Rate this book
Daniel Abraham's rousing adaptation of George R. R. Martin's fantasy masterwork continues. In Winterfell, young Brandon Stark, though crippled by his near-fatal fall, is finally able to ride again, with the help of a gift from Tyrion Lannister. As thanks, the Imp has been imprisoned by Catelyn Stark and her sister, Lysa Arryn, in the forbidding sky dungeons of the Eyrie, and charged with Bran's attempted murder. Now, in a desperate bid for freedom, Tyrion demands the right of trial by combat. But what chance does a dwarf have against Lysa's chosen champion? Differences in size are not the only reason for an unequal fight, as Eddard Stark learns in King's Landing, where his investigation into the death of Jon Arryn takes an unexpected-and deadly-turn.

“Make Way or Die!”

From Ch. 35, 37-38, Three storyline face that might interrupted by something in trouble for character’s fate and hard situation on the journey. Bran Stark is under attack by the wildings, Tyrion Lannister is in a cell almost like forever until he manages to find another way, Med Stark stop his investigation and about to go home but been ambushed.

The Cover of Robb Stark change with a horse and 2 direwolves to the Wilding in the Forest is amazing, and the true color of House Stark as well.

Bran go on his first ride, since he’s crippled, alongside his brother, Theon, Maester Luwin, And Others to go on a hunt at the Forest. When Robb ride to find their direwolves, Bran is surrounded and almost taken by 6 wildings. Then Robb returns with the help of Direwolves and Theon Greyjoy to kill them all except One, Osha is taken as captive to Winterfell.
-Bran encounters the outcast is the Wilding who want to go South as Far from Bryond the North.

Speaking of Captive, Tyrion is in one of the Eyrie’s sky cells. He decide to bribes the gaoler for ready to confess. In the high hall, Tyrion instead convince Lady Lysa Arryn to give him a trial by Combat. Lysa chose Ser Vardis Egen as her Champion. While no one volunteer as Tyrion’s Champion, Sellsword Bronn declares it.
-Tyrion’s many thought getting weaker in the bee hive prison. Then he found the way out with his action is his argument to Lysa, and honest himself to confess his sins and nasty things in front of the court as a jokes but true. The Combat by Trial is the only way of his life to be Free- his life or his death.

Littlefinger Leads Ned to the brothel where Jon Arryn last visited: Robert’s Bastard baby daughter of young whore. Then Ned And his 3 Stark men are ambushed by Jaime and his 20 Lannister guardsmen for Tyrion’s abduction. During the fight, Stark men died and Ned’s leg is broken and unconscious.
-Ned’s lies as his command to protect Catelyn, like her daughter Arya’s lie to protect Nymeria. Both Stark’s Lies as Duty of Protection and Lannister’s Lies as Duty of Cunning is the main rivalry that started the War.

The storyline are absolutely excellent that you know a scene from the HBO’s adaptation small screen and now on the comic pages. The artwork, color, and ink shown this from Martin’s literal pages. Bran’s on the background shown forest area and snow falling is the meaning of Stark’s word of beware: Winter is Coming. Tyrion on the background been peril by the Arryn and Tully that his Lannister’s weakness but convinces as one of his strength. Ned’s on the background shown the raining during the night time remain that he been brutal outnumber by the Lannister. If you’re a fan of GOT or comic book that you read the original, you truly understand the difference.

Similar to what I said about the previous comic. There are 3 parts of the stories being told (Ned's, Bran's, and Tyrion's) and each are given equal time. And similar to what I said about the previous comic, I wish that it was longer because it seemed to wrap up far too quickly.
