If people want a more in depth recount on each chapter or are looking to compare the text to the new HBO TV series 'House of the Dragon', we have just started making videos doing exactly that! ruclips.net/video/KAXssLfm1CE/видео.html
Wow some of these people are beyond selfish and rude. You did an amazing job, I’m sure putting all of this together was no small task thank you for the immense amount of effort you put in for us who don’t have time to re read it right now. I understand constructive criticism but some of these comments are just unnecessary since they don’t offer any suggestion. I know personally I couldn’t do what you did with this video so thank you again. I’ve been listening to the audio book at work but this was so much quicker and easier to follow.
I've noticed some of the ASOIAF community have been some of the most selfish and rude to content creators I have came across on RUclips. Especially black content creators in the space. Makes you wonder what kind of people are reading these books. It's sad really. If you don't have a fake British accent like some of these RUclipsrs are doing or some other foreign accent they hate on you. This guy did a great job.
Me before watching this video "Holy shit, how are they gonna stretch this story into 5 seasons?" Me after watching this video "Holy shit, how are they gonna FIT this much story into 5 seasons?"
I finished Fire and Blood a few months ago. One of the best books I've read but sheesh it's sad. I needed this recap before I start Hot D but I wish the show started with Aegon's invasion or a build up to it. I hate to see these dragons die. This music fits the sad theme of the Targaryen family.
@@videobooks3 Yes! That'd would be perfect. I wonder how far the series will. Do you think it'll finish at the end of Dance of the Dragons or The Boy King and his Regents?
Man I absolutely love your videos, but I honestly wished there was no "where is my mind" instrumental in the background. You're voice is incredible bro and I'd love to see a video with just your voice 💯 keep up the great work
I appreciate all the effort you all put into making this video. But I also have to agree with the people that have complaints, the awkward pauses are super immersion-breaking, had to skip to the HOTD part. And the whole point is to pull the viewer into the story you are narrating so it is definitely very jarring. Maybe read from the book and try to edit the text/visual afterwards? I’m sure you’ve already worked on this but since this video will get a lot views after HOTD ends and people want answers maybe it’s worth reconsidering re-uploading this? Especially since you really have a good voice for narrating. Either way, thanks for the work I do appreciate it.
I've watched this a few times now whilst comparing it to a family tree i found online and it was VERY helpful so thank you so much for making this video!!!!
For as many people that have watched this, the like and comment numbers are ghastly...which is crazy to me o.o this is so well put together! 👏🏽👏🏽 This clearly took a lot of work to do. You deserve more likes for this, fr.
Probably because of all the mistakes he made, all the spelling and pronunciation errors or the fact that he left out important details while focusing on stuff that's not relevant.
@@spiritconsumer she was born during a really bad storm while fleeing kings landing from the Usurper, Rober Baratheon. So one of her titles is Stormborn
@@Thomk121 not technically. Though she wouldn't know that until Jon told her who he truly was. She was never the rightful queen of Westeros. Still Khalessi and Queen of Mareen. Just not Queen of the Andals, Rhoynar and First men, protector of the realm ect ect
It was a very good video, thank you for that. If I may make one note there are points in the video where the narration skips like a record. Not sure if that happened in editing. The only other thing that irked me a bit were the pauses in the narration. I felt like those pauses broke the immersion each time it happened. Otherwise, great job all around.
That madness that happens towards the end of the book with the shepherd and his followers is going to be imo the highlight of the show, if done right...
I like the video. If the pauses in the audio are something that makes it easier for you to put these together I think you could keep doing it if you keep it at the end of sentences. The only time I noticed it was when it was mid sentence. Great job tho
great summary! i wish you could post the entire text somewhere for if we ever want to check something during the show because its pretty hard to do so in a video format
Yup that caught my attention too, I really liked Daemon but he scared me when he caught Rheanyra's neck in the last episode, it showed he isn't to be trusted... Not that he was to start with, it was obvious with his personality, but I thought at least he would be always faithful to Rheanyra... I'm disappointed
My theory is that Melisandre is actually Elissa Farman... If you know her story, she ran from Westeros and stole 3 dragon eggs and was never seen again.. except Corlys Velaryon said that her ship was last seen going to Ashai, the shadowland... My theory is that MELISANDRE (ELISSA+ANDREW=ELISSANDREW) went to Ashai and learned the dark magic of shadows , that's why she can give birth to shadows (Stannis). After that, she went from Ashai to Essos and that's how Daenarys eggs were in Essos, those 3 dragon eggs are the dragon eggs that Elissa stole in the first place, then Elissa(Melisandre) gave herself to R'lhor and became a red priest. That's my theory, when she had to make a new name for her she mixed Elissa and Andrew and got Melisandre. What do you think? Trust me, search the story of Ashai, Elissa and Melisandre
In the end of chapter 2, not Rhaenys handwriting but mayhaps her blood, but it is all speculation on what had been written, but no one knows as Aegon burned the letter and never spoke of it
20:01 hmmm. I don't think she poisoned those babies. Maegor had a baby before that also looked like a monster. torture doesn't provide reliable information either. he had bad sperm and blamed it on Tyanna :/ kinda reminds me of the Bible. there's never an infertile man, only women.
Awesome video, very well put together. Minor nitpick here, but the pauses between the pages got pretty grading. Pretty sure this had to happen for some reason tho.
It's very strange when listening to this and there's a random pause every so often in your sentences I realized that's because you're reading from the text haha but just listening it gets wierd haha
@@videobooks3 well I appreciate that definitely wasn't a complaint I just had to stop and be like why is this happening I thought it was my phone having connection issues haha
Is there a way to access the rest of the A Song of Ice and Fire book summary videos, the ones where you cover several chapters at a time? I watched the first 3 A Game of Thrones ones but then they stop. And then I can’t find them for the other books. 😢
Tnx for the effort. Next time you do something like this, consider removing the music and for sure the pauses need to go. Feel like your reading is buffering every 5 seconds.
So they were all crazy, Aenys, Maegor, Jahaerys, Aegon, Viserys, his children. I've heard that Maekar was a good king because Jahaerys clearly wasn't, peace is important but his treatment of his daughters is wild, atleast Maegor was progressive enough to name a girl his heir, though he was cruel to many people. It's no surprise that the mad king and his second son were completely crazy. And you're right, even before I watched this videos I've always felt that Jahaerys wasn't a great king, he only punished those who were weaker although he did do a lot of good things too but none that might inconvenience him too much, hence he chose Viserys, who was similar only a lot weaker. It was implied by Viserys that Otto Hightower killed his father, please make a video on that, your videos are great.
This is a DENSE book. I’m genuinely surprised people can comprehend and enjoy the firehose of names and places being rattled off. Trying to push through. This definitely helps.
@@videobooks3 wait if it was 12 years before the Doom when they left Valyria and another 100 years on dragonstone til aegon was born at 27bc the conquest then in 94ac or 94 years after Conquest Balerion died he would have been 233if he was born when they left Valyria wouldn't it that can't be right 12 + 100 + 27+ 94=233
You have no concept of how annoying those pauses are. It's highlighting the slideshow nature of the production and pulling the watcher out of the narrative *constantly.*
Wow i thought the TV series is cruel and intense already. But the book is so much more harsh than TV!! I prefer the tone down tv series now 😂. But curious is there any comic adaptation for the books??
It’s funny I never saw a Great deal of sexism in the book and if we are going to play by the rules of a society that is comparable it seems that the story might actually actually be more progressive then the historical one It’s just Fantasy what do a know.

