Welcome to A Song of Dan and Josh, the show where myself and FanSided.com’s own Josh Hill go through each and every chapter of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga, analyzing and enjoying them one at a time.

It’s the first episode of the new year, and we’re kicking off 2019 with a look at the first chapter of A Clash of Kings: the prologue. Let’s get into it!
This is a jam-packed chapter. Here’re some of the topics we hit:
- In retrospect, opening a sequel to a popular book with a group of entirely new characters was a ballsy move. What does Song of Ice and Fire newbie Josh make of it?
- Several heavy-hitters are introduced here, including Davos Seaworth, Stannis Baratheon and Melisnadre of Asshai. How do these characters come off in their debuts?
- In A Clash of Kings, Martin starts making magic a bigger part of the story. How does he finesse the transition?
- How is Melisandre like Jim Jones?
Game on.
