Tea Is Good, Books Are Better

In this week's episode, an actually good chapter! Jaime reaches Riverrun and grapples with the prospect of breaking his vow to Catelyn Stark, and Cat (Arya) sells oysters, clams, and cockles, and makes a grave mistake that involves a pair of boots. In writing school with Raven, Raven teaches Jess about the narrative principle that is Chekhov's Gun.

We are absolutely obsessed with Cersei! Cersei's chapters continue to carry this book and this one is a doozie. Plans go awry, royals get offended, and theories fly in this behemoth of a chapter. Even Brienne's chapter isn't a bore, although we do have one bone to pick with GRRM. We also discuss the unreliable narrator technique in literature.

Hosts Jess and Raven read and discuss Victarion Greyjoy's emotional journey under his new king, as well as Jaime's travels to Riverrun, in which he learns many troubling things and finally confesses his deepest secret to someone surprising.

Raven and Jess explore what is different about the twins now that they're no longer on good terms, what Tywin would think of Cersei's decisions for the kingdoms, and what it was that changed Jaime so drastically.

In today's episode, Brienne's chapters continue to disappoint us while Sam's is surprisingly juicy. We discuss Raven's inability to breathe, fear of death, whether GRRM's writing is becoming predictable, and Jess is surprised by a secret cameo!

Finally! Some good f**king chapters! In today's episode, Raven's only complaint is about her driver's license. A couple of really solid chapters have us feeling nourished and elated! Arya's adventure in the House of Black and White begins and we pick out what is different from the show, and the strange choice the show made regarding Needle. Littlefinger blows us away in Alayne's chapter, and we can't help but love him even though he disgusts us.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy listening to Jess and Raven complain about the amount of boring travel in this episode's chapters. Sure, Brienne has a fun fight and Arianne Martell is betrayed dramatically, but at what cost? Raven breaks down exactly what is so frustrating about the writing in this book.

Jess and Raven kick off this episode with a lengthy discussion about House of the Dragon, and Jess educates Raven on the greens versus the blacks and the dragons. In A Feast for Crows, we are introduced to the captain of the Iron Fleet, and learn about the horrible things he's done. We also meet Euron Greyjoy for the first time, and learn about the horrible things he's done. The kingsmoot of the ironborn takes place and the winner of the Seastone Chair has us shook!

Cersei is so dumb. Like, actually so dumb. Like so stupid. In today's episode, we read chapters 16 and 17 of A Feast for Crows and find out how the twins' paths are diverging and discuss why this may be happening. We also theorize the reason for the Golden Company breaking its contract with Myr, whose side Lady Merryweather is really on, what mistakes will lead to Cersei's downfall, and how Criston Cole fits into Jaime's struggle.
