Book description
Forget everything you think you know about "A Feast for Crows." It's not a slow burn-it's a deliberate, deliciously glacial melt. George R.R. Martin doesn't just write politics; he serves them on a platter of betrayal, garnished with the sharp tang of wait for it. And honestly? The audiobook version makes you lean in, whispering conspiracies to your headphones like you're eavesdropping in a shadowed throne room.
Martin's genius lies in his refusal to rush. While other books sprint to the climax, Feast lingers in the quiet moments before the storm-Cersei's icy negotiations, Tyrion's weary wit, the sheer, terrifying patience of the Martells plotting. The narrator (a masterclass in subtle menace) makes you feel the weight of every unspoken threat. You'll hear the click of a knife being sheathed, the rustle of silk hiding a dagger, the way a voice drops just a fraction too low in the Red Keep's halls. It's not just heard; it's lived.
And let's be real: the pacing? A feature, not a bug. That "dreaded" slow build? It's Martin's way of making you need the payoff. When the scheming finally erupts-like Euron Crow's return or the Dornish vengeance-you're not just watching the storm; you're soaked to the bone. The audiobook amplifies this. You can hear the tension crackling between characters, the way a sentence hangs, heavy with what's left unsaid. It's not passive listening; it's an active, thrilling game of cat-and-mouse where every whisper matters.
Yes, the book's got its flaws-some plotlines feel like they've been left simmering too long, and the sheer number of players can make you dizzy. But the audiobook transforms those "flaws" into texture. The silence between lines? That's where the real drama lives. You'll find yourself pausing the audio just to savor a perfectly delivered line of dialogue, like a chef savoring a complex sauce. It's not just a book you consume; it's a world you step into, where the air tastes of smoke and ambition.
So if you've ever wondered why fans call this series "the greatest thing ever," A Feast for Crows is where you'll feel it in your bones. It's not about the blood spilled-it's about the cold, calculating hearts that spill it. And with the right narrator, that chill isn't just in the story. It's in your ear. You'll be checking over your shoulder, wondering who's whispering next. And honestly? You'll be hooked before the first crow caws.

Star Sword
I can't thank the developers enough for constantly updating and improving the app. Playlists and bookmarks are super helpful. Love using ListenBook! A serviceable audiobook that met basic expectations. The narration was clear if somewhat unremarkable, and the production quality was standard without any noticeable technical issues. It kept me moderately engaged during workouts but didn't leave a lasting impression. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
