I began reading the books in early 2023 and now I’m in “dance with the dragons” and i don’t want to finish it. The reason why it took me so long is because the sixth book, so I said I will take my time with it ,and between each book I wil read books in general I’m interested in, But so far I’m in love with George books but even after a year and a half of me reading it,he didn’t even give the fans winds of winter! My condolences for those who read the books for a long time ago and still waiting 💔 I guess I will be one of them soon

To answer your question at 20:26 In A Game of Thrones, Lord Tywin brings a sellsword company led by a man called Vargo Hoat from Essos called the Brave Companions and among the company are two Dothraki (at least that’s what’s known to us since this company has around 100 members and only a few are named) named Zollo and Iggo. And the dornishman is probably some random man from Dorne that just joined them since I guess it’s very easy to join that company as we see in the case of Rorge and Biter in A Clash of Kings.

@@houstonJPG Don’t beat yourself up too hard, the only Lannister that has a POV in AGOT is Tyrion and he was mostly away from his family in 299 AC so even he didn’t know that, I think it was briefly mentioned in an Arya chapter during her time at Harrenhal in ACOK.

About the part with Aerea and Balerion, another detail that makes it even more unsettling is the report of the gashes on Balerions’ sides. It horrified the Dragonkeepers and anyone else who saw them, because it had to be something big enough to cause those kinds of wounds, and we know how big Balerion was. We cannot even begin to imagine what could be lurking inside of Valyria, its dark fantasy writing at peak efficiency, it surges with dark magic.

I'm probably commenting too late, but it would be interesting on a first read-through to try A Ball of Beasts, which is a fan project which combines AFFC and ADWD into one book. A lot of people found Feast to be bit of a slog since the POVs didn't include some fan favorite characters. Either way, hope you enjoy the rest of the series, and I'd like to be the first to welcome you into the camp of those waiting for TWOW ❄

Why does everyone seem to forget World of Ice and Fire also exists? Yes Fire and Blood fleshes out the early Targ material, but World covers the rest of their history and the world geography. Just seems weird no one even makes a passing reference to it anymore.

@@houstonJPG Your call dude. You’ve already got a ton to read lol. It’s been a long time since I read it, but as I remember it’s more of a coffee table style book. So it’s got a much broader scope than Fire and Blood, but it doesn’t go nearly as deep. Also, for all I know it may only be semi-canon at this point. I would say check it out if you are curious, but it’s probably not a necessity. For the record I was just venting my curiosity as to why it seems to be forgotten. I wasn’t trying to say you are doing it wrong or anything.

About the people that capture Jaime and Brienne, in the books they're called the Brave Companions and they're intially hired by Tywin in the first book, then they change sides to the northmen, since they're a foreign sellsword company, there are a lot of members that are from Essos (like Zollo, the Dothraki that maims Jaime) In the show they decided to change them to be just soldiers lead by Locke (a Bolton lieutenant), who kinda resembles Vargo Hoat (the leader of the BC) because of the goatee, kinda sad that they left out the slobbery tongue and the goat helmet
