Snark Squad Pod #029 – A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin

Previously: We watched Annihilation and it was fucking weird but we think we liked it? Question mark?

Marines: Reading these books feels like an accomplishment, I’m not gonna lie. Perhaps especially this, the third book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, which also happens to be the biggest so far. I promise we have feelings about the book besides “long” and “seriously, this is so long,” but I thought I’d get us all on the same page up at the top. 

Joining us once again is our very own Democracy Diva, khaleesi of all things foreshadowing and prophecy. You can find her on Twitterher hilarious fashion blog, or, you know, elsewhere on this very site

We are all three enjoying our experience overall, though to different degrees. In this episode, we talk a little more about Martin’s weaknesses, end games for the series, the attractiveness of a blue forked beard, and the morally gray. 

Also in this episode? We announce that we’ve launched a Patreon! There are poll, pen pal, and bonus content perks for your support, and of course, our forever gratitude. 

Check it all out:

I'm a 30-something south Floridan who loves the beach but cannot swim. Such is my life, full of small contradictions and little trivialities. My main life goals are never to take life too seriously, but to do everything I attempt seriously well. After that, my life goals devolve into things like not wearing pants and eating all of the Zebra Cakes in the world. THE WORLD.
