Each week, CliqueClack provides folks that are trying to read George R. R. Martin’s epic A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels along with the HBO series a little help. For as long as HBO provides us with screeners, we’ll help provide the point in the novels that you should have read through to keep ahead of each episode. As I mentioned last week, with all of the show’s (wonderful) deviations from the books, it can be a difficult task. But we’ve got you covered.

My goal is to make these posts as spoiler-free as possible, just sharing the information on which chapter you need to read though in order to stay ahead. Also, I’ll be leaning on Tower of the Hand, a great reference for fans of ASOIF and Game of Thrones — their spoiler filters are ingenious — as a touchstone for which chapter I’m referring to.

For the episode “Walk of Punishment,” one would need to have read through Chapter 36, Catelyn IV. After this week’s “sliding back into” the world of Westeros, things definitely begin to pick up (and you just wait for next week).

Check out previous posts in the Season Three Game of Thrones Readalong series:
