practiceyourart George didn’t confirm it David Benioff did in the “inside the episode” to cover his own ass and not have fans revolt against him. Even if it does happen in the books the context will be massively different, probably during the war for the dawn, and it will probably actually be beneficial.
"Under it wore a stained white leather eye patch that reminded Theon of his uncle Euron. He’d wanted to rip it off Umber’s face, to make certain that underneath was only an empty socket, not a black eye shining with malice." - Love that quote.
jowston100 The symbolism between this chapter and the Forsaken is striking. Aeron and Theon are chained up by a King who captured them and both are possibly heading for an execution by order of those kings.
R jr this is such a good chapter. And yes, the prince of winter fell, the turncloak and Theon are three of my favorite chapters from Dwd. It’s hard to read the reek chapters for me, tho. I usually skip over that part lol
"Would that all the Lord's in the seven Kingdoms had but one neck. " That line gives me chills. You did a better job of this than Roy Doltrice, great work man. I didn't think it possible, but GRRM has gotten even better as a writer in the last decade. This chapter is pure fire. Stannis is a straight gangster I love it.
Dope worlds…..Stannis deserves the throne at least for a few months. He literally fights a war against all the odds. I never really liked him, because of the show portray but here his worlds touch me. He is a victor with all the mean of the world. I wish he gets the ultimate prize. Fuck Ramsay, who TaFuck you think you are. Stannis does not fear a bastard boy.
Kinda interesting how Theon is sorta supervising this girl who is going through the same sort of thing he did. We never hear her internal monologue like we hear Theon’s, but imagine how similar it would be. She’s been abducted, tortured, and forced to pretend to be someone she’s not to the point where she’s even insisting to herself that she truly is her false identity. Jeyne is Arya like Theon is Reek.
No, Jeyne doesn't believe she's Arya. She hasn't reached that point yet. Theon repeatedly tells her she must keep pretending to be Arya, because she knows she's Jeyne
waiting for Stannis to pull some Hannibal Barca shit in this book... outnumbered and stuck in hostile land but always destroying his foes with military genius.
Stannis is still alive in the books. That's pretty cool. I always thought that the show didn't do him justice when he went against Ramsay. I know he's supposed to lose against the bastard, but he barely put up a fight. If he had put up a good fight and lost anyway, I think we would have feared the force of Ramsay's army even more.
+levaithan325 D&D did the same with Roose. They had Ramsay Sue steal his schemes, for book Ramsay would never be as competent as he is shown in the series, exactly like Jon stole Stannis' war to take back the North. Why? Because they liked the other characters better.
***** Roose was the one holding the North under the Boltons. If he dies, everyone will turn on Ramsay because he is a goddamn lunatic. In the show he guy killed his father and fed his pregnant stepmother to his dogs and no one cared. Same with Jon, even in the show he is a DESERTER from the NIGHT'S WATCH. You know how the series started? With Ned beheading a DESERTER after he flees from the White Walkers north of the Wall. In the Books Jon makes the move of CALLING ALL WILDLINGS TO MARCH ON WINTERFELL first, only then he gets stabbed. He isn't betrayed, he is the betrayer, but in the show they made him the victim. They are setting Jon as the Action Medieval Hero, so he can't have any sort of fault. Again, same situation with Arya, the politically correct Master Assassin. The show has no morally grey area, you're either the super duper good guy, or the meanie bad villain. In the Books Stannis is one of the main characters that represent that grey area... so no wonder those shitty writers got him killed for Superhero Jon to take over.
ilyriandevil wow then why would you write such a detailed analysis? you might still be as big a loser as the rest of us. oh and wtf have you had published???
God the artwork of theon missing fingers covering him crying and the wolf comforting him. I love theon I feel so bad for him. Anyone who disagrees, he’s a kid who had every right to be confused about where his loyalties should lie. He made a mistake and he did not deserve to suffer this much for it. If he really didn’t kill Bran and Rickon, I would’ve forgiven him and took him home to heal.
This chapter shows exactly why Stannis is one of the best characters in the Books. Throughout his war career he always faced situations beyond his strength. Suddenly he learns that he is Robert's rightful heir and doesn't want the throne just to satisfy his ego. . . . or because it once belonged to his family (Daenerys). He had to be a POV character. To see a man handle such situations and get into his psyche would be really interesting. He is the epitome of game of thrones. I respect that Martin writes for himself, but I really can't understand(and I don't blame him for that) how a character like Bran ends up on the throne.
