"When you bet against the lions, you lose more than your purse."

Sandor's back! I didn't realize how much I missed him until he appeared again. It does make me wish [REDACTED] had gone with him, though. Oh, if only she had...

"Why should I spare his feelings, when no one cares about mine?"

Will Jon soon rejoin his brothers of the Night Watch? I miss them being together.

Sansa can never catch a break, can she? Poor girl.

"The truth is all around you, plain to behold. The night is dark and full of terrors, the day bright and beautiful and full of hope. One is black, the other white. There is ice and there is fire. Hate and love. Bitter and sweet. Male and female. Pain and pleasure. Winter and summer. Evil and good. Death and life. Everywhere, opposites. Everywhere, the war."

Ah, so Jaime's getting his own POV chapters. Not quite sure how I feel about that. 🤔

I wish you hadn't done that, Catelyn. Oh well, it can't be helped now.

"You were the one who taught me that a good threat is often more telling than a blow."

Once again, I browsed through the paperback editions and could not find the following one on Goodreads:
