Isle Of Faces

Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis: CoK 12

The ISLE OF FACES blasts into 2020 with the final episode on a Clash of Kings. Going through the last six chapters of this wonderful book we escape Harrenhal, wrap up the Blackwater, make sure Jon Snow's sword is sharp and say good...we say goodby....I'm sorry I'm going to need a moment.

We say goodbye to Winterfell!!! OK look at today's chapters while I dry my eyes again:

- Arya X

- Sansa VIII

- Theon VI

- Tyrion XV

- Jon VIII

- Bran VIII

 

I go through all these arc-ending chapters, update you on some guest appearances made over the holidays, discuss new aims in the new year, but more importantly talk whispers in the godswood, the new losses of Tyrion, Theon on the Night's Watch, Qhorin's sword-fighting ability and the death of...of...oh heck just press play won't you?

Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis: CoK 11

The Isle of Faces is heading into battle as the BLACKWATER finally arrives.

Davos wrestles with wildfire and wild water. Tyrion defends the walls, defends the gates, and gets on one hell of rickety bridge. Sansa is left to do all the queening in the Red Keep as well as dealing with a cowardly Hound. And just to give us a break from the utter horror of war Daenerys finally leaves Qarth with Ser Barry (But there's like...zero wildfire in her chapter)

Today's chapters are:

-Davos III

- Tyrion XIII

- Sansa VI

- Tyrion XIV

- Sansa VII

- Daenerys V

I talk about the qualifications of Ser Imry Florent, how Jaime influences this battle all the way from Riverrun, how Ser Barry has had me fooled for 5 years, and one of Sansa's greatest ever moments.

So step on the Isle for horrible fires, brave charges, a hell of a lot of drinking, and Ser Jorah getting pushed on his bum

Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis: CoK 10

Welcome one and all to the eve of battle!

 

As the fires of Stannis appear on the horizon we busy ourselves with a double dose of Sansa, Direwolf dreams in the frostfangs, and a truly damned Theon. All that, and I promise not to get weepy when we bid goodbye to Catelyn as she makes one of the monumental decisions in the entire series.

Today's chapters are:

-Sansa IV

- Jon VII

- Tyrion XII

- Catelyn VII

- Theon V

- Sansa V

 

Hopefully this new schedule can continue and you can look forward to Scraps and Scrolls appearing nearer the beginning of the week so you can double feature with History of Westeros' Sunday streams

For now step on the Isle for Qhorin talk, Jaime details, and the wondrous return of Asha Greyjoy!

The Great Castles of Westeros- Release Eve podcast!

It is here!! Tomorrow, somehow, the GREAT CASTLES OF WESTEROS, an Unofficial Guide, releases as both E-book and paperback on Amazon!

 

To celebrate the occasion I go through everything you could want to know before the book comes out, what's inside each chapter, how the book came about, the highs and lows, the pride I feel at its completion, and everything else I could think of.

 

You'll have to forgive me, I MIGHT get a tad emotional talking about a project that I've been working on for so long, but I get even more excited about the prospect of sharing it with you.

Here we go, guys.

 

Castles have come. Thanks for being along for the ride!

- Arya VII

- Catelyn III

- Sansa III

- Catelyn IV

Step onto the Isle for stooopid Lancel, wise Jojen, proud Baratheons, and the Stark women snarling strong in the middle of it all

Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis: CoK 5

My voice is BACK...kinda. On today's part 5 of Clash of Kings I fend off the last of the sniffles while also meeting Brienne (wow!), Asha (Brilliant!), Gilly (Yay!), Quaithe (Cool?) and.... Craster (Oh.) because today's chapters include some absolute gems such as:

- Catelyn II

- Jon III

- Theon II

- Tyrion VI

- Arya VI

- Daenerys II

 

So come and step on the Isle, especially if you like Jeor-bashing because I go OFF on the Old Bear while also bowing down to the brilliance that is Asha Greyjoy and piecing together what I call Balon's Bonkers Plan.

All that plus a great review recap, counting poisonings off the top of my head, and roughly 200 coughs I had to edit out.

Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis: CoK 4

I am....ALIVE! But my voice is not. After failed hopes for the flu to desert me by the weekend this shorter episode comes to you with many sniffles and coughs (though I hope I edited most of them out). A shorter episode, but with more packed in as I go through the scraps for SEVEN chapters today. They are:

- Tyrion III

- Bran II

- Tyrion IV

- Sansa II

- Arya V

- Tyrion V

-Bran III

 

Come join me on the Isle as I croak and cough my way through King's Landing (a lot), meet some horrible mountain men, and go dancing with the one and only Wyman Manderly.
