@@jaimelannister1797 I mostly found the Iron Isles chapters boring in this book tbh. Everyone else was actually interesting to me. Just my personal opinion though
@@robertweber2240 Thats interesting. The Ironborn chapters were what got me through the slow first half of Feast. The Kingsmoot is one of my favorite moments in the series
@@jaimelannister1797 I think every reader has one story they dont like in feast, mine is the Dorne story besides the attempted coup chapter, the rest feels so boring. But I love the Ironborn and Brienne has my favorite POV in the series.
and thats why some say she is the most importend character in the books. Grrm is against all claims of glorefiyng voilance a pacifist and while her arc apears to be pointless with us knowing, that she can not find the girls right from the start, she is all about keeping your humanity, the value of female coded traits that get devalued in a patriarchal society, showing the horror and consequences of the petty male pride motivated powerplays and what war makes out of people, who coul have been good if born into different circumstances. . . . Brienne is one of maybe 4 or 5 good people in the books . . . . but since her chapters are not as spectacular as the battles that procede the fallout she encounters people miss it, even if her chapers are the whole point of the books!
A nameless knight. I love this. There are so many people in their world that just go unmentioned. Usually lowborn people and even lower nobility, only get mentioned if they’re closely to connected to one of the major houses. You’ll hear about the Frey’s, Tarly’s and Darrys, but not often the people below their tier. This was a great reading of a great speech.
Depends, one should never judge someone for an afliction, but one can and should very much judge someone over how they deal with it! Alcoholism is not a choice, but also is marely an explanation but no excuse for acting voilantly towords others! Hurting is no excuse for hurting others activly, that alcoholism will unavoidably effect others indirectly too is another thing entirely. Thats an importend line to draw! Just as prevelent as blaming people for things they have truely no control over and most of all harms themselfs is abusing it as an excuse for things, that are very much choices in their control!
@@jamie_d0g978 He says he didn't give him the gift of mercy, but treated his wounds as best he could. Then he says "But the Hound died anyway", before this he was referring to him as Sandor. So yeah he basically says he did not kill him, Sandor is most likely alive but "The Hound" is dead.
This reminded me of Ser Eustace Osgrey from the Dunk & Egg novellas. He glorified the Blackfyre Rebellions, even keeping a shield as a souvenir, but it’s because he doesn’t want the deaths of his sons and the loss of his daughter to be meaningless. Their terrible fates must have happened for a reason, otherwise it was all for petty ambitions and the game of thrones.
Sandor is a very intriguing character. If he were utterly evil, he would not be an object of art; instead, he would be a trivial rebuffing force, a repulsive thing that would not fascinate the reader. The reader would skip the pages everytime when Sandor occured. If you want to display whole humans, you have to respect the completeness. If someone warns you of a tiger, you cannot deliberately overlook its beautiful fur, or else you‘ll miss the tiger in the tiger. Another example would be Shakespear’s Richard. He certainly has many admirers, but if you asked these admirers, they would tell you that they love Richard as much as they are disgusted by him. The same applies to Sandor Clegane. I love him, and I hate him.
"War....has changed. It's no longer about Honor, Duty, Glory. It's an endless series of bloody battles, fought by power hunger Lords and Bloodthirsty Sellswords
GRRM just needs to do a bunch of mushrooms then knock out this poetic saga and be done with it. Feast for crows clearly shows how inspired he was to write. With luck we may get a glimpse of that again
@@lastword8783 He is BETTER! He's just stuck, but i think if it ever does get over whatever it is holding him back and release it will probably the greatest thing ever and will overshadow the entire show. Have faith in the lord of light. And pray that if he passes before that they just release what he has written for winds and maybe his notes and outlines for Dream instead of Some great other Resurrecting his work and bastardizing it like Frank Herbert's Son did.
I love your readings! And I love how this references the “broken men“ speech. Also, interesting that it's in the same passage that he's talking of the death of the hound and his own death. And living 10 years in silence at the beginning of his new life. Was the gravedigger silent as well?
@jamie_d0g978 rorge was the noseless dude that took the Hound's helm. The fool was one of the bandits that were killed by brienne in the ruins of the castle
@@unavela yea Rorge was in the show so was biter for a sec, but the Dothraki with the Valyrian arach wasn’t either was the fool who killed people,I think his name starts with a S
If you're a fan of my ASOIAF content, check out my new book, NOTES FROM THE CITADEL: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQRG5QWP :)
I love how Brienne POV chapters mainly deal with how worthless the wars have been
While I found her chapters really boring at times, they’re so necessary to show how the people have been effected by the war

Man was very well spoken for a nameless man we should all be so humble.
"He drank, to drown his pain in a sea of wine". A very wise statement about alcoholism, and addiction generally. Do not judge.

This his him basically admitting hound is dead and Sandor is alive
He die and so does the hound
Yeah, he pronounce every word carefully to not lie but drive Brienne away from Sandor, smart

"But Sandor Clegane is at rest" implies he died.
Yes, or that he found peace
The words Poignant and Moving don't do Justice to this masterpiece.
"But If you were to ask him, I know he would tell you that he would sooner have a Living Daughter than a Shattered Sheild."
Damn...

As it has always been.
Damn, theese books are awesomly written, the show, especialy seasons 4-8, are a mere shadow
Season 4 was by far one of the best seasons (at least in my opinion) so many good scenes.
@@Spartan-hu2go It's pretty good but it had some big issues
@@Spartan-hu2go season 4 is good, but not the books. That's when the show began taking too many liberties
*looks at camera* im the man who killed Jaime Lannister
😂
@@Spartan-hu2go"by far one of"
I would pay for a full audiobook read by you, mate. ❤
lol let me tell you about a bridge i can sell you in Brooklyn
@@Pine_Hill_Prophitwhat do you mean? Audiobooks are a thing
Nice use of Metal Gear Solid 4's "War has changed/opening" theme.
Was about to say the same thing
most memorable passage in all of the books. Loved this character

Hes got that HBO money now. Hes not the same.

@@usakrana8871 whats holding him back is the HBO money and resting on his laurels.
Late I know, but your voice really was incredible here. Plus your choice of background music… really well done and thank you for this narration!
I think we all would love to hear you do The Books in their entirety
I love your readings!
And I love how this references the “broken men“ speech. Also, interesting that it's in the same passage that he's talking of the death of the hound and his own death. And living 10 years in silence at the beginning of his new life. Was the gravedigger silent as well?
He is
Love the music too!
Metal Gear Solid 4 opening
Loved the reading already, but love it even more that you used the MGS4 music. Keep up the amazing work.

Magnificent.

Imagine Ian McShane given half of this material let alone the whole thing it wouldve been epic
“So are dogs, I think…”
Wow. What a nice surprise
Amazing Job!
I'm still convinced this is Tygett Lannister, one of Tywin's brothers
Who is this character? What is his name? Where does brienne meet him? Please can someone tell?
Love this
Who was the narrator there?
The uploader
Lol hearing this with the music from MGS4 is just funny
9:27 TAZ??????????
I think the outlaw fool would have been scary if they added him to the show I can’t remember his name
Rorge
@jamie_d0g978 rorge was the noseless dude that took the Hound's helm.
The fool was one of the bandits that were killed by brienne in the ruins of the castle
@@unavela yea Rorge was in the show so was biter for a sec, but the Dothraki with the Valyrian arach wasn’t either was the fool who killed people,I think his name starts with a S
WE PREFER CALL HIM DRIFTWOOD
Noice
Why does the guy in the video look like a bald Joe Biden
This is a hidden gem right here
