Blade of Sunlight

The same reason people keep transposing Dany's fireproofing from the show to the books, she didn't burn once and everyone thinks that means she's fireproof, even after the author of the books explicitly said, on multiple occasions, that Dany is not fireproof.

I expect her to be able to convince the dothraki much more easily in the books, she faces a khalasar with Drogon. The khalaser will likely yield, possibly she kills the Khal and bloodriders, she will then likely go to Vaes Dothrak and there convince the Dosh Kaleen that the Dothraki should follow them. I don't get where they are going, if Euron gets elected Theon's arrival is useless, if Theon/Asha win then Euron is useless, the only useful result would be is the IB split, half go with Euron to Mereen (I guess) and half stays with Theon/Asha, doing what? I don't know.

I can accept that she is fireproof in the show, but that clearly isin't the case in the books. We know dragon fire gets hotter the larger a dragon is, these ara not big enough to even come close to melt stone. Take Quentin, he is burnt directly by dragonfire, he dies, but only after four days and didn't melt at all. In Daznak's Pit Dany isn't badly burnt, mostly because she never gets hit by Drogon's flame, she rolls under it, and just the proximity to the flame is enough to burn away her hair and giver 2nd degree burns in her hands, all of this just by being close to the flames, not in it's path. Based on that, if the same thing happened to book Dany she would have died with the Khals, unless she is magically saved as she was in the pire.

Well, we know that even when the Targs had dragons they were not fireproof, as is evidenced during the Dance of the Dragons when multiple dragonrider Targs are burnt to death, in the books Dany herself is burnt by Drogon.

Well, still hoping for a show GNC! Poor Osha. Glad Edd and Davos decided to talk a bit more, however brief both the questioning about the NW and about Shireen were. Jon and Sansa bonding was ok, though I don't understand why she needs him to ask the lords of the north to join them, she is the daughter of Eddard Stark, so you would expect the Northen lords to want to help her. The looks Tormund gave Briene were very funny. Mereen was ok, I guess it makes sense in the current circumstances, seeing Tyrion in action was excellent. KL, start was a bit dull, more preaching from the HS, but the final scenes were interesting, Cersei returning to her old ways I hope, not turning into an actual reasonable person with this alliance, the aftermath hopefully leading tua actual discordance between her and Jaime. The Vale is what it is, not bad, though I find it strange that the 2nd most powerful lord of the vale was so easily intimidated, and as I seem to recall, in the books he was one of the major supporters of helping the Starks in the first place. The II had a decent scene, not sure where they are going with though, if Asha is to loose the KIngsmoot then Theon appears to be useless, if not why bring in Euron at all, but it remains to be seen. Dany, oh Dany, I thought I was going to dislike this because it would be another Drogon saves the day moment, but what transpired was worse, she slowly throws the braziers that seemed to be field with petrol or alcohol, and the strong khals and friends were unable to break what appeared to be relatively thin wooden walls, or even stop the 1.6m girl from turning more braziers over. It's not worth mentioning that Dany should not be fireproof because clearly in the show she is more fireproof than the dragons.

I agree with you about command, terrain and discipline, but not the elephants, westerosi armies have face them before, and as such their shock value is greatly diminished since any competent commander should be accustomed to the tactics associated with elephant warfare. As I've said before, the likely way the reach will lose is with an incompetent commander, and as the books pointed out multiple times Mace fits the role, but if Randyll is actually in command, then I doubt the GC can win.

I don't remember, but in any case if an army leaves from the Boneway the moment Arianne reaches SE, it would still have to outpace an army from KL, which is closer and has been on the march for days. They however have the advantage of the KL army being in supposedly no hurry, still I don't think the dornish army could reach SE before the battle unless Aegon/Jon Con is actively stalling for time. If Aegon does manage to win the battle, either the people in control of the reach army are terrible commanders (thinking of Mace) or they went without sufficient numbers, which would be stupid as they (theoretically) aren't pressed for time.

I've enjoyed the chapter, it's moody and interesting, perhaps diminished by already knowing fAegon took storm's end. What will happen next, I see only two outcomes, the battle happens and fAegon is destroyed (I doubt the GC I'd strong enough to face a Reach army that likely has many times their numbers) or he converts the army. The problem here is the first option puts a period to the whole Aegon story, and the only lasting ramifications could be the capture of Arianne, and the second option is a bit of a stretch, yet the one everyone (including me) expect to happen, thus it's theoretical "surprise efect" is much diminished. In any case, I cannot wait for the Winds of Winter launch!
