The coolest part about this chapter is that it reminded me how awesome the Sansa growth arc is in the books. In the TV show -she is limited to mere jibes and its very sad and meek.
I wonder what role the "winged knights" will have after the death of Sweetrobin. Or will sweetrobin die even before the end of the tournament ?

I was puzzled at this paragraph; am I missing some meaning or context here, or is this simply just a typo?
Alayne could not help but shutter. Myranda’s husband had died when he was making love with her. “Those Sistermen who came in yesterday were gallant,” she said, to change the subject. “If you don’t like Ser Ossifer or Ser Uther, marry one of them instead. I thought the youngest one was very handsome.”
Shouldn't that be shudder?

To add to that, I found this interesting, regarding a previous Sansa dog/Hound reference.......
'' I will dream a sweet dream, and when I wake there will be dogs barking, women gossiping beside the well, swords ringing in the yard.''
Compared with......
'' Outside the window she could hear the laughter of the washerwomen at the well, the din of steel on steel from the ward where the knights were at their drills. Good sounds.''
So not only is there no mention of Sandor/hounds/dogs, this seems to me another point of note. Sansa's sweet dream has been realised without the dog references.
I gotta say, I was a little disappointed with this. It was one of the things I was looking out for having missed it on first read, and have since posted with some people that helped me gain a greater understanding of that storyline. Any thoughts on the apparent lack of Sandor/dog/Hound quotes/references ?
Oh well, I still enjoyed the chapter immensely !

The timing of this release is interesting and reminds me of when he released the Mercy chapter. But I think instead of wanting to show the scene in the book before we see it on the show, like with the Mercy chapter, I think he may have released this Alayne chapter now to show that the Sansa storyline in the show is going to be a departure. Or at least he isn't taking Sansa North just yet or in the same way as the show.
Exciting!

I forgotten how good Sansa chapters had gotten.
