On this week's supersized episode of The Lettuce Podcast, Charlotte and Laura chat about A Feast for Crows, the 4th novel in George R. R. Martin's epic A Song of Ice and Fire series. They also discuss seasons 4 and 5 of HBO's Game of Thrones and compare to the source material. This journey back to Westeros finds the girls chatting about some new regions (Dorne and the Iron Isles), Cersei's grip on reality, and Samwell's romantic life. Charlotte enjoys watching Sansa get more of a backbone in the books, but dislikes her storyline in the TV series. Laura find Dorne to be a mysterious and interesting setting, and the Iron Isles to be a bore. Together the girls wonder about the fate of Brienne, argue about the moral compass of Tywin Lannister, and question the motives of Littlefinger. Was the ommission of beloved characters such as Daenarys and Tyrion a mistake? Does A Feast for Crows offer a satisfying plot? And will Jaime newfound independence from Cersei bring him success? All this and more is discussed on this week's episode!
For the girls' favorite section, Fun & Games, they begin by taking a quiz to determine their GoT soul mates. They also take turns selecting favorite characters and predicting where they think the ASOIF series will take them. Play along and leave your GoT soulmates and predictions in the comments!
Looking for a podtail to sip on while you listen? Laura suggests finding a sweet, heavy red wine (like a Dornish Red arbor vintage) or trying out one of Ommegang Brewery's special Game of Thrones beers.
