The I'm going to Hello and I am Sir Ersa the Bud Knight.

Welcome to Benin' The Knee, a song of Ice and Fire podcast.

I am Sir Matt the Bud Knight.

And I am Sir Ezra the Watchful.

Welcome to our Song of Ice and Fire Book Club.

Welcome to Raven's Nest.

Yeah, you know, hey man, we finished, you know what you and I call season one which is the

first book yeah and we you know we kind of wanted to do a recap with everybody

just kind of thoughts on the first book and you can also you

know kind of first season of game of Thrones as well you know that comparison

there and then we'll talk a little bit about you know just some people's

favorite characters favorite plot points and then talk a little bit about hey as we favorite created vastly expands, you know, some of these other characters as well.

Yeah, I think it's neat just to reflect on the first book as a whole and we kind of

have asked some of our patrons here just for questions things they thought would be good to discuss and it's just it's kind of it's a milestone. It's it's neat that we're here and we got to do this kind of as a group and I don't know it's been really neat so this is a nice little

transition as we get ready to move into a clash of king.

Yeah absolutely so you know sirs are I mean you're kind, what are some of your kind of takeaways just from the first, from the first book?

Well, um, again, this is one, you've always said that it's actually really, it's very similar to the TV show,

like it's one of the more closely adapted, if you will and so I don't know like for me it's just it's

it's the start to everything it's it's the start to everything it's it's amazing to me I

guess one of my biggest takeaways is always a man's raider that he's mentioned out the gate and that he that George had in his mind this story kind of knew I don't know I've read that it was supposed to be a trilogy and

and it's expanded from there and all this kind of stuff but and he had this idea

of a king beyond the law that this war that would take place.
