Welcome back to Game of Thrones to Electric Bookcalo.

I'm noticed Anthony.

This week, mathematician Padrick McCarran joins me to talk about another amazing brand chapter.

If you'd like to send me feedback, book at baldmoove.com.

Without further ado, here is Dr. Podrick McArren.

Padrick, is this the most magical?

I mean, of course, we've got the prologue, which is sort of rife with magic, but it feels like this chapter is most overtly talking about the ice magic or the northern magic or the old gods magic more robustly than any chapter we've met so far.

Yeah, and Lewin also mentions that he tried to do magic as many in the silver left on, and he shows him his Valerian steel ring.

We get almost absolute confirmation now that Brian's wolf dreams are him warging into summer,

whereas previously, especially if your first time reader, you mightn't know that that's exactly

what's happening, that he is as soon as he sleeps, he goes in the summer,

whereas Jojin explicitly points out that he felt Bran in there,

and Bran knows this is true, but he tries not to admit it.

Yeah, a lot, it's a short chapter, but a lot of, I suppose,

reveals specifically with magic.

I would imagine that most people caught the clues, right?

That he's working into summer.

But in case you needed it, you know, in case you needed it spelled out,

we actually have two chronic men in the story who seem to have a closer connection

with the old ways or the religion of the children of the forest and who are absolutely going

to provide counter information to the foil that is Mr. Lewin.

We were seeing this kind of magic only through the perspective of a child who doesn't quite understand what's happening.
