"the best story I've ever heard"
just love it can't wait for book 6 a wonderful storyline very exciting thank you
"Performance was hard to listen to"
I read the other books in this series but decided to listen to this book instead. Big mistake. The performance sounds so monotone and tedious. I would get easily distracted and miss whole chapters.
"Great book"
Really digging into the whole ASOIF world in this book. There where a few times when I couldn't stop listening.
"Just epic!"
An altogether amazing performance all through the series, I can't wait to get the next book when it releases.
"voices need work"
performer makes most women sound like the same old lady. other than that, great as usual
"Another Great Book!"
Loved every minute, especially love the voice characterization! A must-listen for GoT fans! Can't wait for the next book!
"Another great book in the series "
The book is another fantastic addition to the series. Only comment I can make is, Roy is a master narrator I wish he had of kept character voice continuity from the first three books throughout the last two books. Took some getting used to but one or two chapters in you come around to the new voices.
"great story but reader has gone to crap"
I do not understand why Roy Dotrice changed the way he read the last couple of books the first ones were great and he was spot-on but he started changing people's voices and mispronouncing names and it was really hard two focus on these last books because of that
"Quality. Small errors in continuity"
There must have been some time between the recording of this book and earlier books. The voices, name pronunciation of many of the characters are different than previous entries in the series. A small gripe at best. I still thoroughly enjoyed both the story and the performance.
"An epic story for our time"
The GOT series stands as one of the greatest epics of our time. There's no denying that. You know if you've already read the others in the series. That said, this is a middle of the road tale for the series. Better than the last book with some very big scenes, some of the biggest in the story, but there's a lot of movement and filler to get there.
Dotrice is amazing as always. I want everyone who speaks to me to be filtered through a Roy Dotrice speech app, and his voice is the only one I want to hear for the rest of my life. I do listen to the stories at 1.5-2x, but I like that I can pick my speed and slow it down for the intense parts and prophecies. It doesn't make the performance any less masterful.
