After the second and third episodes were an improvement over the first episode (which I thought was really good despite how slow it got) with stronger character depth and solid writing, Book of the Stranger continues the high standards. Sure, we haven't seen more of Arya's story-arc where she got her sight back and decides to have no name, but this episode is where Season 6 might get more and more compelling.
The story remains as interesting and has some really effective moments were Sansa and Jon Snow reunite and vow to rescue Rickon Stark after receiving a letter from Ramsay Bolton along with the finale where Daenerys Targaryen taking charge of all the khalasars recalls her story elements of the beginning of the first season and does so perfectly. The writing is at the high standards left by Home and Oathbreaker and the performances are still superb with Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, and Sophie Turner giving out some of their best acting. The directing is stupendous, the pacing takes it time to bring some depth and it succeeds, the editing is solid, the sets and scenery are still lavish, and Ramin Djawadi continues to bring some beautifully well-done atmosphere and some exemplary emotion to it (OK, I'm not British, but I always wanted to use that word).
Overall, Book of the Stranger continues where the last two episodes left off. It's engaging, fiery, and touching. Highly recommended! :)
