there is theory that claims( pretty popular among some fans) there are no gods at all in the world of a sonf of ice and fire. there is just magic and people that mistakes that as the work of gods. there is evidence enough in bran's chapters.
And when she prays to the mother, she sees Cersei's face and for a moment understands Cersei's motivations. Understands her love for her childeren and whatnot.
I would point out that you do see a little bit of the power of the Seven in the Catelyn Stark chapter on page 495 of A Clash with Kings. Catelyn prays at each of the altars and as she prays she sees the faces of people she's met or known and it gives her insights that she would not otherwise have seen. She sees Arya's face when she looks at the warrior for example.
@ilijadjable i wasnt fat, but i wasn't the best looking person in middle school, and now i grew into being a pretty good looking dude. and all the girls who were repulsed by being near me are trying to bang me. but i still struggle with accepting that im not fugly anymore lol these books have really struck home with me on so many different levels. ive been reading ADWD really slow because im already sad already because i know the series will eventually end.
I really like the way George is so focused and doesn't poop out on his stories. He's been doing this for how long (no seriously how long?) and each book maintains the same level of vivid detail and engaging emotional manipulation of the audience for their favorite characters in the book. I used to think the pinnacle of fantasy was Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion, and Hobbit. Now I'm thinking Martin's fantasy world may very well have dwarfed Tolkien (feels like I'm being blasphemous).
Guys...take your hands out of your pants. She's trying to discuss the damn book, not your desperate horniness. Ya'll are like the masterless men who can't get it together after a battle and just go around being horny and stupid instead of focusing on what's important and getting back to work killing Lannisters. Kill some Lannisters fellas i.e. stop complimenting her on how gorgeous she is and discuss the book with her.
@kjchri12 i dont think lanisters are so bad especialy thyrion and kingslayer killed the mad ki8ng only beacouse he issued an order to burn evrythingand evryone with him when hen realised that the kings landing fell
@kjchri12 i would like to hear yuors opinon on thyrion also i need to tell you my comment was regardin to hers vision on the book and social ineraction
I hope you don't mind that i muted you and just stared at your beauty for like 5 min, since i hadn't read A Dance yet... ASOIF is really amazing :) good to see pretty girls reading it :D
@boozie414 Yes the founder of the Starks was probably from the south,, but at a time when the south was also full of Weirwoods and The old gods. The time of the First men
One of those swards needs to get to Rickon. How much time has passed by the end of dance? This has the feel of a 10 year story, though men have lived and died in winter and "Winter is coming"
In the first episode of the HBO series, the black brother that witnesses the the white walkers is found wandering aimlessly near winterfell and is beheaded by Lord Stark. How did this black brother get past the wall? (same for the Dire wolf cubs found south of the wall) ...
I just started watching the HBO series again, it's fun to go back and watch the episodes watching for detail I missed since reading all of the following books in the series. I must say, we really need a blog or discussion thread to debate on :)
I loved hearing your thoughts on the book as a whole and especially your thoughts about Tyrion! I adore him! 3 cheers indeed. And yeah JON!!!!!!!!!! The one new character I cared about was Quentyn. I also enjoyed seeing Barristan Selmy's POV. Great recap/review!
I wonder if the killer in Winterfell, is Coldhands or Benjen Stark, or both hehehe, shame that he doesn't kill boltons and freys the way Mance's Spearwives do their business (yellow dick for example)
@Davidmoire96 its been a while since I finished the last book, but I thought I recalled that the 3 women in search of Roose (Snow) Bolten's new wife were the ones responsible for the killing...
@jwdavis1 ,they are but there seems to be a second killer operating in winterfell, because when Little Walder is found cut up , Theon looks over to the spear wives aka Abels's washerwomen , and they return a look to him like "nah , we didn't kill that one" .
Good Review. I really like Jon Connington, to me he is in an even more desperate and brutal situation than even Stannis , the fact that he has gray scale really means he has nothing to lose, to me he is the ultimate wild card. Perfect redemption and old man in the sea style situation for Connignton. As for Ryhllor , i wonder if there is any connection between The Red God and the Doom of Valyria
Also as for Dani getting the throne , She is will play a larger role as a saviour against the others.
"Reek Reek it Rhymes with Leek" Bolton is totally creepy, Quentyn's story was totally sad and Tyrion's was the best! Go Tyrion! Great review, the first thing I googled after reading a dance with dragons and your video topped the list on youtube, who could resist =p
You still don't know who John snow is! Read page 424 and 425 of a game of thrones to find out how many Targaryen there are. I feel like I spoiled it. I cant wait to read Dances it been a long three years.
I'm half way through feast for crows.Someone told me Arya does some awesome things. Right now she's in a monastery in Bravos. When does Arya become kick ass? (Just a hint is all i'm asking.) I'm at the beginning of her rise?
I have this weard feeling that this head guy in the monistary is going to teach Arya magic to counter Stannises side kick 'Melisandre.' Yes,no, maybe?
@MrJPVERCETTI My hope is still with Dorne. I think that if Aegon conquers Storm's End many and more will join him taking that as a proof that he has the blood of Aegon the Conquerer. With that, when Aegon gets Dorne allegiance (and he must) he will become a real threat to rhe Iron throne.
I really had a tough time trying to concentrate on what you were saying for the first minute or so ! Sorry..
It got better.. eventually..
OT though,
*I was expecting Winter to at the least make a guest appearance or something. -_-
* U missed out on the Reek stuff, the stuff about the Manderly 'Pies' and the part about the North Remembering the red wedding.Those parts were pretty badass.
i agree that arya chapters are usually among the best, i'm appalled at you're quick dismissal of reek chapters.APPALLED D=!!
the style of writing andthe POV presented in said chapter diverged sharply from the rest, where most others are varying shades of gray fighting to attain or preserve power, Reek's was that of a man reduced to so little, so pathetic that i felt as if a bucket of cold water splashed on my face as i read it, just from the shudders i got while reading them. like another world
I agree with you with most of what you say especially about the gods :the old gods and Rhaellor are the only gods that count,while all other appear powerless but when you say Jon did some good things on the wall helping out the wildings hmmm..I think he was stupid and impractical doing those feats ,he was going too fast(don't get me wrong I love Jon as much as you do but somehow I feel he deserved being stabbed) and also you are cute :)
you don't like ironborn?? they're freakin crazy, and thats why i love em. i also felt really bad for Theon in this book. I know he did some stupid stuff in the past but he didn't deserve this (i hate you basterd of bolton!!)
@zjeffe I hate the Boltons; why does george r.r martin punish the likeable houses so much (starks, tullys, greyjoys) while he allows the evil houses (lannisters, boltons, freys) to win? I've read up to the later section of book three and the only loss the Lannisters seem to have suffered was *SPOILER* the death of Joffrey, while the Starks and the northern armies are nearly wiped out. Why is martin doing this?
@AntiTroll101 because it's not typical fantasy? I enjoy the non-standardized approach GRRM uses, but i agree with you.. losing Jon after the other starks being strewn and killed was tought to deal with. I also wouldn't say that the Lannister's are suffering no negativity. Let's see - Tywin is dead, Jaime lost his sword hand and is in love with a huge beastly woman, Cersei is being lead naked through the city and could possibly be put to death after her trial. - I can't wait 6 years for the next
@jwdavis1 dude why would you spoil it like that for him? he cleary says he has read up to the later section of book three... and you have to go and spoil it al...
@zjeffe dude... this is a youtube post from a person that just finished the most recent book. I'm assuming after watching the video that sums up the entire book and reading through a few hundred posts... there may be a spoiler or two. Get a grip internet person... dude.
@AntiTroll101 the tully's and Greyjoy's are likeable houses? What books are your reading... I actually prefer "down to earth/handless" Jaime Lannister more than them.
@thisoneotaku2 I'm actually getting that feeling too. I'm ready to see little finger take a sword in the neck too, Oh how I hope Brienne has sharpened what is left of Lord Eddard's blade.
Hey, nice review :) Just a few opinions: In the ASOIAF forums it has been discussed that Aegon may not be Aegon Targaryen but Aegon Blackfyre, which would be not only more plausible than 'baby-switching', it would also be more interesting and would better explain the Golden Company breaking contract. About Jon, I think I'd rather he stay dead if for no other reason than I'm tired of all the fake deaths =/ Agree with you on Arya, not so much on Tyrion.
@victorgbs other than the wildling king, who had a fake death? (Bran?) Bran hasn't faked death at all, his story line has grown and I can't wait to hear more about his travels.
You seem well verse in this series, so maybe I could bounce a question off of you. I just finished this book last night and was slightly confused about the end of Arya's POV from the book.
As you know she was set upon a guy to kill and she does so, but I'm not sure I understand how she did it. Could you maybe a explain a little the significance of how a switch of a coin killed him?
Keep up the good work and I hope you do an episode by episode review of the second season. If you have the tim
@Usurpationblitz What Arya did was this: she used the cutpursing as a ruse to swap a coin the man had with one she had poisoned in the House of Black and White; the insurer bit all the coins he was offered to verify their authenticity, so when he bit the coin, the Many Faced God gave him his gift.
What are your feelings about Quentyn Martell and his tragic fate? I feel he was an underutilized character who had a lot of potential if he survived. I also agree with his suicide plan to capture one of the dragons. After all, he did travel half the world only to be denied?? What do you think?
Just sayin, that if Jon is dead, Melisandre is a red priest, and can bring him back to life. But not without Kings blood since he the third head of the dragon. She could use Stannis, Crasters baby or Rayners baby to bring him back.
At around video section 0:15 or 0:16... you want to check to see that you are holding the book upside down to where I can see the title of the book you are holding. Other than that... good book review.
