    “I dreamt… many things,” she murmured, eyes turning murky. “The seasons keep turning, and the long summer draws near…”
    “Then, can you tell me?” Rhaella pressed. “What will become of me?”
    The woodswitch raised her head, and her eyes were now clear but full of pity.
    “Knowing will do you no good, princess.”

      Excellent chapter. Rhaella is becoming a spy and doesn’t even realize it. Her heart is hardening too, if she’s even contemplating marriage and killing her future spouse.

      Jon being south of the Wall is a big step up. Going south and then swinging north to visit the Wall was clever, as opposed to knocking in the door from the wrong side. Having the sharks push his raft was hilarious. I was glad to see the kraken is still out there, waiting for its chance to even the score.

      Visiting Aemon is even smarter. He’ll know how to handle things. Heck, he may give Jon a letter for Aegon V.

      Tormund wanting to be a knight, maybe a lord, made me laugh. In the original timeline he sort of did that with his Hall. But Ser Tormund has a nice ring to it.

      Thanks for the chapter!

      It’s interesting that it seems like Jon’s conversion into a White Walker was far enough along when Rhaella gave him her cloak that the wall still repels him.

      Why is Jon still going with “Jon Snow”? He is no longer the bastard on Winterfell. As the Bloodraven said, isn’t this an opportunity to be something different? Then why tie yourself down with a name that’s not relevant in this world? If someone asks who’s bastard he is, what is he going to say?

        I don’t know if it will go this way but I think he should claim he’s blood raven’s bastard

          Why claim to be bastard at all and carry the baggage associated with it? Why not take a new name and start with a clean slate?

        Noble Houses keep an account of their trueborn members, and even maesters log that. His only two options are A) being a bastard (believable), or pretending to be a very obscure line of noblemen/simple commoner (not so believable)
