* Qyburn, already a creepy little bastard in canon, is in this story [[CompositeCharacter combined]] with ''Mr. Sinister''. Worse, he's now working for Cersei and has offered her a gift -- Maegor the Cruel's magical armor, Ultron, which he believes he can bring to life.
** And to bring it to life, he claims he can summon Jaime's soul back from the dead to power the armor. Which, considering the audience knows Jaime is alive and well, means that either Qyburn will summon someone/thing else entirely different...or Jaime is shortly going to be in a lot of trouble and agony.

* The descriptions of the Braavosian nobility lusting over Arya, who may now be physically in her late teens but is still mentally ''ten years old,'' are awful.

* Somehow, the Others have managed to block the Children of the Forest from spying on them. Given the comments about a purple haze and Yondu's belief that a thrall is responsible, it's implied that Euron is the cause, which should give a warning about how powerful he is.

* When Brice tries to leave the gang, Adrian has him seized and beaten bloody. After the gang members suggest various things to do with him (including removing his eyes, tongue, and hands, or selling him as a SexSlave, or using him as a test subject for Phineas' experiments), Adrian ultimately just stabs him through the mouth into the brain. Giving us this story's first example of someone being KilledMidSentence, the narration just stopping as the blade hits home.

* Olenna Tyrell bluntly tells Jon that the Iron Throne is bent on wiping Ned Stark's rebellion, and since the North would never accept anyone other than a Stark leading them, the Lannisters have decided to fulfill Catelyn's greatest fear and make the Bastard of Winterfell the new Warden to the North. Jon almost vomits after hearing this.

* We get to see Adrian in action as the Vulture King as he attacks a group of Tyrell soldiers. His opening move involves swooping down and using his RazorWings to ''cut six of them in half at the torso''. The rest don't do much better, as he demonstrates just how dangerous the flight harness is.

* There's something unsettling about how Natasha thinks in her first POV. While able to process information quickly, that also extends to thinking through the Game of Thrones in a matter of moments, so that the moment Joffery thinks about killing them, she immediately starts thinking through how to survive by killing all enemies in the room, and solidify Jon's claim to the Iron Throne.