come 'n we need other targaryen, rhaegar's like, aegon is doing pretty well, he is already in westeros and he's going to take storm's end all in the next book, i think deanerys should marry him
hey gorgeous if u send me a kiss i can die happily. love a song of ice and fire, though im just in the last 100 pages of a clash of kings, i already bought the 2 next books bcz is 2 damn good, the complexity of characters.
COMPLETELY agree about Dany. When Xaro offered Dany 13 ships to sail back to Westeros and she refused, I wanted to slap her more than any character I've ever read about (and her obsession with Daario was borderline Bella/Edward annoying). Also, I'm near 100% sure Aegon is fake. Dany was earlier told a prophecy about a "mummer's dragon", and after it was shown, she was called the "slayer of lies". Makes me think Aegon is fake and Dany will unmask him.
I read somewhere that Jon will probably warg himself into Ghost as his body dies. Now, where his spirit will go...? I don't know. But the precedent was established in the prologue and expounded upon in the Bran chapter. I don't think he's dead, either. I'm worried that Arya gets darker and darker as the series progresses. I think Bran has had a presence in the book all along in the Weirwood as he reaches back through time and dreams. When will Howland Reed show up? Is Benjen Stark Coldhands?
LOL i love your voice inflection you really capture even my own thoughts and emotions in the book. Hehe ya Arya is the BEST. 3 cheers for tyrion woot woot!!
i also believ that jon is lyanna's and rhaegars son as throughout the 1st book ned is haunted by Lyanna saying promise me. I think jon will find this out from howland reed when he goes to winterfell to rule until Bran comes of age an arya sansa and rickon will make their way back to winterfell and catelyn will die once all her children are back safe at home
i loved your review but i think that tyrions chapters kinda sucked this time. jons and reeks chapters were the best IMO. and jon connington is awesome!!! even his name sounds awesome :) and i think aegon wont make it in the end :(
@darthchris19 Oh he most definitely will make it to the end. The Epilogue showed me that the last two books are really just the transition between the two major plots, the civil war is over, Winter is coming with fire and blood. Littlefinger plans on rallying the Arryns with Sansa, Varys means to sit Aegon on the throne, Dorne will join them and many will come to his call. The Others will attack with their wights and Dany will finally depart for Westeros.
I was wondering, how do you think the series will end? here's my theory... Jon Snow is clearly Azor Ahai reborn. and Longclaw will be the new Lightbringer. which means Jon is the offspring of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. Also, Bran will be Bran the Builder (and rebuild Winterfell and the Wall, which will collapse). Jon will be the king of Westeros once he marries Daenerys Targaryen and kills Aegon in 1v1 combat. Davos will kill Ramsey, Stannis (or Howland Reed) will kill Roose Bolton.
Re: religions, I don't think any of them really work. The Seven don't do anything, the Old Gods are actually Green Seers chilling out under trees in the North, and as for R'Hollor, I think that blood magic is just a thing that works in this world and that the Red Priests are a religion that grew up around that fact.
But do they really see the future? To me it seems like they get glimpses of what could be, but by seeing this they set things into motion that should not have been. Ask Stannis if you don't believe me. As for Jon, I'm convinced he'll be alive in ghost until a certain dragon queen comes to kick some undead ass.
Best/creepiest line of the book
"Dead things in the woods. Dead things in the water. Send help by land, sea wracked with storms." Chilling.
@3Cassp Whoa. I definitely did not know that. That's both really cool and kind of scary; I hope people don't come to this video expecting insightful analysis and instead get me...
I remember after reading AFFC and i thought it was boring, but it wasn't until later that it sunk in especially the Arya chapters. Westeros to Dany is a strange far away land that she has never been to & knows nowt about, i don't really blame her for not going and also Dany like all leaders messed up the way they all do...She got comfortable. I'm with you on the Ironborn, i don't give a fig about them.
This i sfilmed in a mirror? I love this series. I did it for a school porject 'take notes' I didn't. I have like a page of notes, mostly dissing Cersei, and 'god I'm so happy Jeoffery is dead.'
Telelli, What do you think of Tyrion's relationship with Penny? I think she is his daughter, which would answer what happen to Tysha... I can give you some of the clues that leads me to believe this. Just really read page 434 (when penny talks about her dad, mother and brother).
Hi, Telelli! Awesome points on the new book. I think the Seven are useless because they are aspects of The God of Death/or the Many Faced God. He/She only responds to those who ask for death... release... The first men were from across the sea thousands of years ago, so why wouldn't the god/gods follow them. They have just lost the connection that the statues had to the Many-Faced God. Not to mention the others may not be evil, but being used for evil.
@ProfoundVirgin Dude, please grow up... Telelli is an awesome person who doesn't need your crude comments. Comment on her personality, her insight in the book, her intelligent and well put together review. Thumbs down!
@ProfoundVirgin Dude, please grow up... Telelli is an awesome person who doesn't need your crude comments. Comment on her personality, her insight in the book, her intelligent and well put together review. Thumbs down!
