A Feast for Crows

Book 4 of A Song of Ice and Fire

De: George R.R. Martin

Narrado por: Roy Dotrice

HBO’s hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R. R. Martin’s internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A FEAST FOR CROWS is the fourth volume in the series.

The Lannisters are in power on the Iron Throne.

The war in the Seven Kingdoms has burned itself out, but in its bitter aftermath new conflicts spark to life. The Martells of Dorne and the Starks of Winterfell seek vengeance for their dead. Euron Crow’s Eye, as black a pirate as ever raised a sail, returns from the smoking ruins of Valyria to claim the Iron Isles.

From the icy north, where Others threaten the Wall, apprentice Maester Samwell Tarly brings a mysterious babe in arms to the Citadel. As plots, intrigue and battle threaten to engulf Westeros, victory will go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel and the coldest hearts.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fantasy literature has never shied away from grandeur, but the sheer mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy writers away shaking their heads.... Its ambition: to construct the Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias." ( Guardian)

"Truly epic...with its magnificent action-filled climax, it provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites." ( Publishers Weekly)

A gripping epic adventure

the characters are so real and fascinating . I always hate coming to the end.

great accent variation

I really enjoyed the range of accents and voices used and name pronunciation wasn't terrible

Pirates?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

with reservations - the story is good, but you need to know the other books. If the only way to catch up is to listen on train or bus, then it's fine.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jon Snow, Danaerys?

How could the performance have been better?

Why does everyone have to sound like pirates or Monty Python characters? Also, how many different ways can you pronounce Brienne? I appreciate the narration probably came before the TV series, but even so it seems ridiculous that everyone has these accents that make everyone sound like a rustic village idiot, no matter age or background. The women are even worse and all sound like crones or idiotic coquettes. If the dialogue was read in a less plodding way, that would make it so much better. The reader has a lovely voice but his interpretation is too ridiculous. Still, kudos for the hours he would have spent on this!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Any additional comments?

Too many pirates & plodding rustics!

The story must move forward in the next book!

Would you try another book from George R. R. Martin and/or Roy Dotrice?

Yes. I'm addicted. I've got to get to the end of this series!

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Roy is the best narrator. But he needs to listen to the voices he did in earlier books, because he has forgotten what some characters sound like, and has changed their voices. He has also got the pronunciation of some of the names wrong in this reading.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Too slow for a movie

Any additional comments?

This book has contracted down to a few characters. A lot of my favourite characters have died off. But I'm already listening to the next book, and it's worth continuing!!!

Roy what are you doing?

How could the performance have been better?

Roy Dotrice, is such an excellent narrator but why did you change the voices of the characters!

I know it was 5 years between books, but why???
