Not A Podcast ASOIAF Re-Read Podcast
Arts:Books
Hello! And welcome to a very, very special edition of the NotACast ... podcast! All about why we think that A DANCE WITH DRAGONS is the better book than A STORM OF SWORDS. And we're joined by A Song of Ice and Fire LUMINARY BookShelfStud AKA Michael! (@BookshelfStud on Twitter!)
Now, if you listen to us regularly, you know that typically, we give you all one chapter per week, but recently we started a patreon campaign which kicks off on April 1st (No foolin'). To give you all a taste of the special episodes you will get if subscribe to our patreon for a mere $5/month or more.
In this nearly 3 hour long episode, we cover topics like:
- The strengths of ASOS (Stannis, Catelyn, Samwell, Battle of the Wall, Red Wedding, Purple Wedding)
- The weakness of ASOS (Early King's Landing, early Arya/Bran, climaxes not spaced out)
- ADWD's strengths: Quentyn!
- ADWD as a study of leadership and its failures on the part of Dany and Jon
- Delving deeply into the psychology of the characters
- Getting at the heart of the themes that dominate DANCE and A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE as a whole.
- Weakness of ADWD too! Orientalism, mid-point Jon, Dany, Tyrion chapters, the choppy endings and cliff-hangers
- Finally, we get into the meta side: why we prefer ADWD over ASOS and talk about the fandom in 7 years since ADWD.
It's great fun, and please consider our patreon if you're able to (But if not, no worries, friends. We'll keep doing our chapter by chapters for YOU!)
