Bookmark Notes:
This really is a grim ass story. It’s extremely dark, and morality gets thrown out the window within the first few chapters. It’s a sobering reminder I suppose of the reality of a brutal and barbaric conflict.
It’s compelling however. There’s a lot of historical substance behind the story, and it’s very unique. It’s a story where family loyalty falls by the wayside, where our traditional cast of heroes all turn to enemies. There’s no reconciliation, just bloody, bloody retribution and treachery.
I also love some of the ways the author portrays characters. They’re not simple caricatures. they grow and adapt based on circumstance. Sansa, Stannis, Catelyn, and Jon are all perfectly indicative. So is Arya. Hatred has turned Arya and Catelyn incredibly vengeful and savage. Other characters like Irri are also fleshed out and made compelling.
Chapter 39 is a great example of how severe the departure from canon is in this story. A complete inversion of the traditional Sansa-Cersei relationship. It’s quite tragic.
So is the alliance agreed upon. How interesting is a tenuous and bitter alliance between Jon + Catelyn, with FAegon + Daenerys, with Stannis Vs. the Lannisters, Tyrell’s + Sansa!
I have to say, however, that the story at times is quite disturbing. It’s extremely Machiavellian and macabre, making it hard to recommend to most.
Despite this all, it’s an extremely worthy read. Would I re-read it? Definitely.
9/10

Summary
The Battle of the Blackwater Bay is here and Sansa Stark knows this is the best time she can think of to escape the Lion's Den. With help from her sassy handmaiden, Shae, and the only decent Lannister, Tyrion, Sansa has been preparing to fly from her gilded cage for over three moons. When she returns to her chamber the night of the battle to find a broken Hound, though, she cannot bear to leave him behind. She asks him to come with her... will he say yes?
------
"Legend has it there is always a reason why souls meet. Maybe they found each other for reasons that weren't so different after all. They were two souls searching and found a home lost in each other. When souls find comfort in one another, separation is not possible. The reasons they are brought together are no accident. Maybe she needed someone to show her how to live and he needed someone to show him how to love." - N.R. Hart
