Hello and welcome 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, it's child murder, lord murder and the all-but-fall of the North. Cheery Stark stuff.

This week, we:

- Analyze Rickard Karstark, his reasons and his weak-ass rationale for child murder

- See how Robb Stark is reacting emotionally to the fall of his kingdom

- Dread alongside of Catelyn at the loss of the Karstarks and what this means for the Stark cause

- Revel (slightly) in Robb Stark's frontier justice but realize that ultimately one execution won't right all the wrongs in the world

- See the false ray of hope in Jeyne's hips by chapter's end

- Discuss whether Robb was right here

Next week: Jaime does some swordplay with Brienne. Not a metaphor. (But it is)
