- Do you have any of your own you want us to consider?
- Did we miss anything?

Oh great catch on the insect bites! That's one I missed :) Also, I almost wrote "incest" bites...
History of Westeros
2020-08-22 19:06:14 +0000 UTCI’ve enjoyed all the rereads, but this was my favourite. Gonna miss it! One thing I really didn’t expect was all the Dunk & Egg parallels. I remembered the shield on Tarth, and the symbolism of not-really-a-knight-but-more-knightly-than-anyone, but I was blown away by some others. Brienne’s chapters gave us the Broken Man monologue, but The Sworn Sword shows us the recruiting of those small folk fighters, and really the same debate. Foes charge them in the same way, trying to vanquish them quickly. underestimating their prowess. There are many times you could imagine them saying each other’s lines. Dunk could certainly say ‘no chance and no choice’ many times. At the Whispers I could imagine Brienne saying ‘I’m better with a real sword’. Hell, they even scratch insect bites on their necks the same!