@@joeschmo4646 The character was ruined from the start of season 3. D&D conclude that he will be unlikeable, where he was in the books a complete character.
Bran will not be king in the books, it makes zero sense. That's not how royalty works. In the show He was basically picked by tyrion (who was prisoner at the time) and few lords agreed to it for no reason, because most of them didn't even knew who he is 😂 whole story is about war for throne, about heirs, about fights who have a right and claim to it...and than they gave it to some rsndom dude because he have a "story to tell"...bulshit
@@kristiankopera I totally agree. The story doesn’t leads up to Bran being King but I heard that GRRM confirmed this end but now I don’t think it’s true. Only the books will tell us the truth. The show is so miserable compared to asoiaf.
Stannis seriously needs to learn some social skills, he doesn't need to be cynical, but a bit more empathy and a little less bitterness would make more men want to follow him with loyalty.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII but thats the point of the character, how would a truthfull blunt kingship be like? it shows how much truth all the time anytime with anyone is ... not always the best social pursuit...
@@CrazyWork25 thats the show, in the books their is no evidence that stannis has relationship with Mel, and the shadow appeared when stannis was having a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from, he thought that he was going to face his brother on the battlefield
my husband is blind and he has been listening to all the audiobooks but now he needs book 6 winds of winter would anyone know were I could find the full audiobook I would really be grateful
What I like about this chapter is that Theon seems to have regained his wits. If only he had stayed with Rob instead of going to the iron islands she would’ve been an essential friend and support for the young wolf. Remember Rob is basically surrounded by old men and his mother in his counsel. Although he was a bit colder than Rob he had a certain cool shrewdness and healthy caution about him. I also feel like the whole Westerling incident would’ve been avoided because Dion would’ve been too paranoid about the whole thing and would’ve stuck by his side if he was injured. But of course these books are going to go just so smoothly often times the other chooses to subvert all expectations because I did not see that betrayal coming. If anything, Rob pretty much made Jon and Theon feel just like brothers. Especially with Theon when they went to war he forgot about any Differences of feeling being a ward or anything he treated him with respect. He trusted him above his mother‘s instincts.
Tanner Jablowski XD I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully he cauterizes that soon. What a nonsensical end that would be for a character whose been well established to be cautious and calculating.
What was the ending?! Why was the ground shaking? Could it be foes or reinforcements. If that was tyrion he would have sent another bird to winterfell, this time with false information. Theon is doing stannis a favor by telling him a lie about false arya. False Arya is an asset and a hostage to stannis as much as it will last, the protector of the lady of winterfell. If false arya gets killed the boltons hold to the north will always be poor.
Great job with the reading for the most part, the Stannis voice was a little too harsh, forced and cartooney sounding but everything else was pretty spot on. Especially Tycho Nestoris.
Loved the video. I forgot how much richer the books are than the show. Stannis is one of my favorite characters. Q: Do you think we have a long wait for the winds of winter?
The show is a joke at this point (except for Lyanna Mormont). Completely misses the point of creating a complex world, from geography to mythology to politics.
I haven't enjoyed watching it for a while now, but I do because I'd rather find out stuff that might be relevant to book theorizing first hand than by reading it on recaps. So I probably will, but not in a like "oh, this is still cool" kind of way. Just for the sake of investigation.
Well it's beginning to look like we might never get another installment in George's Song of Ice and Fire. Let's hope some creative fan puts something together and publishes it online. Anything would be better than HBO's ridiculous version.
OMG! this comment was 2 years ago and still no Winds of Winter, not even close to be released. I actually gave a book set with the first five books to my cousin at her birthday in early 2016, and I recall telling her "Read them now, cause we might be having the next one these next year" Ha, I feel so naive and dumb now...
Dumb and Dumber's writing: Stannis burns his daughter at a stake. GRRM's Genius writing: Stannis proclaims Shireen as his successor for the iron throne as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms if he is to be killed.
You have an amazing voice for this reading, i loved it. hope you are able to do more once we get our hands on that release date for Winds. subscribed (:
I often imagine, you know what I think would be scary? How we're expecting this great battle in the snow with some ingenious outcome. What if we miss the battle but come back in a Theon chapter with him captured again by Ramsay. This is months later. By then Ramsay had turned Stannis into another Reek.
