    If you like what you're hearing, be sure to check out my channel, where you can find all of my A Song of Ice and Fire recorded chapters in order in playlists! And leave a comment! I don't care about any youtube algorithm reach nonsense but I love hearing from people who are listening!
    I am in no sense a professional reader, voice actor, or what have you. I began this audiobook project some years ago when some friends of mine jokingly said they'd read A Song of Ice and Fire (my favorite fantasy series) if I personally recorded the whole series in audiobook form and sent it to them. Having now made my way almost through the first two books in the series, I decided to join the small community of people who post their own amateur audibook readings to youtube, and share my efforts.
    I have no intention of profiting off of the work that is copyrighted to George RR Martin. This upload is a tribute to a series I deeply love, and I strongly encourage you to purchase these books. You won't regret it.
    Also I should give full credit to my cat, Claudio, for the frequent background meows and purring sounds you hear throughout.

    For being an insane religious death cult, it was mighty nice of them to offer her different, proper lives if she didn't want to join them. What a valuable coin she was given.

      Right? They seem to be pretty laid back folks all things considered. Like they actually take their ideology deathly seriously (for want of a better term) and don't just do that thing most comparabvle characters do in genre fiction where they use a sort of watered down nihilistic suicidal attitude to justify murdering everybody. Like, as another commenter referenced, Seymour Guado in FFX (who I nonetheless love as a villain).

      @@DavidReadsASoIaF I think that because the Kindly Man knows so much about Arya just from a few encounters that either Jaquen sent word of a clever noble girl that bore the old blood of wargs was coming, or the Kindly Man could tell by her very aura that this little girl was something special.
      It is my belief that the Kindly Man offered her different lives more as a test than a true offer, especially considering the implications of the arrangements that would need to be made for a complete stranger in a different country. What could be gained from such work? Either way, the House of Black and White is full of mystery, and that mystery gives it power.

    i find it odd how genderless the faceless men appear to be (with members giving up their identity enterly including gender, except from when the play a role. 'i think you are a child, worse a *girl* child.') except they refer to the many faced god exclusivly masculine, i would have assumed they think their god genderless as well

      More like things happening near KL. Braavos is near KL, so is Pentos but, you know, Tyrion Lannister has to be in The Dance with Dragons. Also is a Feast for Crows, so the main theme is death and decay, which is what the House of Black and White is all about.
