Audio Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE BOOK BEHIND THE FIFTH SEASON OF THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES

NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE

Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series—as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.

A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK FIVE
 
In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.

Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys’s claim to Westeros forever.

Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone—a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.

From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.

Praise for A Dance with Dragons
 
“Filled with vividly rendered set pieces, unexpected turnings, assorted cliffhangers and moments of appalling cruelty, A Dance with Dragons is epic fantasy as it should be written: passionate, compelling, convincingly detailed and thoroughly imagined.”—The Washington Post
 
“Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times
 
“One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times

    George is a Genius. The story/world he has created is simply incredible. I feel like I have to continually re-read all 5 current books, that's how far I have delved into his story. To me they're more than books. I'm anxiously awaiting for George to finish "The Winds of Winter", but till then I will continue to re-listen to the 5 current books and keep picking up little details that help me understand the story better. everytime I go through them, I find something I didn't catch the previous time or I start putting together certain details that help me predict what is gonna happen in TWOW. I'm just super grateful to George for creating this masterpiece.

    Infinitely better than season 5 of the show. It leaves you wanting to write letters telling GRRM to HURRY UP AND RELEASE THE WINDS OF WINTER!!!

    It was only the first half. Maybe just (dreams and dust) and not (after the feast). Either way the book ended but the story didn't. I can't find the rest of it. I don't know what's going on but audio books seems to not have the entire series of (a song of ice and Fire). (A Storm of swords) was the same way. A two-part book or two book where only the first half is in audiobooks. As far as the narrator. Name pronunciations and voices used changes after the first book. His voice is very rough and fits some of the characters but even 5 year old little girls sound like a bar wench that's been gargling acidic glass and smoking cigarettes for 35 years lol other than that he was good. Just sometimes the voices throw me off.

    Sloppy and unsatisfactory with no next book in sight. I recommend stopping at "Feast for Crows".

    What can I possibly say that hasn\'t been said already? The entire series of books is amazing and Ray Dotrice\'s narration brings the characters to life in a way that makes you forget that it\'s only one dude that\'s reading the text. My only gripe is that George R. R. Martin seriously needs to get off his butt and write the next book. My hope is that he has only been waiting because he doesn\'t want to reveal anything that\'s happening in the TV series. I highly recommend these books to people who love these characters and stories, there\'s so much insight into who they are and their motives, I just love it.
