Race for the Iron Throne
You Win or You Die – Historical and Political Analysis of Game of Thrones by Steven Attewell
Quick Analysis of New World of Ice and Fire Excerpt!
GRRM is being very giving lately, so we’ve got a brand-new excerpt below the cut. So, spoilery analysis below the cut, and here’s hoping the World of Ice and Fire book didn’t totally invalidate my Hollow Crowns essay on Aegon.
Chapter-by-Chapter Analysis: ACOK, Prologue
“Many called her beautiful. She was not beautiful. She was red, and terrible, and red.”
Synopsis: Maester Cressen observes the comet in the sky, discusses its meaning with Shireen and Patchface, hears from Davos Seaworth that the Stormlords will not support Stannis, quarrels with Selyse, Melisandre, and Stannis over political and military strategy, and then takes the ultimate risk in an attempt to rid the world of “the red woman.”
SPOILER WARNING: This chapter analysis, and all following, will contain spoilers for all Song of Ice and Fire novels and Game of Thrones episodes. Caveat lector.
