This part was a pretty scary scene in the books. Pod and brienne are in the middle of nowhere and it's dead silent. I remember pod saying "this is a bad place".

[@victorhugomacedo4601]

It’s great how George R. R. Martin makes the story so much more believable with this little details, so much effort from Brienne’s perspective to follow a clue to Sansa’s whereabouts that we, the readers, know is not accurate, in such a huge kingdom it would certainly happen at some point! God, I miss the books!

[@shannond7437]

Victor Hugo Macedo It makes sense why it takes him so long to write. Maybe not Winds long, but every word matters!!

[@simsik4149]

And then she heard a low whisper in the wind, "why didn't she use the magic sword." I loved this Brienne chapter.

[@chambirla]

i understand that some people dont like AFFC so much but it has become my favourite from the series. At first, it did feel a bit slow, but i think that`s why i liked it so much after a second read. And Brienne`s chapters are simply awesome and add so much to the world building and to the state of the people of Westeros during this time.

[@Hero_Of_Old]

Am I the only one who loved Briennes chapters?

[@lalywindland5764]

No. Some find them boring, but to me, they were a welcome relief from the chapters detailing Cersei's spiraling into madness , Jaime's struggles with his toxic love for his twin and with his life choices, etc. It was a relief to read about a sane, smart, well-meaning person in a desolate world full of monsters, mad men and women and naive victims. She started out so idealistic, following Renly, then saw that blood magic is real when he was murdered, served Catelyn faithfully and gained more life experience, and then she saw the brutal face of the world she lived in while escorting Jaime to King's Landing. I hope she survives Lady Stoneheart and gets the ending she deserves, an honorable one.

[@keturahspencer]

No, they're some of my favorite chapters.

[@haydenrodriguez4670]

Gosh this makes me want to read the books again. I need to make the time.

[@roscojenkins7451]

I went 2 years without reading after the first book. Finally just started reading when I got into bed and I finished ADOD 6 months later

[@viniciusmoura4521]

I don't care if many tell that AFFC is the worst one of the ASOIAF series, I loved this book

[@TheINSANATY]

Me too, I also loved the final chapters of Jaime realizing that Cersei was actaully the Queen of Whores this all time and used him only for her personal goals while at same time Cersei didn't even know what she were doing in KL until she accidently improsened herself by arming and giving power to the Sparrows

[@viniciusmoura4521]

@@TheINSANATY Yes! AFFC has some great moments, the end of Brienne's arc at this book always catches me

[@dylanmccool22]

Vinicius Moura just because it may be the least favourite book it doesn’t mean it’s bad when I read it it went slow enough but it was more of a cool down from the WOTFK and Tyrion killing Tywin though I still enjoyed the book

[@viniciusmoura4521]

I agree with you

[@O.G.H.]

People hate AFFC? Really? I absolutely loved it. More than ADWD imho. I just love how wr get to read the life of the common people, and their struggle in postwar times

[@JackBarrBaxter]

Have you done a video about Septon Meribald's speech in AFFC? Truly powerful monologue. One of my favourite in the series.

Look, if you haven't read the book, dear lord please do yourself the favor and read them, better yet listen to the audio books on Audible, they are fucking amazing, none more so then a feast for crows. Like most of you, i watched the shows first, was disappointed, no disgusted by the last season. I re watched old season and re watched clips of my favorite moments a million times thinking "aaww the good days' then I finally decided to check out the books. I dont even care for the show anymore, like George martin created something so pure and incredibility rich and it a shame not everyone gets to appreciate it. READ THE BOOKS.

Just stones with no cement or mortar

[@axelkvali5131]

whycreate Oh, okay, sorry

[@SHARKVADERS]

WC!!!

[@TheLastSoundNL]

4:27 or the opposite. Remember some of the oldest castles seem to be pretty advanced. Winterfell, Storm's End and the Wall especially. It's still a riddle how they were built outside of legends. I think the Whispers can be the same. Not primitive but more advanced than the current story. With techniques forgotten or lost. After all if it is from 10000 years ago, it still stands despite being in an area that would have a great deal of erosion of salt water, wind and plants. Only recently did one of the towers fall. And without rebuilding or it would have mortared stone.

[@sparklingwater1430]

A feast for crows is my favourite book

[@dekuuchiha9990]

Can you do a 'Battle of Blackwater Bay' book/show comparison? I've trouble picturing it in the books for some reason.

I liked Dick Crabb, I thought he was funny.

[@factbeaglesarebest]

That’s the point. The whole way, the reader is engaged in suspicion. (As it’s Briennes POV), and she doesn’t trust him. Only to find it’s a group of the bloody mummers. There’s such nuance and talent in GRRMs writing. Not just subverting expectations but playing on thematic elements that develop the story in a raw and realistic way. The same way we keep hearing the hound raided Saltpans only to find that it was what Rorge? With the helmet. Obviously the hound is the gravedigger. Dead only the same way Elder Brother has died in the battle of the trident.
