Catching Up

So it's about time we caught up with events in Clash of Kings, don't you think? I've read through the chapter where Tyrion disposes of Janos Slynt. Clearly Cersei is not going to tolerate this indefinitely. I anticipate a counter-move or two on her part.

Robb is holding together his warhost with difficulty. I anticipate trouble within his own ranks. He is, after all, like Joffrey, a boy king. Many of these men will not necessarily remain loyal through thick and thin. I suspect deep trouble for Robb ahead.

Arya is headed home, but she's definitely not going to make it there. The confrontation between the gold-cloaks and Yoren was really cool. Interesting that this gang of ne'er-do-wells banded together against the gold-cloaks. But they're not out of the woods yet either. I don't anticipate Arya getting through this challenge unscathed. And I don't see her cooling her heals in Winterfell either. I'm really curious to see what will happen in her next chapter, which happens to be coming right up!
