This episode of Bend the E is brought to you by our Bannerman, Lord Jason Ross, Lady Lisman Morales, and Lady Elizabeth Hendrix. Hello and I am Sir Matt the Bud Night. And I am Sir Matt the Bud Night and I am

Jimmy of House and us welcome to our song of ice fire book club today we are into

Storm of Swords Korea One yeah back to the reread it has been been, it has been a bit, you know, House of the Dragon, there's just so much to cover,

and then of course we had the rise of the dragon book. There was a lot, but it's okay,

because now we're back into the reread. It was really fun actually diving back into, especially Storm

of Swords, and maybe it's just because some of the small chapters, which today's chapter is you know it's Aria 1 you know chapter like four of a storm

of swords sometimes when you read these chapters I think maybe on your first read because they're not as big

You just sort of like okay it is what it is and you move on and you know obviously get to it

I was doing some research on the internet and some of my own note-taking as well.

There's actually a lot of stuff in here that you can actually break down and you're like,

wow, okay, that's going to tie into this later, that's going to tie into this later, and I think especially the Storm of Swords and I'm really

curious to see if this is the case you know we know that George when he was a his original sort of plan was that this would be be a trilogy and there would be a time jump.

There's actually one line in here that sort of stuck out to me and I was kind of like,

oh, I wonder if this was something you can see where maybe George like had this idea, maybe he was changing it.

As we know now it's five books, who knows, when still may get split into two, we don't know.

That was definitely something that sort of stuck. wind still may get split into two. We don't know.

That was definitely something that sort of stuck,

you know, stuck out to me.

So before we dive in, we'd have any like,

just I guess maybe general thoughts

to diving back into the chapters or anything?

Well, first off, it's a pleasure to jump back
