      Hey Lauren, the point about the red stone doorway at 9:56 is from Fires of Heaven, that a spoiler from book 5? Maybe I missed the spoiler warning but at the beginning of the video it says spoilers from book 4, not 5. Sorry if I missed something.

    The Battle of the Two Rivers is one of my favorite scenes - top 5 for sure. The video you made about it a few years ago really brought it to life. I can't wait to see it play out on screen! I really hope they do it justice.
