A Dance with Dragons | George R. R. Martin
post image

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 1mo
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. 1mo
Roary47 I also was really hoping to would get back with someone. 1mo

She was the night wolf when she dreamed. Now she calls herself Blind Beth. The kindly man asks her for 3 new things &she continues to her lessons &duties
Blind acolytes are not uncommon, but none as young as her
In disguise, she thinks even Jon wouldn‘t recognize Blind Beth.She goes to do her begging, to Pynto‘s, where through the tomcat she sees &hears of Lysene ships&wildlings from Hardhome
She awakens the next day to see a candle flame dancing

BethM She got her sight back faster than I thought 2mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM seemed like a much bigger plot point in the show from what I recall 2mo

BethM @5feet.of.fury I would agree 2mo
Roary47 She continues to amaze me with her resilience to survive and learn. Go Arya! 2mo
5feet.of.fury @Roary47 she‘s my fave! 2mo
Sargar114 Her storyline is what is keeping this book interesting 2mo
5feet.of.fury @Sargar114 I‘ve missed her, glad to get back to this storyline. (And some other regulars soon) 2mo

Arya is caught whispering her prayer & learns about the many faced god. Everyday she is asked who she is & answers “No one” but can‘t forget her past &family. Confronted again, the kindly man tells her she must give all of herself. She throws her possessions into the sea -except Needle
She is given a robe & taught Braavosi
She asks about Jaqen, the man denies knowing him
She is sent out to Braavos with a new identity, Cat an orphan of KingsLanding

majkia I keep forgetting how young Arya is, to be so determined and independent. 5mo
5feet.of.fury @majkia I was so glad to see Arya. She‘s got guts. 5mo

BooksNBowls Finally one of our OG characters 😅😅 5mo
Bklover @BooksNBowls Me too! So many characters I don‘t know!! 5mo
Roary47 @BooksNBowls and @Bklover I was excited for the same thing. We‘ve had Sam, but finally in a while someone I want to hear about! 😅 5mo
BethM Loved this chapter! Lots of people but I‘m banking on all the males being the same person. 4mo
BethM Also good for her for not letting Needle go. Never give up your identity. 4mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM yesss, everything else can go but not Needle! 4mo
BooksNBowls @BethM yes! Always remember where you come from. ❤️ 4mo
Bklover @BethM Yes on both statements!! 4mo

Arya goes ashore in Braavos. She is intimidated &feeling like a little mouse again. She passes temples of all the gods, new, old & almost forgotten alike. She climbs the stairs of a windowless temple &t he doors are opened for her, inside it is filled with the dead & dying
In the House of Black &White, the temple of the many-faced God, she uses all her aliases before revealing her true identity. The Priest challenges her, asking if she fears death

majkia She might be feeling like a little mouse but she's adventuring far more than any other character in the books. 5mo
Bklover @majkia Yes, and all by herself! 5mo

BethM I love the F it I‘ll show him attitude by trying to eat the worm😂 5mo
Sargar114 Arya is such a bad@$$!!! 5mo
Roary47 She is truly a tough girl. I hate Theon, but in the show maybe the book he asked Robb if he was scared. Robb admitted he was, and Theon said: “Good that means you are not stupid”. Arya might be a little girl, but she is smart and tough as nails. 5mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM I loved the worm 🪱 & the priest “no one has ever done that before” 🤣 5mo

Arya dreams of leading the Wolfpack, but her days are stuck with the Hound. Not worried about her escaping, she doesn‘t know where to go. He reveals he is taking her to Lysa
She refuses to believe Cat is dead, until she dreams through the eyes of the wolf at the river, the stench of death, the body
They stay in a town for a time, then The Hound decides they will go to Riverrun -ransom her to Brynden. She tries to goad him to take her to the Wall

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.

Roary47 Oh man. 😭 I hope we are taking a break from that storyline. I‘m not sure I can take much more. 💔 7mo
majkia @Roary47 yeah, this part is definitely hard to take. 7mo

BethM I paged forward to see if we see her again. My heart couldn‘t take it. 7mo
Bklover @BethM I had to look too! I can‘t handle the stress! 7mo
BooksNBowls I‘m glad they didn‘t describe what they did to Robb‘s body in the show 🤢 6mo
5feet.of.fury @BooksNBowls same, I think we are all traumatized enough 6mo

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.

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.

BethM I also like his redemption arc 7mo
majkia @BethM Indeed. 7mo

Sargar114 Might be one of my favorite relationships of the series 7mo
Sargar114 The Hound could also be one of the most honorable, at least he generally does the right things even if for selfish reasons 7mo
Bklover @Sargar114 Yes! I think those two have such an interesting rapport with each other 7mo
Roary47 So excited!!! 😆 I hope we get Cat‘s perspective first when they make it. 🤗 7mo

Back to High Heart. An old dwarf woman comes to tell them her dreams. “The wet King is dead” “the old goat sits alone as the great dog descends on him” ¬ to go to Riverrun, but the The Twins for the wedding
The Storm comes, Ned the squire says his wet nurse was Jon‘s mom Wylla& that Ned Stark loved Lady Ashara Dayne who threw herself into the sea
Thoros sees in the flames: Riverrun under attack. Upset, Arya runs off &is grabbed by the Hound

Roary47 Was it me or was that gibberish? 😔🤨 7mo
Roary47 Like obviously it‘s a lot of imagery that I may just not be connecting yet. 7mo

5feet.of.fury @Roary47 Arya‘s guess was as good as mine to those prophecies 7mo
5feet.of.fury @Roary47 Vargo Hoat is the old Goat (?) 7mo
BethM Yeah the goat one threw me. So much dread. I think part of me was hoping the red wedding was in the show but not the books. 7mo
