Publisher's Summary

GAME OF THRONES: A NEW ORIGINAL SERIES, NOW ON HBO.

Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martin’s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy that began with A Game of Thrones. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace . . . only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction.

A Feast for Crows

It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist—or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out.

But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces—some familiar, others only just appearing—are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead.

What the critics say

"Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best.... [He] is a tense, surging, insomnia-inflicting plotter and a deft and inexhaustible sketcher of personalities.... This is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien." ( Time)
"The only fantast series I'd put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings…. It's a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don't read fantasy…. If you're new to the series, you must begin with Book 1, A Game of Thrones. Once you're hooked…. you'll be like the rest of us fans, gnawing your knuckles until book 5” (Marta Salij, Detroit Free Press)
“THE MOST impressive modern fantasy, both in terms of conception and execution, is George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.… A masterpiece that will be mentioned with the great works of fantasy.” ( Contra Costa Times)

Not Bad Despite Character Voice Inconsistencies

I have been enjoying this book series immensely, and Roy Dotrice's performance has been phenomenal UP until this book. I've been told now, after listening, that this has been the least favourite book of A Song of Ice and Fire fans, and I can understand why. While overall enjoyable, the book is a massive departure from the characters I've been getting to know intimately for the past three books, and attempts to flesh out some minor characters. I absolutely loved following Brienne of Tarth through the book, and she quickly became my favourite character through this story. Jaime Lannister is also brought to the forefront, and I loved getting to know him as a character better. He becomes far more compelling overall.

My largest gripe, however, is with Roy Dotrice's performance. I've been told that he had been mispronouncing names for the first three books, but he had been very consistent about it. I think someone told him between books two and three where a couple discrepancies showed up, and he really took it to heart for four. Brienne's pronunciation. Lady Catelyn's pronunciation. Lord Petyr's pronunciation. All changed. I could get through this, however.

But then Petyr's voice COMPLETELY changes between performances. Sam's voice changes (more moderately). Others as well. It's so jarring and I personally didn't enjoy any of the chapters with Petyr specifically, because I had grown to know him as he was. The new voice seems completely out of character for him. Just couldn't come to grips with it. I honestly wish Mr. Dotrice had a voice clip to listen to BEFORE recording to remind him of who they were, and how they sounded to keep the consistency up. New characters and the ones that remained steady were A1, as usual.

I wanted to love this book, but ended up only liking it. Mr Dotrice's performance was well delivered, but his characterizations were not consistent at all, and it had a definite affect on my enjoyment of the book. Overall, a worthwhile read (if only to get to book 5 - which I just started yesterday #Audible1 ).

Please Try to Keep Voices Consistent

I imagine it’s quite a challenge to keep voices for such a wide array of characters consistent across each of the novels but one that really ruined a large portion of this book for me was Arya.
The voice used for her over books 1-3 changed completely in this book. Not sure it if was done on purpose but it broke up the immersion for me.
Otherwise excellent quality overall.

Excellent novel and rendition

Roy Dotrice again brings George RR Martin's the characters to life in a wonderful way and draws the reader into the different characters in a skillfully artistic manner.

A Master Class In World Building

this book represents the Pinnacle of the series in my mind with the expanded chapter lengths and reduction in point of view characters you get to spend a lot more time focusing on the world building and in-depth character work that George excels at. Brienne's story is heart-wrenching cersei's story is twisted and Jamie's story gives you hope. not to mention the emotional roller coaster that is samwell tarly. quality storytelling and I can't wait to see where this all goes.

OMG what happened with this book?

narrator changes pronouncations of names (guessing they changed to show pronunciations since I like reading the story before watching a show based on books). it just feels like expedition upon expedition in this book it's really a difficult necessity to get through this one.

The Perfect Time Skip

This book delivered a story focusing on characters that we don't normally get to hear their point of view. This allowed the main character's in the previous books to grow and develop in the background so they are new and fresh in Book 5 :)

slow moving, mediocre acting

The narrator is not consistent in pronouncing character names. The storyline is also a bit slow. I end up dosing off after a few minutes because the narrator has about 3 different voices (which is not enough for this book) which makes the narration monotone.

Please fix audio quality

This may seem like a nitpick, but coming from book 3 there is a noticeable drop in audio quality and it's driving me absolutely nuts.
Other than that Book 4 is a decent listen but so far but feels like the slowest book, George decided to divide the story by geography, this book mainly focuses on Westeros and South of the wall, which means you lose out on POV chapters from Tyrion, Jon, Bran and Daenerys (Arguably the most interesting POVs)

But introduce POV chapters from Cersei, Brienne, Samwell and a few others

Again, i'm not sure how the audio quality is worst than the previous book seeing as how it was recorded AFTER book 3, but it's a noticeable drop.

Also a slight nit-pick, Roy Dotrice uses different voices for Characters versus the previous books, and pronunciation of names are off, he keeps calling Brienne BRINE OF TARTH

Pronunciation of names inconsistent.

I love the story, but I really have one negative critique .For some reason, the pronunciation of all of the names is different in this book, it lacks consistency.  Katlyn, Gilley Breanne all these names are wrong in comparison to the first three novels.
