar I kind really wish this was a thing. 2w

Ser Kevan meets with the council, absent are Cersei, Margaery &Tommen. Ronnet Connington is there disavowing Jon Connington, the Golden Company & “the Targaryen pretender”. Kevan remembers that the boy presented to Tywin was unrecognizable.
They downplay Dany, calling her “queen of Slaver‘s Bay”
They ponder Cersei‘s champion, Ser Robert Strong, the silent giant
Later he goes to Pycelle, but is attacked with a cross bow. For the good of the realm…

majkia I'd forgotten how different this ends from where we were in the HBO series. Sigh. Will we ever get the rest of the story.... Thanks for the group read! 3mo
5feet.of.fury @majkia this was quite the ending, so tough knowing the rest of it is up in the air! So many cliffhangers & so many storylines that seemingly dropped off… 3mo

BethM @majkia I think after he dies. Someone like Sanderson will go get the manuscripts and finish it for us 😂 3mo
Sargar114 Thank you @5feet.of.fury! This was the only book I finished this month, I will say the re-read hasn‘t really done it justice. But I really enjoyed diving back into Westeros 3mo
Roary47 This has been my first read though of the series. Thank you for putting this together. It‘s been lovely reading with all of you. Hopefully, see you in the prequel and when the next one gets finished. 😅 3mo
5feet.of.fury @Sargar114 @Roary47 thank you for reading along for a whole YEAR 😱 we all deserve to pat ourselves on the back. 🐉 3mo
Bklover Thank you so much for guiding us through this! Sometimes I‘m behind, a few times I‘m ahead, but only because of you did I hang in there! (FYI I‘m currently behind). You are the best!! 3mo
5feet.of.fury @Bklover ❤️ thank you! 3mo

Dany has been with Drogon on her own personal Dragonstone. She knows she must return to Meereen & Hizdahr. Her dragon is reluctant to return, so she starts the journey on foot.
The foraging makes her ill. Her moon blood starts, but seems different. She think of her friends &enemies &hears their voices. When she can go no further she calls for Drogon. They feast.
Khal Jhaqo finds them.

BethM I‘m not sure what to say or how I feel about this “ending” for her. 3mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM he left it in a really odd place. She did say “to go forward I must go back” & now she‘s faced with the man that took Drogo‘s title/riders so EXTREMELY back to the beginning… but after that many pages it‘s not what I wanted 😂 no big resolution, not on the road to Westeros. He claims the last 2 books were splint to resolve more story arcs… but did he? 3mo

BethM @5feet.of.fury no I don‘t think he did. I think he got lost and wandered too far from the plot and no editor had the balls to call him on it. 3mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM Theon is the only character I think truly had an arc 3mo
BethM @5feet.of.fury I agree 3mo

Barristan is acting as Hand &leading the council. The Sons of the Harpy have resumed their killings
Belwas has recovered
Quentyn‘s accomplices are imprisoned. Some would send them to fighting pits but that might attract the dragons. Barristan will give them a ship to return home if they arrange the Tattered Prince (in exchange for Pentos) to help the hostages
The Yunkai‘i declare war & use trebuchets to launch corpses into Meereen.

5feet.of.fury Jon sends people to help Hardhome. Queen Selyse objects. As does Melisandre.
Ghost is locked away due to the skinchanger‘s boar, highly agitated
He‘s run out of people to give him counsel who don‘t have an agenda.
They move Cregan Karstark from his cell, the dead men have stayed dead.
3mo
5feet.of.fury He gets a letter from Ramsay Bolton, saying: Stannis is dead, he knows about the king-beyond-the-wall, he wants his bride & his Reek. Jon fears the letter is true. He decides to ride south, knowing that it‘s treason, but he finds support of many.
Wun Wun has killed a knight, Melisandre‘s prophecy unfolds. He calls for Ghost -still locked away - &feels the Cold.

majkia I well remember how shocked I was when I first read this chapter. I may have thrown my book against a wall... (a fib. I was reading an ebook. but I was tempted!) 3mo

