2022-01-03

Hello and welcome to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, it's child murder, lord murder and the all-but-fall of the North. Cheery Stark stuff. This week, we: - Analyze Rickard Karstark, his reasons and his weak-ass rationale for child murder - See how Robb Stark is reacting emotionally to the fall of his kingdom - Dread alongside of Catelyn at the loss of the Karstarks and what this means for the Stark cause - Revel (slightly) in Robb Stark's frontier justice but realize that ultimately one execution won't right all the wrongs in the world - See the false ray of hope in Jeyne's hips by chapter's end...
