#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE BOOK BEHIND THE FIFTH SEASON OF THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES
NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE
Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series—as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK FIVE
In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.
Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys’s claim to Westeros forever.
Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone—a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.
From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.

“Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times
“One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times
“Martin has produced—is producing, since the series isn’t over—the great fantasy epic of our era . . . His skill as a crafter of narrative exceeds that of almost any literary novelist writing today.”—Lev Grossman, Time
“By turns thrilling, funny, scary, emotionally devastating, oddly inspirational, and just plain grand . . . Grade: A”—Entertainment Weekly
“A taut and relentless masterpiece that reaffirms the reader’s obsession with the panoply of unforgettable characters that Martin has created, and the brutal, glittering, terrible world in which these novels are set . . . Machiavelli, you have met your match in Martin.”—The Daily Beast

For those that have read the earlier ones, I placed this third in the series of what I liked. Book 3 was the best then book 1. This is a character driven series and has some of the best characters of any series written. The book starts with Tyrion who is my favorite of all characters of all books. Tyrion is as witty or more so in this book, unfortunately he is about the only main character who does anything and even his character does not seem to have a purpose. There is no plot to this book, it just a tie-up of what each character is thinking. With the exception of Tyrion and Reek, everything else is just Wind. The exploits of Tyrion and Reek make this book worth the credits and 49 hours of listening. Reek is kind of a new character, you have to read the book to find out what I mean.
Daenerys and Jon two good characters are featured in this, but they don't do anything until the very end. Samwell is sent away early in the book, so has no impact. Arya and Bran are in this fleetingly, but are interesting when they are. Asha Greyjoy has a couple of good chapters. Cersei has a good chapter toward the end. We get to know Ser Barristan Selmy a little more in this book. Penny is a new character that could be interesting. There is some here on Sellswords and Free Companies, but I found them mostly a distraction.
G.R.R. M. likes to remind us that words are wind and there is a lot of wind in this. A lot of talk about things that happened hundreds to thousands of years ago. There is a lot of talk about who is related to who, etc. Boring stuff I wish GM would quit forcing on to us.
About the narrator. This is the first book of the series that I have listened to. I understand that this was a hard one to read with the dozens of characters that are in it. But I believe it to be a crime to screw up, one of the main characters and the butchery that the narrator does to poor Daenerys is unforgivable. She is supposed to be a young beautiful queen. (Check out her looks in the HBO series, which if you have not watched you should) The narrator makes her sound like a granny from the Ozarks. There were times when I not only was confused on which character was talking, but I could not even tell what gender they were. I have listened to hundreds of audio books and this the worst butchery I have ever listened to. All of the characters sound like they are over 70, with most of the men and some of the women sounding like pirates, I keep expecting him to end the sentences with RRRRR.
With all that being said, Martin at his worst his better then most writers at there best, so you want this book. You will want to become a part of these characters lives and you will thanks to Martin.
Where do Whores Go?

Part of it is undoubtedly due to having Roy Dotrice back again, but it goes much deeper than that. It already seems that the previous volume was GRRM getting his housekeeping done, and now he finally ready to get back to the real story. I had to stop myself before I was swept into the Tyrion chapter as I knew I would have lost the rest of my night's sleep.
I am grateful that if they had to change readers for a volume it was for AFFC, bundling my disappointments together so that it can be left behind. However, I would gladly pay a generous premium if they had Roy read that book as well. But for now, I look forward to savoring each chapter and taking my time to enjoy what has taken so very long to craft. I am eternally grateful to G R R Martin, and trust that he will invest appropriate time and care with what is yet to come.

So Glad Roy's Back (Well, Sort Of....)

Roy Dotrice is too old to put any effort into his reading and could care less, I really hope they replace him for the upcoming books. A little effort by Roy to match his earlier character voices would be too much to ask, we only have to listened to his annoying laziness for FIFTY HOURS which really ruins this great story everyone has been waiting 6 years for. The people responsible for the narrator's recording and the book publisher really should of listened to this reading for the first few hours at least before releasing this subpar mess.
This book needs to have the narrator rerecorded. I have not finished listening to the book, just under three hours in but I'm so angry with the narration I couldn't stand it and had to write my review now.
Please rerecord the narrator for this book!

What did you love best about A Dance with Dragons?
I have loved this series from the beginning. Was so excited to listen until I heard Roy's performance, was very sad what they did to this book.How could the performance have been better?
I think the narrator aged to much to do the female voices. Everyone sounded like an old man with the same tone of voice. I never knew who was talking in conversations, and rarely did you understand the end of sentences. Run-ons and same voices, very disappointed in the performance.Very sad the narration was so horrific