I think R'hollor is the only religion worth following in all of Westeros, because really the old gods never do anything for anybody. And Melisandre is just awesome I love her. I think Jon is dead, because George RR is a cruel man. Varys and Arya are my favorite characters, Varys that sneaky spider was hiding Aegon all those years and no one knew, he is the only one who truly cares about the realm I LOVE VARYS
assuming jon snow will be azor ahai, i wonder if he will be transformed or changed in some way. if so maybe ghost will with him, maybe ghost will become big enough to be mounted, that would be cool. im literally thinking a giant flaming wolf charging through the snow with a rider on its back.
@3Cassp I don't think he is Azor Ahai,yeah i think Jon is dead, I don't even think Daenerys is the one. I say Bran he has powers and the three eyed crow will teach him
Always hilarious to see impatient people whine about that nothing is happening or that the story isn't moving along fast enough. All of us aren't nervous morons that need to be babied with big event after big event. Some of us enjoy a slower, character driven story. The rest can go read things like Angels & Demons.
hey love the review!! lots of good points, one thing i thought u might have missed was the progression of Reek to Theon! i thoght it was interesting how broken down theon was by the bastard of bolton, whom btw is turning out to be a pretty harsh villian.
Victarion is pretty bad ass and i think he will have a bigger role next book.
Also also Jon Snow will be reborn as azor ahai......just saying...possibility??
...... claim made by jon connigton). i also agree wih you about Daario gold teeth and all. last thing i have to say is I found it strange that lord varys is really shown in the act of killing in ser kevin's pov. And he monolouges his reasons (weird that G RR M takes an actual stance with varys to put away doubt). oh and little finger (wasn't in the book, i know) whaaaaaat.....got good...goosed me i'd say. and arya i kenw that the blindness was temp.
R+L=J. when i head the name jon connington and learned that he and prince rhaeger had been best friends in the past i thought " thats probably for whom jon snow was named" also when the men at the wall attacked jon i remembered that the only man ghost bared his teeth to was the skin changer with the boar (the man addresed jon as "brother" which implies that he new jon to be a warg. earlier it had been establish that a skinchangers could occupy the skin of a man.
@DustyWulf1 it seemed to me that the men that attacked jon were either not fully willing or not in their right minds to carry out the task or killing their sworn brother and lord commander. i do hope jon is returned safely to us in the next book and i don't give two turtle shits for stannis (honorable and just as he is) nor the red witch nor any of the southron lords and ladys for that matter. and i agree that there is only one targaryan and it is daenerys (not to say i don't believe the...
@3Cassp i think so too. i was thinking he might have jumped from one body to another. or maybe those guys are just assholes. i'm just looking for a better reason that a simple betrayle so.... ideas?
it's something that simply can't be explained, there just isn't enough information. though you did make a good point with ghost going nuts at the skinchanger, he may have had something to do with the plotting of the murder. I really doubt a character that we know barely anything about is just going to waltz right in and kill jon, I mean jon is a fellow skin changer, why would he kill him?
@telelli totally agree about it being a good book, only negatives really was....the dany chapters!!! ugh!! lol...she does need to hurry up a bit. I felt like there was too much going on with the "goldtooth" guy lol. the names in the dany chapters also finda made it difficult to read. Loved all the white harbor, davos, theon/reek chapters. lots of cool stuff going on. (just not with dany haha) But i love connington and little aegon!! new lords of the stormlands already, and in one book too!
i hope grrm does something with the iron born that makes me slightly want them to succeed. because as it stands i wouldn't care less if they all straight up died of scurvy or something, theon is the only ironborn i somewhat enjoy and hes hardly ironborn. and asha, when she was running through the woods from stannis' men i was like woo now shes gonna die, now i dont have to read her boring PoV. seriously the most exciting parts of the chapters are the parts where i think they might die.
You did not mention the Reek chapters! but very good video, I enjoyed the book as much as you although I actually like Asha and the Ironborn (well Victarion seems like a douche but in a badass way) Dont worry about Jon Snow, no way he is dead! he will be Azor Ahai reborn. it is known.
@DustyWulf1 well ... to keep it short, it is said azor ahai will be reborn amidst a bloody star, salt, and smoke, right? A star is the sigil of the guy who is torn up by the giant right before Jon is stabbed, salt from Bowen Marsh's tears, and smoke ... well, Jon's wounds were said to be smoking. I think it's really obvious Melisandre will revive him. Less likely theory is he will use warg powers to escape death somehow
@souldude81 I have heard a lot of people saying how much they didn't like this book, and there were definitely slow parts (Daenerys, Jon Connington, and Stannis-related chapters), but the Tyrion and Theon arcs were so interesting! Plus there was a lot of build-up and backstory in this book that I enjoyed.
there is theory that claims( pretty popular among some fans) there are no gods at all in the world of a sonf of ice and fire. there is just magic and people that mistakes that as the work of gods. there is evidence enough in bran's chapters.

