Chloe and Eliana read another GRRM short story from the Thousand Worlds universe: Butterbumps—wait, no, Bitterblooms. A girl lost during deepwinter gets swept away by a magical woman to journey among the stars... or does she?

Top regrets of my life: Not splitting these Jon chapters to make more than two episodes, because WOW. What a ride. Griff decided to add an extra syllable to make himself a "griffin," once more. That's right, Jon Connington is back, and he's taking prisoners (it's his family). Welcome home, how's it feel to be back, strolling down memory lane? Well, Jon Con's got thoughts on that.Check us out on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/girlsgonecanon.bsky.social---Eliana's twitter: https://twitter.com/arhythmetricEliana's reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/glass_table_girlEliana's blog: https://themanyfacedblog.wordpress.com/Chloe's twitter: https://twitter.com/liesandarborChloe's blog: liesandarborgold.comIntro by Anton Langhage

ASOIAF Episode 227 — ADWD The Griffin Reborn

We have waited six years to finally get to this POV... but that's only half as much time as Jon Connington has been pretending to be dead. A lost lord finds himself as his hand count down his time left in the story.Link mentioned — AR Blackfyre with Lo the Lynx: ASOIAF Collab: "The Beautiful Spymaster: Lysono Maar, Orientalism, and Liminality" & Discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I38Ue0dwVyA-----Check us out on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/girlsgonecanon.bsky.social---Eliana's twitter: https://twitter.com/arhythmetricEliana's reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/glass_table_girlEliana's blog: https://themanyfacedblog.wordpress.com/Chloe's twitter: https://twitter.com/liesandarborChloe's blog: liesandarborgold.comIntro by Anton Langhage