Roary47 😱😭😭 3mo
Sargar114 HOW CAN GRRM NOT CONTINUE THE SERIES AFTER A CHAPTER LIKE THAT??!!! 😱😱😱 3mo
Sargar114 @5feet.of.fury same! I remember having to re-read it when I first read the book because I couldn‘t believe it was happening. 3mo
5feet.of.fury @Sargar114 the worst cliffhanger! And he was about to do so much! 3mo
majkia @Sargar114 really... 3mo
BethM @majkia @Sargar114 @5feet.of.fury all I have to say is he damn well better keep the resurrection from the show. 3mo

With much trepidation, they move forward with their plan, dressed as Brazen Beasts; Quentyn, Gerris & Arch proceed. Quentyn has a whip, as Dany used on Drogon.
The code word they give the guards doesn‘t work, they fight, win & break in.
The dragons have broken their chains. They try to placate the beasts with meat, but they are too wild.
The other Windblown enter &are burned.
He tries again to tame Viserion, but is burned by Rhaegal

majkia The whole, “I'ma gonna use a whip on a dragon“ idea.... 3mo
Roary47 They need tips from the Vikings. (How to train your dragon) 😅 3mo

Barristan makes it his mission to protect the dragons. His plan is to capture Hizdahr without breaking the peace. Others want a more ruthless approach, threatening Dany‘s cupbearers -only children
He reminisces over Ashara Dayne &the tourney at Harrenhal before confronting Hizdahr. He takes care of the guards and captures Hizdahr. Reznak sends a messenger for Hizdahr to come outside. The dragons are loosed.

Tyrion signs his agreements with the Second Sons, paying gold to the Sons &lordship to Brown Ben Plumm
Penny is unusually tired, Tyrion worries she is getting sick
He &Jorah are outfitted at the armory. He teaches Penny the basics of swinging a sword, she‘s regretting her decision to follow him
Jorah &Tyrion both know that the Second Sons are on the losing side, with the dragons & Unsullied in Meereen. Tyrion will help them turn their cloaks again

BethM Penny is dying or pregnant. Coupled with depression I suppose. 3mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM it‘s so funny because I‘m 4 months pregnant and anytime a female character is sleepy I‘m like “oh that‘s that 1st trimester”. 😂 3mo

BethM @5feet.of.fury congrats! And yes I was tired the whoooollle time! 3mo

Cersei has chosen atonement, Margaery has chosen trial. Restless, she wonders if the choose correctly. She must walk through the smallfolk back to the Red Keep
They cut her hair
The crowd yells insults &becomes unruly but, bleeding & horrified, she makes it to the castle. Tommen is not there, only Ser Kevan.
She is lifted by 8 ft tall “Ser Robert Strong”. Qyburn presents her champion saying he will drive enemies from the realm

majkia I'd feel sorry for her if I knew it would make her humbler. 3mo
5feet.of.fury @majkia yup, it was difficult to read but I know she‘s just going to get more wicked with the ending lines about squashing enemies. For a second there when she was thinking “what if Joff had pardoned Ned & we married off Sansa” there was a glimmer of introspection &remorse. But. I think that was it. 3mo
BethM @majkia @5feet.of.fury I agree with you both. 3mo
Sargar114 I definitely had less sympathy this time around, but oof that is a rough chapter 3mo

She is still trying to prove herself, disguised as Cat of the Canals again. She is to give the gift to an old man, but he is nervous &well guarded. The kindly man grows impatient as she questions & rationalizes, but she makes a plan
She is given a new face. Ugly.
She robs a shipowner doing business with the old man, replacing a coin with her own. The old man‘s heart gave out soon after. Her apprenticeship starts

BethM I‘m ready for her to get back to Westeros 3mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM I had a feeling we weren‘t far along enough in her story, but I was hoping to see her reunite with Jon. 3mo
Roary47 I also was really hoping to would get back with someone. 3mo
