Looking at Arya Stark in The Winds of Winter, yolkboy and Lady Gwyn analyse Arya in her new role with Izembaro. The recent gift chapter reveals themes of sexuality, identity and (as the chapter title indicates) mercy. Using specially arranged readings to present key sections, we discuss Arya's identity, the role she plays in "The Bloody Hand" and why we think Needle makes an appearance late in the chapter. We also offer our unique speculation about Arya's future and a new role her Faceless Men training could be preparing her for.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
