Davos has written his goodbyes but Robett Glover comes. His brother was &is again lord of Deepwood Motte now that Stannis took it back
Lord Wyman has killed someone &posed him as Davos. A farce for the Freys. Wyman‘s son is home &his games are almost done. He brings in Wex, Theon‘s squire who saw Winterfell fall
Wyman still has a force of warships that will benefit Stannis -if Davos meets his price
Wex has told of the escape of 2 Stark boys

5feet.of.fury Y‘all. Wex? I Don‘t remember him at all 4mo
BethM Ha me either. 4mo
Roary47 @BethM @5feet.of.fury I thought it was Rickon for a second there. “Rix” could all these extra characters just be playing at being who they say they are? Or just adding characters to extend the story 4mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM @Roary47 I went & looked it up in the wiki because I was convinced that GRRM just added him in, but apparently Theon got Wex as a squire on his return to iron isles (he came with the horse)& Wex helped the search party when Bran & Rickon escaped 4mo

Davos arrives in White Harbor. He is hopeful that Lord Wyman hasn‘t picked a side until he sees a Warship with Lannister banners.
He overhears men talking about the other Kings -& Viserys & Rhaegar‘s baby & finally of Dany- but not of Stannis.
Deterred, but not willing to give up hope, he calls on Lord Wyman

BethM This are hard to discuss bc not much happened. 4mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM I was feeling that way too, why was there so much recap for Davos this chapter on top of the really basic convos in painful detail? 4mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM todays chapter wasn‘t much better. 😩 4mo

Davos is brought before Godric Borrell, bound for White Harbor but ended up in Sisterton. He blames the storms but it was really betrayal. Salladhor Saan grew impatient with Stannis, cut his losses, cast Davos out.
Godric& Davos catch eachother up
Davos realizes he‘s running out of time to secure White Harbor for Stannis. He thinks of what to say to enlist Godric‘s help. Godric has his doubts & agrees to help but “if you lose you were never here”

Roary47 I know I‘m way behind… lol but…Whoa! Did we just get a clue to Jon Snows mom? 🤩 4mo
5feet.of.fury @Roary47 yes we did! Not sure if it‘s an actual fact, but hopefully someday GRRM will let us know 4mo

Davos &his companions have a plan, but they must deceive Melisandre to smuggle Edric out of Dragonstone. He sees them off &goes to Stannis. Melisandre saw the death of the third king in the fire, but Stannis hesitates without official word, Davos confirms it is true. Stannis has no love for Joffrey &Tommen is still heir. Stannis feels betrayed, as he draws his sword Davos pulls out a letter…

Roary47 I like that so much is going on, but he just goes right back to working on his reading and writing. 8mo
BethM It‘s been too long, I know we know what that letter says, I just can‘t remember. 8mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM the last thing I remember Davos being perturbed about was the wildlings coming and -I think- the attack on the Fist? But wasn‘t sure if it would be that or something else no one is bothered to tell Stannis 8mo

Stannis hears of the Red Wedding, but he is not impressed with the Freys. Queen Selyse &Melisandre preach that killing Edric Storm will raise dragons for Stannis. She implies her ritual killed 2 kings, Davos says if the 3rd dies he will be convinced &Stannis sees his logic
Davos has been learning to read & Pylos gives him an old letter from the Nightwatch about the wildlings coming south, asking for help; he is troubled by the implications

Roary47 I‘m just impressed that news is traveling faster this time. It normally takes forever to get news to our other POVs. The names in Davos‘ POV I‘m having trouble remembering the most. 8mo
5feet.of.fury @Roary47 there was one person he was talking to to that I was like “ok, thanks, whoever you are” 😅 but happy to help with any of the others 😂 8mo

BooksNBowls Why does no one care about the wildings?! 8mo
5feet.of.fury @BooksNBowls it seems so far away so it must be someone else‘s problem. Unfortunately not much different from how we (society/the US/the average person in the West) react to global events. 8mo
BethM @5feet.of.fury I think you nailed it. 8mo
BooksNBowls @5feet.of.fury great point! 8mo
Bklover This was one of those chapters where I kept thinking “I hope this part isn‘t too important because I am having a hard time with this.” Too many names that I know but can‘t place. 8mo

Davos is brought before Stannis. Ser Axell has a plan, to attack Claw Isle for bending the knee after Blackwater. Stannis asks for Davos‘ opinion; he says most of the men died on Blackwater, they‘d punish innocent families for the choice of their leader. Stannis defends Melisandre pointing out to Davos all responsible for Blackwater, he doubts her role in Renly‘s death.Davos is made Hand. Edric Storm is sick &they are using his blood for rituals

BethM Melisandre is nuts and stannis is an idiot for falling for it, but there are moments- like him speaking of duty- where you‘re like this guy is just trying to be righteous in an f‘d up world. 9mo
Roary47 I‘m having trouble comprehending these chapters. I‘m glad you‘re bullet pointing what happens. I just like: what did I just read. 🤣 8mo
5feet.of.fury @Roary47 🤣 sometimes I‘m doing them thinking “I hope this is the important part” 🤣 occasionally I look at the wiki but I‘ve been for the most part keeping it to my own interpretation, but it‘s helpful it shows all the people & place & battles - https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/A_Storm_of_Swords-Chapter_36 8mo

He seems to be the only survivor of the wildfire, able to swim under the chain because he didn‘t wear armor, but is now sick &isolated in a cave. Weak from hunger, thirst & exposure, &with his sons dead he considers walking into the water &ending it. Despairing, he prays to the Mother who reminds him of how he contributed to Melisandre‘s deeds.
He calls to the passing ship, the Mother reminding him of his wife & king & not to forget his own gods.

BethM Kinda hoping his new desire to live is so he can kill Melisandre. 10mo
5feet.of.fury @BethM yesssss same 10mo

Sargar114 Grrm does a really good job of letting you experience Davis‘ despair almost where you‘re willing to understand why he would end it all so that when he calls out to the ship you are truly hopeful in the end. 10mo
HeyT Oooh this POV character may bring me back in because I was going to just live vicariously through the posts instead of reading the books now that the two on my challenge list were finished. But Davos and Lady Olena are calling. 10mo
5feet.of.fury @HeyT 🗡️🧅 the onion knight will be here for you. 10mo
5feet.of.fury @Sargar114 agreed, & that he heard The Mother speak to him, telling him he‘s been too passive to Melisandre‘s witchery, feels like a huge turning point in his motivation. 10mo
Roary47 Poor guy 😢 I‘m glad we get to see more of him because he didn‘t give up. I hope he has some epic moments in the future. 💛 10mo
