À propos de cet audio

Now the acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones - the masterpiece that became a cultural phenomenon

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister - the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind.

All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki - whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

Ce que les critiques en disent

  • Locus Award, 1997

"Martin's trophy case is already stuffed with major prizes...He's probably going to have to add another shelf, at least." (Publishers Weekly)

"The first volume in Martin's first fantasy saga combines intrigue, action, romance, and mystery in a family saga." (Booklist)

"Grabs hold and won't let go. It's brilliant." (Robert Jordan)

"This novel is an absorbing combination of the mythic, the sweepingly historical, and the intensely personal." (Chicago Sun-Times)

Game of Thrones deserves every praise it gets and Roy's performance was absolutely stellar. From the cheeky Tyrian to the gutteral Dothraki hordes, Roy breathes life into the characters in such a way that even the characters that share a dialect are immediately distinguishable from one another. If you're debating what to spend your next credit on, the voicework alone makes this more than worth your time, and that's to say nothing of George R. R. Martin's legendary penmanship.

Roy Dotrice makes a fantastic read even better

I don’t usually listen to audiobook but thought I’d give Game of Thrones a try. Roy Dotrice is an absolutely incredible narrator. He gives each character different voices, making it easier to follow along, but not to the point where it feels silly like other audiobooks I’ve listened to. His voice is so smooth and pleasing to listen to. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a good audio book.

Incredible narration, incredible story

He mispronounces several characters names and isn’t consistent even within the same chapter on his pronunciations like with Catelyn or Joffrey.

Some annoying mispronunciation but overall very well done

I, Michael Collacutt LOVE the Narration in this Game of Thrones; Song of Ice Fire, it is done quite well with perfect engagement and the grisly gruff voice will resonate with you, always leaving your wanting more.

Elegant and Professional Narrative

As a fan of the series, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, giving greater detail and depth to one of my favourite stories.
While Roy Dotrice has an excellent story telling voice, I found some of his character voices off, Varys and Littlefinger being my two main hang ups, I feel both of those should have been sleeker, less aged, and more wisened.
Aside from that, I have few complaints, a must listen.

Excellent

This series is a must for anyone into fantasy

As I already knew, the story of Game of Thrones is fantastic, but Roy Dotrice really brought it to life for me. He sings the songs, laughs and coughs with the characters and makes me love them and him. A great read!

Wow!

I’m impressed !

Excellently narrated. Captured the spirit of the novel. If you’re at all into fantasy, sci-fi or just an epic tale, this is a great place to start.