No really, it is hard for me to imagine Stannis , Theon , Justin Massy , or even Asha with different voices now , I blame you xD , also looking forward for any other chapter reading .
I appreciate it man. Everything posted before the Mercy chapter, including this one, was recorded with a super cheap MXL condenser mic. Everything after Mercy was with an Avantone CV12 condenser. I plugged these into an audio interface (though you can get an amazing sounding USB condenser mic for cheap) and edited in either Pro Tools or Reaper (which is free).
Has Stannis conveniently forgotten the Council of 101 AC that set the precedent for women not inheriting the throne? He keeps talking about crowning Shireen after his death.
Stannis viewed rhaenaerya as a traitor, so it’s safe to assume he agrees with the councils decision. That being said, the council didn’t say no female can inherit the throne; it said no female can inherit when there’s an existing male claimant. However, no such male claimant exists. That’s why Stannis told Renly he’d make him his heir were he to support him. Once Renly died, Shireen was the only Baratheon heir left!
The question is why Bran and Bloodraven want Theon to be killed in front of a Weirwood. If he is sacrificed to the trees he will join the Weirwood net. What information could Bloodraven want that Theon has inside his head? He does have kingsblood after all so maybe they want him for that reason too. Also, "Take him out across the lake to the islet where the weirwood grows". Where is this islet Asha is talking about? They're in the Wolfswood but there are no islets in the middle of lakes marked on any maps of the North. Reminds me of the God's Eye.
There are theories saying that Theon will be sacrificed to the Old Gods of the North to resurrect Jon Snow, like how Shireen will be a sacrifice to the Lord of Light, a resurrection of Ice and Fire!
Its funny how stannis could totally be an okay King, even if he's extremely harsh with his judgment but he continuously goes out of his way to piss in everybody's cornflakes, and the fact that his daughter had greyscale means that the northmen will never follow him due to their beliefs on grayscale
Not digging the part where stannis cuts his thumb to sign the contract in blood. It comes off as just being edgy and very unlike Stannis. Stannis is a king, a battle commander, and a soldier in the midst of a siege that is facing severe weather troubles. Can he really afford to be slicing his thumb open? That could take weeks to heal. Will he be able to hold a sword or a shield with that hand now? Could he even tie with boots with it? What if it gets infected? Why bother when they had ink nearby?
Stannis commands from the rear, so being able to fight isn’t as necessary for him. Also considering how he sliced open his left hand, he could still hold a sword or lance. Shields aren’t as necessary when you’re in full plate armor, as Stannis would surely be in.
Also, I left out the reason he did it: it was purely theatrical, to show Tycho his conviction and resolve, so that he’d be more likely to reassure his masters of Stannis’ character and likelihood to repay his debts.

Alex Arias he’s one of my favorite characters

Theon is my favourite character.
His chapters were amazing in dance with dragons and this one is too. I’m sure his winds of winter chapters will be amazing too
And not going to simply die shooting his bow, great things are in store for him if I know GRRM.
I had to stop reading for a long while because of how intense his torture was. I'd wake up in the morning thinking about it. That's good art, though.

This reading sounds so right !!!
Thank you, glad you think so!
No really, it is hard for me to imagine Stannis , Theon , Justin Massy , or even Asha with different voices now , I blame you xD , also looking forward for any other chapter reading .
Thank you for recording this!!!
i like the aegon foreshadowing
Amazing voicing brother! I would listen to you reading all books starting from AGOT!
This is really good I hope to hear more.
Thank ya thank ya. There is oh so much more coming, I promise. I've really enjoyed making these.
Am I wrong in remembering the mandales didn't really kill sir Davos?? Been such a long time since I read this book.
They didn’t, they sent him to Skagos to get Rickon, but Stannis thinks he is dead
So, Bloodraven is clearly trying to help via the ravens.
It's bran already :) That's why the wind (trees) and raven say "Theon"
Another great reading, nice one man.
I definitely reckon Bran is talking through the mouths of those ravens.
Keith David as Stannis was an inspired choice
good job on the reading
29:50 Ser Anus Frey?
*Aenys, but I'll give you that one considering all Freys are arseholes
Richard Gaskell Hey, that's Freyist, and I'm offended! Stop generalizing damn it, not all Freys are the same. #FreyLivesMatter
Aight minus Stevron Frey, the rest are cunts
HOLD THE FUCKIN PHONE, you can't forget my boy Cleos.
