This week, a breather. By which I mean we come in at just under three hours! The end of the Dance keeps coming as we hit double Meereen, have double returns, and one hell of a big event in the North. Today we start large as Jon Snow opens the Wall and allows the wildlings to finally enter the Seven Kingdoms, Barristan Selmy watches the political fallout in terms of Meereen vs Yunkai, Quentyn Martell reveals a hell of a plan while ignoring his much smarter friends, and Jon Connington returns to the shores of Westeros in the name of conquest.

Today's chapters are:

- Jon XII

- Barristan II/ The Discarded Knight

- Quentyn III/ The Spurned Suitor

- Jon Connington II/ The Griffin Reborn

Jump ashore on the Isle for an indepth dive on Jon's dream of protecting the Wall, the gloom of a snow sky, and what it means for the people leaving their world behind. Elsewhere we muse on Hizdahr's intentions (again) and lambast Barristan for his poor thinking and underappreciation of both Daenerys and Quentyn. Speaking of, we ignore Quentyn to admire the wisdom of his friends, specifically Gerris Drinkwater and his focus on life over death. Finally, we finally get to talk Stormlands! And castle assaults! As well as Rhaegar, the potential evil of Jon Con, and how all of Westeros will react to this growing invasion.
