    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.

      Not only that but he suspects Jon was in cahoots with Tywin to get his spot as Lord Commander. If only he knew Jon almost deserted for love of Robb and turned down Stannis’ offer to become naturalized. Highborns smh. Constantly judging everyone but themselves. I’ll bet if Jon did desert back in AGoT Robb would have had his head when he got to Robb’s camp. “Rules are rules” type shit. Crazy

      I am always a bit conflicted about the freys in general, they are written (and shown in the series) as absolutely disgusting people. No redeeming quality just pure vileness. I always found it hard to understand how a great house, that has this extremely valuable seat, the only viable crossing for a great army, can produce such people...and only such. Yes there may be some freys that don't fit the bill but in general they seem to deserve all the ire they get.

      Unlike a lot of other Houses they don't have thousands of years of history attached to them.
      In short they are seen by the upper nobility/Great Houses as poor Upstarts.
      2. It's also a combination of Jealousy with the fact that they wield more Wealth and soldiers than nearly any other house in the Riverlands plus their strong defensible Castle,and how the Red Wedding isn't even thier first sign of playing both sides of a conflict and going with the winners.
      The Late Lord Frey comes from their armies being too Late to Arrive in Support of the Rebellion forces in Robert's War against the Targeyean Dynasty,and even before that the Freys ended up betraying the Blackfyre Supporters to Bloodraven during the Whitewalls Wedding/Reveal of Daemon Blackfyre II

    Man, Jaime is amazing leader all in all. We already knew men follow him to death on battlefield, he's inspiring them, as we learned in book 1. Now, he's very assertive/bold whenever he commands, dude took Edmure from Frey camp just like that. And he's making perfect proposals + threats to Edmure... like he hit off all the marks "small folk, wife, child." All the things deeply Edmure cares about... and his threats also hit all the spots too... Jaime is what Cersei thinks she's...
    So, Jaime's doing all this for the legacy in the end right? that seems his big goal since his maiming and return in KL. Filling up the book of king's guard with great deeds... Somehow making his torn up name little less broken and so on...
    It is sad tho, knowing this much about him that we know, how others, who don't fully know him, assume so much. Like blackfish, he only knows that Jaime killed Aerys, didn't bring Catelyns girls... has no clue about truth behind it all...

    This is just adding to the point 😤. Dammit i really dislike catelyn.
    Maybe im starting to see y some of yall like her, is it because shes SO stupid and selfish that it is pathetically likeable? is that it? bcuz im starting to get that feel for her lol
    Why in the world would she think trusting Tyrion is the right thing to do from her POV
    now mind you tyrion is very trustworthy, but she shouldnt think he would hold anything but contempt for her after she kidnapped him, took his possessions and freedom, gave him to her sister who starves hin and puts him in the most suicidable jail cell ever, puts him on trial with zero evidence, then after he wins the trial sends him out into the wild essentially to die there. She should expect a person she does that to to absolutely positively lie and cheat her out of anything he can (as any other sensible person would expect). Maybe its because tyrion saves her life during this whole ordeal🤔
    And even if she does trust tyrion (which she stupidly does) and he does decide to keep faith (which he honorably does), shes *uckin aware enough to know Cersei is the regent and is really going to be the one calling the shots, if not Tywin himself either then or when he returns. And this is only a couple of the possible variables. The odds are astronomically not in her favor. Nor is karma for that matter, bcuz again she started the war with the kidnapping, fully aware what it would lead to. In modern law they call it mens rea, which is latin for "my dum*ass knew what i was doing was wrong and there would be people hurt and/or offended by what i did and regardless of possible repercussions i chose to do it anyway"

      Tom o Sevens and Edmure had history, unbeknownst to Jamie. A funny coincidence, which I think will definitely bite Jamie later.

    This is yet another reason as to why I dislike Catelyn Stark, she hated John for no reason and really really annoyed me throughout the entire series, and especially as lady stone heart because she makes baseless accusations, with no evidence and utilises the justifications of when she was alive, 'all for my children' and when she died and was brought back to life as 'I will kill all those who betrayed the Starks'

    • @DavidReadsASoIaF

      She hated Jon because having him around shamed her (one of the many contradictions of Westerosi gender norms) and because he was a constantly looming threat to her trueborn children’s inheritance. This meant that she disciplined herself to hate him, to ignore or deny his good traits, to make sure he was always kept apart. It was awful, but no highborn in Westeros would expect her to treat Jon with anything but contempt, much less like one of her children.

    • @oz4087
      @oz4087 3 года назад +21

      Acording to the super massive essay about the Grand Northern Conspiracy, Blackfish is doing it to throw Jaime off the fact that Jon is Robbs heir, if he said, that yes Jon my king( Robb) always said he was a good man then Jaime would know something was off. Remember Blaclfish was there when Robb wrote his will making Jon his heir. Next chapter a few of the high ranking members of the castle ask to join the Watch.
      Its kinda like how Wyman talks about bran and rickon, but doesnt mention Jon, a lot of the conspiracists in the North avoid mentioning bastards or Jon Snow,
      A funny aside Jaime tells blackfish that king robb is dead, his kingdom died with him because he had no heirs( rickon and Bran are assumed dead). The blackfish awnsers back that he is blind because one direwolf banner still flies. I think hes making fun of Jaime, jaime says all starks are dead and Blackfish is making fun of him by saying that one Direwolf (Jon) is still on the field.

      @@DavidReadsASoIaF Not only that, but if Robert legitimized Jon by wishes of Ned and if Jon grew confident and started saying that he's the one true son of Eddard Stark, it could've lead to a situation similar to the First Blackfyre Rebellion!
