Summary

War grips the continent of Westeros. As Tyrion Lannister tries to take his strong-willed nephew in hand in King’s Landing, Stannis Baratheon launches his own campaign to take the Iron Throne with the help of a mysterious priestess. In the east, Daenerys must lead her retinue through a desolate wasteland whilst beyond the Wall the Night’s Watch seeks the aid of a wildling.

Our Take

Confident and engaging. The plot moves, the stakes feel real, and the hour flies by.
