Sometimes I wonder why they didn't put things in the show. Davos searching Rickon interests me. Man oh man. I also wonder where he has to search. Where could be scary? Harrenhal?

Harrenhal?"It can't be Harrenhall. Lord Manderly said he needs a smuggler who's sailed in dangerous waters before and he said he can't use his own men because they can only sail the rivers. So the mysterious place is definitely an island. The other clue is the last sentense to the chapter: But there were other places in this world where men were known to break their fast on human flesh. So it's an island full of cannibals. I'm 95% sure I've heard about an island like that in the previous books, maybe one of Old Nan's tales or something like that, I'll go do some research.
But boy, oh, boy! Davos's chapters just turned 180 degrees in the excitement department and went from boring and casual to HOLY F*CK, IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?!
Edit: I knew it! The island is Skagos. Still not sure who and when said the people there are cannibals, though, and I'm even less sure why I remember that.
"The worst part is not dying, it's not knowing when or how.""There's much and more you southrons do not know about the north." ← definitely true!
I was not expecting this! I slightly feel bad for Lord Wyman → "Foes and false friends are all around me, Lord Davos. They infest my city like roaches, and at night I feel them crawling over me."
Although I like Davos as a character, his chapters are boring at times. He seems to spend a lot of time on his internal monologue and his thoughts are repetitive. I enjoyed the twist in this chapter - did not see it coming at all.
