THE BOOK BEHIND THE THIRD SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES, AN ORIGINAL SERIES NOW ON HBO.
Here is the third book in the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece.
A STORM OF SWORDS
Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage. Joffrey sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, victim of the sorceress who holds him in her thrall. Young Robb still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons left in the world. As opposing forces maneuver for the final showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost limits of civilization, accompanied by a supernatural army of the living dead. 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. . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Frenzied battles. Shattering revelations. Devastating betrayals. The events of the third book in George R.R. Martin’s landmark A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy saga are some of the most gripping and pivotal in the entire series. The fight for the throne is rippling through Westeros, with many key players hoping to win the war—and some hoping simply to survive. Every storyline here expands the world and its characters through a complex array of motivations and alliances that are all constantly in motion. Daenerys hatches plans for the indentured armies of Slaver’s Bay. A humbled Jaime reveals his unexpected humanity. Robb’s dogged sense of honor puts his precarious alliances in danger. Every action in this multifaceted web of characters has an equal (sometimes catastrophic) reaction, pushing the story ever forward like clockwork. Renowned actor Roy Dotrice’s stentorian narration is the ideal fit for this enveloping fantasy epic.
Customer Reviews
Best in Series So Far!
Narrator Roy Dotrice delivered his best performance yet in A Storm of Swords. His range and emotional depth really elevated the listening experience. However, previous criticisms about some of his character voices still held true for me — I especially disliked the way he voiced Missandei, which pulled me out of the story a few times.
The pace of this book felt much faster than earlier installments, making it easy to stay engaged. There was so much happening, and hearing it all unfold made the story even more immersive. Standout moments like the Red Wedding and Lysa Arryn’s emotional breakdown were narrated with such intensity that they were even more devastating to experience aloud.
That said, there were minor challenges. A few times, the narrator slipped and mixed up accents — for example, during a Jaime chapter, he accidentally used Tyrion’s voice — but overall, it didn’t take away from the strength of the performance.
Narrator sucks!
The narrator is horrible! Ruins the whole story!
