If you checked out the "A White Cloak Turned is Still White" you heard that we dropped a section on Serwyn for time considerations. We turned it into a short scripted episode instead, full of art and maps and other images. Ash did a fantastic job imo!
The early release period begins one day early for this one (8 days instead of 7). i.e public release will be Sunday the 24th.
At the usual time of 3 Eastern, we discuss the book as a whole.
We have a lot prepared already, but would love to get more questions and comments from you if you have them!
A few sample questions to pique your interest:
- Why is ASOS generally considered the most popular of the books?
- Why did GRRM abandon the 5 year gap?
- How the style of ASOS differs from the other books (especially the ending)
- Biggest things we see differently on this re-read given the show...

- For those who consumed the White Cloak Turned episode know we omitted a full section on Serwyn of the Mirror Shield due to time constraints. I turned those notes into a script, which we are recording TODAY. It will be a short episode, ~35 minutes. It will follow the normal advance release schedule, but we won't do the most of the verbal shout-outs because of the length, but they will be shown in the credit roll as usual. Ash thinks we will have it up by Tuesday at the lates...

As discussed in the other thread, if you would like to join today's hangout, it'll be on Skype. Just a hangout and chat, no content. :)
How to join:
- Add me on Skype, my name is azizal23
- I'll add you to the call at 3 (an hour from this post)
Simple as that. There's a max of 25 ppl but I doubt we'll fill up.
Shall we have a Skype session again for whoever is interested? With so many people stuck at home I figured this would be of interest to a few of you at least.
I was thinking either this Saturday the 11th or the week after, at 2 or 3 EST, but if that's a bad time for too many ppl we could move it.
Respond here if you'd like to be included! Depending on interest we can do this more often. I have an upgraded Skype account which I believe allows us to host 25 people at at time.
