About this listen
HBO’s hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin’s internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A STORM OF SWORDS is the third volume in the series.
The Seven Kingdoms are divided by revolt and blood feud, and winter approaches like an angry beast. Beyond the Northern borders, wildlings leave their villages to gather in the ice and stone wasteland of the Frostfangs. From there, the renegade Brother Mance Rayder will lead them South towards the Wall.
The men of the Night’s Watch are ready for the coming of a great cold and the walking corpses that travel with it. But now they face a horde of wildlings twenty-thousand strong – hungry savage people steeped in the dark magic of the haunted wilderness – poised to invade the Kingdom of the North where Robb Stark wears his new-forged crown.
But Robb’s defences are ranged against attack from the South, the land of House Stark’s enemies the Lannisters. His sisters are trapped there, dead or likely yet to die, at the whim of the Lannister boy-king Joffrey or his depraved mother Cersei, regent of the Iron Throne. Cersei’s ambition is unfettered while the dwarf Tyrion Lannister fights for his life, a victim of treachery.
And on the other side of the ocean, the last of the Targaryens rears the dragons she hatched from her husband’s funeral pyre. Daenerys Stormborn will return to the land of her birth to avenge the murder of her father, the last Dragon King on the Iron Throne.

Editor reviews
Critic reviews
‘Colossal, staggering… Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome in his imaginary world… one of the greats of fantasy literature.’
SFX
‘Fantasy literature has never shied away from grandeur, but the sheer-mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy writers away shaking their heads… Its ambition: to construct the Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias.’
Guardian
‘Truly epic… An extraordinarily rich novel… with its magnificent action-filled climax, it provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites… The book stands out from similar work by virtue of its superbly developed characters, accomplished prose and sheer bloody-mindedness.’
Publishers Weekly
‘A vast, rich saga, with splendid characters and an intricate plot flawlessly articulated against a backdrop of real depth and texture.’
Kirkus

Great book. Compelling read. Some of the voices: ?
This is one of those books that you simply cannot put down until it's finished.
The only issue I have is that, as good a voice actor that the reader obviously is, some of the voices do not match what we know about the characters. This, however, does little to detract from the storylines.

gripping!!
I loved the TV series, and was sad when it ended.
so I started reading the books.
but it occurred to me then, that I was not a book worm. once I found audable, I was thrilled to see game of thrones was here! I have loved listening!
the performance from the narrator is second to none and ofcourse, the story its self is absolutely brilliant! 10/10 will recommend to everyone!!

Brilliant
Great story and good performance by the actor. Adds to The TV show with more detail and a greater supernatural element.

Oh for the love of accents...
I absolutely love Roy Dortrice. As a narrator he's bought the other game of thrones books to life. Only before have I slightly flinched at his pronunciation of Petyr and Bryenne. The story I can't fault, and with an epic such as this I hoped that old Roy would have used a pencil and a notebook to remind himself which accent was which.
Jamie was south walian in the last book. He's RC in this one. Arya has gone from posh to pish and Littlefinger goes all Blackburn and Andy Capp mod book. Really grates by the end.
Won't stop me from listening to a dance for dragons but according to my better half he's made Dany Irish on the next one 😬😬😬
Oh my days. Can't wait.

The character voices were racist
I didn't like the way the reader did the characters in the previous books, but in this book they were racist. Missandei had an outrageous Chinese accent saying "glace " instead of "grace " and the slavers had outrageous Indian voices. I think that was disgraceful, but the story itself was fantastic as always. This is a great series of books and I highly recommend you read them
