Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through\xa0A Song of Ice and Fire\xa0one chapter a week!\nIn this episode,\xa0an exiled widowed teenager stranded in the wasteland is reborn as the Mother of Dragons. Now that\u2019s how you end a book.\nThis week, we:\n- Frame the dragonbirth as as religious experience, not only for the characters but for us, the audience\n- Break down the chapter's structure in terms of what Dany is planning v. what George reveals to us\n- Discuss how Dany's character arc and the larger forces of destiny beautifully harmonize\n- Praise Dany's politics (for now) as she takes command of the khalasar in the name of equality and transformation\n- Try and fail to explain the magic at work in Drogo's funeral pyre\nNext week: no regular episode, but our $5+ patrons will get our look back in AGOT--what we liked, what we didn't, what we learned. In two weeks, the normal cast resumes with the Prologue to A Clash of Kings. Thanks and love to everyone who's listened throughout book one!!\nOur patreon:\xa0www.patreon.com/NotACastASOIAF\nOur twitter:\xa0twitter.com/NotACastASOIAF\nOur facebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/groups/289889118235797/\nOur youtube page:\xa0www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmDfPdG\u2026iew_as=subscriber\nEmmett's twitter:\xa0twitter.com/PoorQuentyn\nJeff's twitter:\xa0twitter.com/BryndenBFish
