Isle Of Faces
by Isle of Faces
Few fandoms can even be compared with that of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series. The fandom is full of creative greats supplying essays, videos, podcasts and more. On the Isle of Faces, I turn the camera, or mic rather, back on them, and take the opportunity to highlight who these Fandom Greats are as people, and how they came to ASOIAF in the first place

Sporcle Spectacular: Forging the Five IV
It is true. After much gib-gab and mucking about, I actually managed to get back in front of a mic and talk some bollocks. And what bollocks it was! There's mumbling, stumbling, and more than a fair share of crumbling (in terms of ASOIAF knowledge, not spines...so far) In case you forgot: These...

-
Scraps and Scrolls- TWOW Aeron I/ The Forsaken
Thunderbolts. Lightning. Very very...well you know the rest. Actually, there's no thunderbolts or lightning in this chapter but there may as well be as we enter perhaps the darkest chapter in all ASOIAF. Down in the depths of shadow we reunite with Aeron as he undergoes...quite a bit. Ancient...

Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 19
Well chums, we did it. Somehow, someway, we have come to the grand finale of this reread project, and what a time it's been! How do we note such an occasion? With a 5 hour podcast last week, and a 4.5 hour one this time. We're going out with a bang!! Before we do the mushy stuff three chapters...

FIVE HOURS! Five hours long! It is the biggest episode of the Isle of Faces EVER! BY MILES!!

The end begins in truth this week, and we welcome it with another 3-hour-plus corker for you all. Specifically, this week is Feast week as we wave goodbye to all four POVs amidst chapters full of horror, fanaticism, and cliffhangers a-plenty. Fires are lit up in the snowy north as Asha watches…
more -
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 16
This week, a breather. By which I mean we come in at just under three hours! The end of the Dance keeps coming as we hit double Meereen, have double returns, and one hell of a big event in the North. Today we start large as Jon Snow opens the Wall and allows the wildlings to finally enter the…
more -
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 15
How do you follow up the longest ever episode? By making the second longest ever episodes I guess! Yes it seems the end of Dance is really going to put us through our paces as the Isle has another three and a half hours of boogie time. And how to follow the big events of last week? By filling in...
-
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 14
It's here! THE RECORD-BREAKER! Yes it is the longest-ever episode on the Isle of Faces with nearly FOUR HOURS of content for you to consume. And why so much chin-wagging?

-
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 13

-
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 12
It's a very special reunion day here on the Isle. Firstly we get just our second Asha chapter as true winter lands and scatters all Stannis's royal plans to the winds. In Meereen the grand moment arrives for Quentyn as his long journey ends in front of Daenerys Targaryen, herself just hours from...

A lockdown plea from the Isle of Faces
The United Kingdom is back in its third lockdown. We need to do this one properly. This is a short, simple message from myself begging my fellow countrymen (and all those across the world) to stay home wherever possible and do this lockdown PROPERLY. We've been given another chance, let's not…

-
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD10
It felt like it half-killed me to get it ready for you. But it is HERE and it is A MONSTER. Welcome, to the longest-ever episode of the Isle of Faces!! And why the incredible length? Because today we have not one but two of the most important chapters of the entire book and two of the major...
-
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD9
We return to our four chapter format today. Know how I know? Because we have what might be our longest ever episode at over THREE HOURS! What's the reason for that? Is it Daenerys having to rethink strategy when she learns of Astapor's fate? Is it our sickly episode of At Home with the Boltons?…
more -
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 8
It's another three chapter week as we hit Volantis for the longest outing of the book. Tyrion starts a new part of his journey (again) and Jorah gets owned by the Widow (ha!). Back in Westeros Jon is having a rough time in the training yard, a harder time reading letters, and the hardest time…
more -
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 7
Welcome to a brand new era of the Dance! For one day only we abandon the mighty triforce to focus on not one but TWO brand new POVs, with a second chapter for a fella we've only just met. Against a backdrop of establishing what's coming to Meereen in the second act we see Tyrion's suggestions…
more -
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 6
Somehow, the episodes just keep getting longer and the chapters just keep getting important....er. This week on Scraps and Scrolls we have two highs of ultimate leadership, self-sacrifice, King & Queenship, and the ultimate importance of duty above all else. But to offset that we also have two...
-
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD5
We hit the quarterish mark of Dance by returning to our normal four chapter slate, and we've got our big three mixed with a fan fave today. War comes to Meereen from every angle at the same time war grows in the north, and it's just a little bit influenced by Jon Snow. Things get real creepy- and...
-
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 4
You think the Dance episodes have been monsters so far? You've seen nothing yet! On today's FIVE chapter episode we have one of the most incredible runs in all ASOIAF in terms of major events.

-
Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 3
It's double trouble as we get our first dual chapters from a POV. Join Jon waving goodbye to friends and making himself feel better with Longclaw. Watch Tyrion embark on a new and even more important part of his journey. Forget the first two entirely because DAVOS IS BACK. Where is he? What's he...
-
Scraps and Scrolls-ADWD II
We started Dance off with a monster episode, so why change the format? Today, over the course of nearly three hours, the Isle and its Green Folk are introduced to grown-up Jon and his many responsibilities. Stannis leans over a map and broods, Melisandre says some something freaky. It's all new!…

THE ISLE OF FACES RETURNS! Come one, come all, back to our beloved Isle after a long layoff. Yes, Valar Rereadis has restarted and we've finally come to the final book of our grand project. Come for the friendship, stay for the most evil chapter of them all. Make no mistake, Dance starts as it...
-
Scraps and Scrolls-A Dance With Dragons Prepper
How's the break treating you all? Need refreshing about Dance before we get there? Can't quite remember who's supposed to be ruling or where that person was sailing? There's dragons right? Yes. Both physically and thematically? Sure. Wait, run it by me again, are we talking about Jon? No, Aegon....

Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis AFFC 12
WE DID IT! Light the fireworks and ring the bells, here we wave goodbye to an absolutely fantastic, perfectly singular book in our series. There really is nothing quite like Feast. No surprise it requires our biggest episode EVER. Today I discuss the brilliance of its anti-war message, the joy of...
-
Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis AFFC 11
We are reaching the endzone, and it shows in today's monster episode. We begin with heading back to Riverrun and saying hi to Brynden, Edmure, and Jaime's dark side. Cersei completely outdoes him as she practices her baseball swing with a lute. Then we get back to the goodbyes as we rejoin the...
-
Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis AFFC 10
I could talk about us reaching double figures, about saying goodbye to Arya as she says goodbye to sight (and Dareon). There's much to say about Brienne celebrating the celebrated death of Loras. The funeral of Aemon Targaryen is tempting as a topic, but if I'm honest none of them matter. Not…
more -
Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis AFFC 9
Does Jaime want a Brienne sandwich or a Cersei sandwich? My friends, put your hands together. Yes the three biggest characters of the book unite for today's episode where Jaime hunts down Lancel in Darry, Brienne finds a living ghost on the beautiful Quiet Isle, Cersei SOMEHOW gets even worse…
more -
Scraps and Scrolls- Valar Rereadis AFFC 8
You might think only three chapters would mean less to talk about. And you'd be wrong. Today we reach MAJOR plot turning points for three different povs and for three different areas of Westeros. Jaime leaves King's Landing to bring justice to the Riverlands as Mr Goldenhand. Cersei meets the...
