Abdallah Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 So I finished reading AFFC like a month ago. And without a doubt my favorite chapter was the one with the Cinnamon Wind. I liked that Gilly and Samwell finally made love. My favorite part was when Gilly and Sam talked about Kojja Mo. Gilly said at first she was scared of Kojja cause Kojja was black and Gilly never saw a black person, and then said Kojja was a good person and that she liked her. It was one of the little things that warmed me up. Anyone else enjoy reading it? and if you like a different chapter let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beautiful Bloody Sword Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yup. There a cool people with some interesting customs, outlooks on life, ships, bows, and booze. And they've got to meet quite a few POV's, which is pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Wraith Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I hope they get Marwyn to Slaver's Bay in one piece. They were a good group and I hope we see them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curled Finger Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Gotta admit I said "Yay" out loud when I first read this part. So much shipping of characters when there is a really sweet love story unfolding. Gilly finds such an obvious still unexpected way to deal with her grief and loss and sadness on top of all Sams. And the talk Sam is given about life. It's perfect. The crew of the Cinnamon Wind is one of the few groups anyone in the story comes across who actually tried to help. Their willingness to help is refreshing. I'm interested to see if Gilly and the baby made it off the ship or if they will travel with Marwyn and maybe even Maester Aemon's body and why. And what of all the books? Further, I'm hoping the experience aboard the Cinnamon Wind will help develop Sam's ideas about honor. Gilly might be the most well-travelled Wildling in the story--can't help but wonder what is in store for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSmith84 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 As with all the Sam chapters in that book, I felt it was overly long (I say we club together and buy George's editor a box of red pens) but it was nice. I like the crew of the ship; they're decent people, which is always a refreshing thing in this tale. Gilly finally stopped weeping as well, which was a huge relief.

Beorn Snow Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Sam in Braavos was my favorite part of the journey. I´m weird in the sense that I pretty much enjoy all chapters in the books, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Beth the Cat Lady Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I love the Cinnamon Wind crew! Summer Islanders really seem to have their shit together compared to other cultures. There is a theory that the ship will leave before Sam gets back to it. I doubt it, but it's fun to imagine Gilly and Kojja becoming besties as they sail around the world. I do love this chapter, but even beyond it the Cinnamon Wind and crew pop up in the background of the story in cool ways. The captain is the guy Jorah brings to see Dany's baby dragons in Qarth, and Dany promises him a boon when she becomes queen...so I wonder if that will come back around later. Especially if Marwyn takes the SW to meet Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel of Oldstones Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Sam's are some of my favorite chapters. I think we will see the Cinnamon Wind and crew again and will play another big role in the story and I'm really excited. I like to believe the Summer Islanders will come to the foreground of another storyline. I also wonder what kind of role Jalahbar Xho might play in King's Landing. I know he's been named as of Marg's lovers but he was one of the first characters we meet at Robert's court in AGOT and get his backstory about being a banished prince... I've always felt like we got that backstory and have hoped for it to come full circle. Anyone have any thoughts on him? (sorry I'm getting a little off topic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He make have had a previous connection with the Cinnamon Wind but that is a discussion for another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khal drogon Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I dread Sam's voyage chapters but a little bit of Kojja Mo didn't hurt actually. Love her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