I knew I was forgetting someone, Cleos Lannis-Frey. Genuinely couldn't remember his name
I miss stannis
legend has it to this year theon still wants to know his name
this stannis is the best stannis
24:34
Stannis The Mannis!
I like Reek. There should have been a lot more of the comedic duo Ramsey & Reek
what do you use to voice and edit these chapters? I've listened all the Winds of Winter sample chapters you've uploaded. You do a great job!
I appreciate it man. Everything posted before the Mercy chapter, including this one, was recorded with a super cheap MXL condenser mic. Everything after Mercy was with an Avantone CV12 condenser. I plugged these into an audio interface (though you can get an amazing sounding USB condenser mic for cheap) and edited in either Pro Tools or Reaper (which is free).
Wombie Ferguson Thank you for the quick response and the hard work narrating these chapters.
Ay, thanks for being pleasant. Glad to answer any questions!
dude you do a hell of a stannis and theon.
Loved your reading !
The King's voice was choked with anger
The only thing I didn't like was Theon saying "the know my name". He should have sounded more like Stannis there. I think Bran will rescue Theon.
How will he do that?
Has Stannis conveniently forgotten the Council of 101 AC that set the precedent for women not inheriting the throne? He keeps talking about crowning Shireen after his death.
Stannis the Mannis is Westeros' first feminist icon
Stannis viewed rhaenaerya as a traitor, so it’s safe to assume he agrees with the councils decision. That being said, the council didn’t say no female can inherit the throne; it said no female can inherit when there’s an existing male claimant. However, no such male claimant exists. That’s why Stannis told Renly he’d make him his heir were he to support him. Once Renly died, Shireen was the only Baratheon heir left!
@@Pentagathusosaurus this made me die laughing omg
The question is why Bran and Bloodraven want Theon to be killed in front of a Weirwood. If he is sacrificed to the trees he will join the Weirwood net. What information could Bloodraven want that Theon has inside his head? He does have kingsblood after all so maybe they want him for that reason too.
Also, "Take him out across the lake to the islet where the weirwood grows". Where is this islet Asha is talking about? They're in the Wolfswood but there are no islets in the middle of lakes marked on any maps of the North. Reminds me of the God's Eye.
Obviously they don't want him merely killed, come on. In stories things happen that are not spelled out beforehand.
Jooooger i believe that none has set foot on the isles of faces in the middle of gods eye.
There are theories saying that Theon will be sacrificed to the Old Gods of the North to resurrect Jon Snow, like how Shireen will be a sacrifice to the Lord of Light, a resurrection of Ice and Fire!
Absolutely fantastic. I will subscribe
Even though you’re American, the voices you do for each character are very fitting.
Prediction- The ravens are bran
Is winter ever coming out. I'm starting to think that I just need to be okay with it never been published. Has anybody heard anything?
George said he is 3/4 done with it so we might see it in a year or two
Its funny how stannis could totally be an okay King, even if he's extremely harsh with his judgment but he continuously goes out of his way to piss in everybody's cornflakes, and the fact that his daughter had greyscale means that the northmen will never follow him due to their beliefs on grayscale
Not digging the part where stannis cuts his thumb to sign the contract in blood. It comes off as just being edgy and very unlike Stannis. Stannis is a king, a battle commander, and a soldier in the midst of a siege that is facing severe weather troubles. Can he really afford to be slicing his thumb open? That could take weeks to heal. Will he be able to hold a sword or a shield with that hand now? Could he even tie with boots with it? What if it gets infected? Why bother when they had ink nearby?
Stannis commands from the rear, so being able to fight isn’t as necessary for him. Also considering how he sliced open his left hand, he could still hold a sword or lance. Shields aren’t as necessary when you’re in full plate armor, as Stannis would surely be in.
Also, I left out the reason he did it: it was purely theatrical, to show Tycho his conviction and resolve, so that he’d be more likely to reassure his masters of Stannis’ character and likelihood to repay his debts.
3:10 one of my favorite Stannis exchanges
22:09
28:30 Is that supposed to be Yara/Asha Greyjoy
Stannis sounds like Ken kaniff
I’ve been pronouncing it as Ah-sha, not Ay-sha, in my head the whole time.
Great voice acting
Lol the king's voice is badass
