Any additional comments? Jumped back and forth between two readers with opposite styles and pitches. Difficult to understand from one to another when first changing. Speed reading through the history of Westeros. Would not recommend. I loved all the other books in the series, but this book was a disappointment. This offering may work in print as reference material. It does not work as an audiobook. Unless you enjoy listening to an almanac, save your credit and buy the print version.
Though this book is more for backstory to explain how and why the world we are thrust into came to be, and does a wonderful job at explaining where the different ethnicities developed, the conflicts of ages past, as well as the ancient tales of empires come and gone by, as well as a pondering on the races that may have come before.
As always, Roy was a wonderful narrarator and has not lost his talent for the series. If you want to know all about the Andals, the Rhoynar, the first city of Ghis, the fabled land of Sotheros, and about the Doom of Valyria, then this is great for you. If you don't know what I'm talking about or don't care, stick to the main novels.
A semi-complete history of the major houses is contained within, also, which is fascinating. But that's only about the first half of the book. The second half deals with the Free Cities and the other continents. Hope that helps! I have to agree with Daniel. This book may work well in print as reference material but as an audiobook it is a snoozer.
As a history book I did learn interesting background information on the characters but listening to someone read it was a struggle. If you're a true Game Of Thrones fan this is a good read but you should already know most of this book.
I've read all five books twice and watched the series three or four times. With all that being said i still learned more about the 7 kingdoms. This book is a great feel in as we all wait for the 6th book to come out and we all know that HBO or the millions of fans out there won't make George R. Martin write faster. This book really tells you all about the Targaryen blood line and all the family trees and the wars to win the throne. If Martin feels to finish book 6 and 7 before the HBO last seasons starts, this is always a new route they can go.
One things for sure-nobody can get enough Game Of Thrones!!!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? However, this book ins't a novel. It's set up as a maester's chronicling of the history of Westeros and beyond.
If you love the other books, you should find these tales very interesting. Roy Dotrice does a great job as always, and there is another narrator for what are essentially footnotes, which works well. You forget there there are two other co-authors being the storytelling is so consistent.
Well Done. How does this one compare? Just as good as Roy's other Ice and Fire readings. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely love the series, 5 stars on all of the books. But this?
This should not be an audio book. It was a widely popular novel just after its release and found great competition by the Harry Potter Series. The latter surpassed in critical acclaim and success ration but the game of throne was also a widely positively received book. It sold millions of copies worldwide and was nominated for several awards from which it won the Nebula Award, Locus Award, and world fantasy award.
A Game of Throne Audiobook has been adapted into a blockbuster television series. It is released under the same title as the book. George R. Subjects that are discussed in the initial publications are discovered below better. For example, Maegor the Cruel has a whole entry dedicated to his life and power. There are likewise smaller sized nuggets. First he planned it to be a novel trilogy, but then the series has been intended to be seven volumes.
This audiobook series takes place in a fictional world in which seasons last for years and end unpredictably. Centuries before the events of the first novel see backstory , the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros were united under the first Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and founder of the Targaryen dynasty, Aegon I.
The stories take us to a fictional world where the main continent called Westeros and another mysterious continent to the east called Essos. Shared by: martin Shared by: audioasis. Posted: 20 Jun Format:?
