“A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone.” Our favorite dwarf is back, and brings with him centuries of history, paragraphs of wisdom, and lots of Targaryen foreshadowing. Cam examines Tyrion and Jon’s growing relationship in this chapter, particularly as a model of true male friendship. We both spotted some exciting Dany parallels, and Maggie breaks down a prophetic line in Tyrion’s memory of the dragon skulls in the crypt at King’s Landing: leading us to ask ourselves who the “last of the Targaryen dragons” truly are. We examine Tyrion’s place in the narrative, where Cam positions the dwarf as a kind of “bridge”: between characters, histories, places, and future generations.
