crap, I was sitting here having just finished the second to last chapter/episode and went to look for the next book/season only to find out isn't out yet, felt despair crush my ambitions for the next week, and now I can't bring myself to hit play OR NOT hit play on the last episode, leaving my mind in stasis and my body listless.

characters are all recognizable and easy to differentiate, especially with the excellent voice acting.
a new and impressive take on epic fantasy. story elements and concepts are introduced and explored that I've never experienced or thought of before

Remarkable story crafting, event sequencing, and perspective juggling. Character development also astounding. No sex though?!

While I agree with the hundreds of other reviewers complaining about Roy Dotrice's apparent amnesia surrounding his performance in books 1 through 3, my review of the book and its narrator is positive nonetheless.

For the entire fourth book and more than half of the fifth, I was distraught by Dotrice's altered voice-acting. However, I have now sufficiently digested my chagrin and have reassessed the new Dotrice without the comparison to the old. The result is newfound admiration and satisfaction.

The most obvious example of combined story-and-narration-quality comes in chapter 62, where Martin writes and Dotrice relates the account of Jon Snow's interaction with Tormund Giantsbane. Even if the entire saga had been wry and painful to listen to up to that point, I would have read it all SOLELY to experience that section of the fifth book. It is a passage that paints an epic event, seen through the eyes of legendary men, from a palate of stern seriousness, well-put wit and humor, tense socio-political balance, extraordinarily colorful detail, and gravity, splashed with a touch of fantastic ridiculousless. And Dotrice acts it all out in a way that leaves the listener astounded, thinking to himself, "how on earth does he know which voice to use when? And how the eff can he sort them all out on the fly?! Incredible."

The only unsettling question that remains in my mind is how and why does the story progress from the account of one character to the next in the fashion that it does?

The bottom line is that if you are reading this review, then you have likely listened to the previous 4 books in the series, which means you basically have no choice but to listen to the 5th. BUT, you should NOT be dreading the experience as I did initially, and as so many other reviewers would have you believe you should. Quite to the contrary, you will thoroughly enjoy this listen.
