Publisher Description
THE BOOK BEHIND THE SECOND SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES, AN ORIGINAL SERIES NOW ON HBO.
In this sequel to A Game of Thrones, George Martin pursues the embattled Seven Kingdoms through a bitter 10-year winter in which good and evil contend for power. When cruel Queen Cerisi's son takes the Iron Throne following the death of its king, Robert Baratheon, the Queen's sons and Robert's brothers battle for control of the realm. Robert's young daughter, Princess Arya Stark, flees the kingdom disguised as a boy, as the exiled last heir of the former ruling family tends to his dragons. Meanwhile, the guardians of the realm's Wall dwindle in numbers as menacing barbarians gather their forces. Set in a glittering fantasy world enriched by 8,000 years of history, this baroque jewel captivates with its believable characters, deftly realized magic, and intricate plotting.

Completely different from what people are used to hearing.
Great Book bad Reader
The audiobook reader makes anyone who’s not a main character sound mentally challenged. Poor Bron sounds like he was dropped 7-8 times as a baby. Any peasant and even some highborn men are completely intelligible. He slurs their speech beyond what a normal person should sound like. Imagine listening to 1000 pages of Mord conversing with Hodor. Really sad that this is the only option to listen to but I’m just gonna push through because I paid $30 for this and I’m not gonna waste it.
Possible fix for half book
For those who only have half the book, I think if you go into the track list you can find the other half. It restarts at track 1 in the middle of the book, and I think that confuses the player. I could do that with mine, anyway.
I’m not sure why people have issues with Dotrice. I very much enjoy his style. Sometimes the voices don’t match the idea I have of the characters, but that’s all personal perspective, and I certainly don’t know why my idea of what the voices should sound like should trump anyone else’s. I certainly have no trouble understanding him, and he has far more character than most readers.