You are a good man, thank you
SPOILER ALERT
Joking btw
Thank you
This was a proper in-depth refresher, having read the book when it came out years ago. Thank you so much for this!
agreed, thanks a lot for the hard work
"I'll hear no songs about how brave you died, Kingmaker." has the potential to be a top tier scene
Mmm, hopefully
That pause between narrations is bothering me so much
I wish they would do a series on the conqueror. That would be so sweet! To see everything from the beginning.
Yeah I hope so too, our next video will be on the complete reign of Aegon the Conqueror
They will, there you go 😊
I agree. I want that so badly.
Me before watching this video "Holy shit, how are they gonna stretch this story into 5 seasons?"
Me after watching this video "Holy shit, how are they gonna FIT this much story into 5 seasons?"
Yeah, we'll see where they decide to end it
I'M READING THE BOOK NOW AND I'M ALMOST FINISHED WITH IT! THIS WAS A FANTASTIC REVIEW!! LOVE IT!
Hi can you give me the link please
Is the book good to read? Like hotd
Ive read the book already befire the 1st season, but this was a great refresher of all that happened. Thank you

This is an underrated novel. GRRMs sci fi is pretty good too.

Thanks for making this video, very well made and edited. Also that is a beautiful version of Where is my Mind
I was waiting for this thank you so much !
This why I’ll always be a Bannerman and stan of the Dornish. What an incredible house of women and men.
Dorn isn't a house. It's region in Westeros. The Martells are house from Dorn. The Tullys are a house from the Riverlands.
So Daenerys wasn't first of her name
First of the name Danenerys Stormborn.
When they say "first of their name" it means as king/queen. So she is the first Queen Denereys.
@@michaeldrake798 i have a really dumb question. Is Stormborn just a title? Her name is Daenerys Targaryen...right?

I really hope they pull it off 😅
@@videobooks3I think you mean bring it down ;)
Is it sparrow 2.0 or guess 1.0 depending on how you look at it

AMAZING JOB! Thank you so much for this. The amount of hard work this must have taken!
Great synopsis...appreciate you Lord Narrator

Thanks for this man 🙌
Hi. You made an error. During Maegor’s reign it was Aegon the uncrowned and not Aegon II (who was the king during the dance of dragons)
The pauses were bad, but the summary was perfect
shame the show didnt start when the book started.
Ah yes, King Aenys Targaryen and his firstborn daughter Princess Rihanna of House Targaryen XD
Thanks a lot! 👏👏👏👍🙂
