465: ASoS Jon II

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Chicky commits a “meaty” chapter faux pas, but Jon really does have it bad for Ms. Kissed By Fire. George really wants us to know the Giants aren’t human, and reminds us why we always hate (but memory hole) Harma Dogshead. Tormund’s backstory is a little much, but at least it’s entertaining. Ygritte saves Jon more than once, and we wish we had her POV. Game of Thrones. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Storm of Swords - Jon II.
