Publisher's summary

Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world....

But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others, a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords....

"A riveting continuation of a series whose brilliance continues to dazzle." (The Patriot News)

"I always expect the best from George R. R. Martin, and he always delivers." (Robert Jordan)

Love G. O. T.

I enjoy listening to the narrator reading this amazing series. His voice inflections for the different characters gives the tale dimension.

Thankyou☺️ Busy student and CNA

I go to school full time and work full time also. I have severe adhd and it’s really hard for me to focus through school and work and then fine time to relax and read. Reading is one of the only things that helps soothe my anxiety and my adhd. Makes me stop and just listen and enter another world. This series is absolutely amazing and has helped me tremendously over this semester. Giving me a place to escape to when all the studying and working gets me worked up. So thanks. This busy girl appreciates you🙌🏻🔥

excellent

best game of thrones book so far. so many actions with so much consequence in every direction.

Superb story line. Poor performance

I am really enjoying the Game of Thrones series. However the narrator's voice has become increasingly irritating. In particular, his portrayal of Lord Tywin was (for some awful reason) rendered as Winston Churchill, which made these sections very annoying to listen to. Instead of concentrating on the story we were left with having to ignore the bad performance of the narrator.
Otherwise the story and the detail and the research were excellent.

Great Value

I just love the narrator. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Couldn't put it down!!

This is the best yet in the Game of Thrones series. So much drama and excitement, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. loved it! :)

Storm of swords

This one is my favorite, it’s long but worth the read or listen lol! Roy D is the man he gives life to the characters and makes you care for them.
