Westeros.org has its own excerpt of "The World of Ice and Fire", and we talk about it!
Season 4 concluded, and naturally, we continue our streak of TV criticism.
Not an ASOIAF sample chapter, but a sample chapter nonetheless! We get a sneak peak into Aegon from "The World of Ice and Fire".

And even more women of Westeros! We lump Melisandre, Margaery and Lysa Arryn together.
Even more women of Westeros! This time, it's Catelyn and Dany, which seem to have nothing in common, but they don't know us.
A new sample chapter dropped! This time, we meet up with Arianne.
