Episode 114: A CLASH OF KINGS, DAENERYS III: "The Fiery Ladder"

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!   In this episode, Daenerys gets rejected by the Pureborn, gets manipulated by Xaro and watches a really fun magic show. Oh, and Quaithe is there. Yay?   This week, we:    - Talk about GRRM's worldview vs Tolkien's. - Get into the Pureborn and what boredom and wealth do to the Pureborn (and people) - Demonstrate that Xaro is a total POS - Talk about the rise of magic and what that means - Roll our eyes at Quaithe and Jorah - Answer the question as to what would have happened if Dany went to Asshai   Next week: Myrcella goes to Dorne, and a minor plot-point but the city erupts in riot in ACOK, Tyrion IX!   Our patreon: www.patreon.com/NotACastASOIAF   Our twitter: twitter.com/NotACastASOIAF   Our facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/289889118235797/   Our youtube page: www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmDfPdG…iew_as=subscriber   Emmett's twitter: twitter.com/PoorQuentyn   Jeff's twitter: twitter.com/BryndenBFish