I'm half way through feast for crows.Someone told me Arya does some awesome things. Right now she's in a monastery in Bravos. When does Arya become kick ass? (Just a hint is all i'm asking.) I'm at the beginning of her rise?
I have this weard feeling that this head guy in the monistary is going to teach Arya magic to counter Stannises side kick 'Melisandre.' Yes,no, maybe?

i agree that arya chapters are usually among the best, i'm appalled at you're quick dismissal of reek chapters.APPALLED D=!!
the style of writing andthe POV presented in said chapter diverged sharply from the rest, where most others are varying shades of gray fighting to attain or preserve power, Reek's was that of a man reduced to so little, so pathetic that i felt as if a bucket of cold water splashed on my face as i read it, just from the shudders i got while reading them. like another world

@zjeffe I hate the Boltons; why does george r.r martin punish the likeable houses so much (starks, tullys, greyjoys) while he allows the evil houses (lannisters, boltons, freys) to win? I've read up to the later section of book three and the only loss the Lannisters seem to have suffered was *SPOILER* the death of Joffrey, while the Starks and the northern armies are nearly wiped out. Why is martin doing this?
AntiTroll101 1 month ago
@AntiTroll101 because it's not typical fantasy? I enjoy the non-standardized approach GRRM uses, but i agree with you.. losing Jon after the other starks being strewn and killed was tought to deal with. I also wouldn't say that the Lannister's are suffering no negativity. Let's see - Tywin is dead, Jaime lost his sword hand and is in love with a huge beastly woman, Cersei is being lead naked through the city and could possibly be put to death after her trial. - I can't wait 6 years for the next

