Welcome to A Song of Dan and Josh, the show where Josh Hill — who has never read the Song of Ice and Fire books — and myself — who’s read them too many times — walk through each and every chapter of George R.R. Martin’s (unfinished) magnum opus.
Today, we’re looking at Arya III, from A Clash of Kings. Let’s take a road trip:
So this is a pretty short chapter, almost to the point where we wonder why it’s even here. But like all Song of Ice and Fire chapters, it’s worth analyzing. What does Arya’s gruesome road trip north tell about the state of Westeros, and how does it shape the person Arya will become?
And what the hell is a holdfast? You made that up, Martin.
