Chapter Fifty-Three - Jon 7 - A Clash of Kings | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)

Jon and company head into the Frostfangs. Jon spies on the wildlings through Ghost's eyes. Ghost is hurt, but Qhorin is happy that they’ve seen enough and they high-tail it back toward the remainder of the Night's Watch. Simon and Mackelly throw another log on the campfire.
Chapter Review:
Jon Snow speaks with Qhorin Halfhand as they continue to climb through the Skirling Pass. Jon admits that he freed Ygritte. Qhorin isn’t mad. Qhorin said if he had really wanted her dead he would have had Ebben do it. This way, he was able to gauge Jon as a man. They also discuss Mance Rayder. He was born a wildling, but became a great ranger. His treason was just going home.
Jon sleeps while Ghost hunts. In his dreams, Jon speaks with Bran who speaks through a weirwood tree. Bran tells Jon to open his third eye to see better. At that point, Jon enters Ghost’s mind and sees the wildling camp further ahead. It’s vast and he sees a lack of discipline, but some military training going on. He also sees a giant riding a mammoth. An eagle swoops down and attacks Ghost, Jon wakes with a yelp.
Qhorin questions Jon at length about his dream. They continue toward the wildlings, but en route, they see Ghost injured with talon marks on his back. They patch him up and Qhorin announces that they have seen enough. They head back down the pass and leave Squire Dalbridge to hold the choke point with as many arrows as they have.