Hey, nice review :) Just a few opinions: In the ASOIAF forums it has been discussed that Aegon may not be Aegon Targaryen but Aegon Blackfyre, which would be not only more plausible than 'baby-switching', it would also be more interesting and would better explain the Golden Company breaking contract. About Jon, I think I'd rather he stay dead if for no other reason than I'm tired of all the fake deaths =/ Agree with you on Arya, not so much on Tyrion.
By the way, marry me.

You seem well verse in this series, so maybe I could bounce a question off of you. I just finished this book last night and was slightly confused about the end of Arya's POV from the book.
As you know she was set upon a guy to kill and she does so, but I'm not sure I understand how she did it. Could you maybe a explain a little the significance of how a switch of a coin killed him?
Keep up the good work and I hope you do an episode by episode review of the second season. If you have the tim

@Usurpationblitz What Arya did was this: she used the cutpursing as a ruse to swap a coin the man had with one she had poisoned in the House of Black and White; the insurer bit all the coins he was offered to verify their authenticity, so when he bit the coin, the Many Faced God gave him his gift.

What are your feelings about Quentyn Martell and his tragic fate? I feel he was an underutilized character who had a lot of potential if he survived. I also agree with his suicide plan to capture one of the dragons. After all, he did travel half the world only to be denied?? What do you think?

Just sayin, that if Jon is dead, Melisandre is a red priest, and can bring him back to life. But not without Kings blood since he the third head of the dragon. She could use Stannis, Crasters baby or Rayners baby to bring him back.

COMPLETELY agree about Dany. When Xaro offered Dany 13 ships to sail back to Westeros and she refused, I wanted to slap her more than any character I've ever read about (and her obsession with Daario was borderline Bella/Edward annoying). Also, I'm near 100% sure Aegon is fake. Dany was earlier told a prophecy about a "mummer's dragon", and after it was shown, she was called the "slayer of lies". Makes me think Aegon is fake and Dany will unmask him.
Great review, and oh yeah, Team Sansa!

I read somewhere that Jon will probably warg himself into Ghost as his body dies. Now, where his spirit will go...? I don't know. But the precedent was established in the prologue and expounded upon in the Bran chapter. I don't think he's dead, either. I'm worried that Arya gets darker and darker as the series progresses. I think Bran has had a presence in the book all along in the Weirwood as he reaches back through time and dreams. When will Howland Reed show up? Is Benjen Stark Coldhands?

@darthchris19 Oh he most definitely will make it to the end.

Littlefinger plans on rallying the Arryns with Sansa, Varys means to sit Aegon on the throne, Dorne will join them and many will come to his call. The Others will attack with their wights and Dany will finally depart for Westeros.

I was wondering, how do you think the series will end? here's my theory... Jon Snow is clearly Azor Ahai reborn. and Longclaw will be the new Lightbringer. which means Jon is the offspring of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. Also, Bran will be Bran the Builder (and rebuild Winterfell and the Wall, which will collapse). Jon will be the king of Westeros once he marries Daenerys Targaryen and kills Aegon in 1v1 combat. Davos will kill Ramsey, Stannis (or Howland Reed) will kill Roose Bolton.

Re: religions, I don't think any of them really work. The Seven don't do anything, the Old Gods are actually Green Seers chilling out under trees in the North, and as for R'Hollor, I think that blood magic is just a thing that works in this world and that the Red Priests are a religion that grew up around that fact.

But do they really see the future? To me it seems like they get glimpses of what could be, but by seeing this they set things into motion that should not have been. Ask Stannis if you don't believe me. As for Jon, I'm convinced he'll be alive in ghost until a certain dragon queen comes to kick some undead ass.

Hi, Telelli! Awesome points on the new book. I think the Seven are useless because they are aspects of The God of Death/or the Many Faced God. He/She only responds to those who ask for death... release... The first men were from across the sea thousands of years ago, so why wouldn't the god/gods follow them. They have just lost the connection that the statues had to the Many-Faced God. Not to mention the others may not be evil, but being used for evil.

I think R'hollor is the only religion worth following in all of Westeros, because really the old gods never do anything for anybody. And Melisandre is just awesome I love her. I think Jon is dead, because George RR is a cruel man.

it's something that simply can't be explained, there just isn't enough information. though you did make a good point with ghost going nuts at the skinchanger, he may have had something to do with the plotting of the murder.
