  • Preview chapter from George RR Martin's upcoming "The Winds of Winter."
    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.

    i find it hilarious and weird that every person that is going to ask dany for her hand is absolutely convinced she will say yes to them. no doubts at all, just hinging the entirety of all their plots and schemes on dany marrying them.

    Half the comments are calling the Martell's idiots for assuming Daenerys would marry Quentyn, when Daenerys herself literally says she would have, if Quentyn hadn't come so late. Doran and Arriane have no idea about Hizdahr or that Daenerys wants to stay to protect Mereen.

    Some of you have raised the point that a lot of my recordings have dynamic contrasts that are too much - quiets too quiet alongside louds that are too loud. With this chapter, I used compression on the track to try and deal with that (not sure why I never attempted that before). Those of you who listen in the car, before going to bed, etc, let me know if this seems like an improvement, and I'll start doing this consistently and figure out a little more about hwo to fine tune it.

    I don't get why everyone is hating on the martels, quentin had to try something or he'll be shamed for returning home with his tail between his legs that's a truth no one can deny
    And ariane eveb though she doesn't have interesting internal dialogue in this chapter her concerns about the nature of viserys' death is not unwarranted even though it might make her take a rushed decision concerning aegon, and I see that she doesn't realize she's in the game of thrones when she said "it's just a game" that's a grievous mistake I hope though she gets someone to put some sense in her

      @DominionSorcerer Год назад +13

      I mena, to be fair, why wouldn't they actually believe that? They don't know Danny's true situation, all they've heard is her being an exile princess seeking to reclaim her kingdom(s) and here Quentyn comes, offering her the support of the sole kingdom untouched by both war and famine so far, and which would eagerly take up arms for her cause if she would only agree to marry him.

      i see both sides. yes dany would have welcomed quynt and dorn if he had come earlier. but its also funny that quynt, euron, and victarion just assume dany has nothing better to do than to marry them, like she’s not making her own decisions and forging her own path. everyone underestimates the dragon

    2:00 "They struck out north by northwest..." Uh oh. Somebody better tell Alfred Hitchcock!
    Seriously, north by northwest is NOT an actual compass direction. That's why it's the title of a movie about a person who doesn't really exist (whom Cary Grant gets mistaken for). The actual direction is called northwest by north. Somebody should clue GRRM in about that.

Calm/soothe the demons in his soul to make him more tolerable/complacent/emotionally attached to her) to achieve her own agendas.
