A Storm of Swords - Chapter 73 - Jon X
From George RR Martin's "A Storm of Swords"
If you like what you're hearing, be sure to check out my channel, where you can find all of my A Song of Ice and Fire recorded chapters in order in playlists! And leave a comment! I don't care about any youtube algorithm reach nonsense but I love hearing from people who are listening!
I am in no sense a professional reader, voice actor, or what have you. I began this audiobook project some years ago when some friends of mine jokingly said they'd read A Song of Ice and Fire (my favorite fantasy series) if I personally recorded the whole series in audiobook form and sent it to them. Having now made my way almost through the first two books in the series, I decided to join the small community of people who post their own amateur audibook readings to youtube, and share my efforts.
I have no intention of profiting off of the work that is copyrighted to George RR Martin. This upload is a tribute to a series I deeply love, and I strongly encourage you to purchase these books. You won't regret it.
Also I should give full credit to my cat, Claudio, for the frequent background meows and purring sounds you hear throughout.

DavidReadsASoIaF Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting in all the time, effort, and passion that you do to breathe life into this masterpiece of a series. I've read the ASOIAF books that have been released so far a few times over and enjoying it again in this form is absolutely amazing. Words cannot explain how lucky I feel to have had the honor of listening to you narrate this series. Thank you!

@@lindsay9838 That's all they were saying.
There's some other channels on youtube where folks record scenes and monologues from the books, rather than full chapters or volumes themselves. And they often use incidental music, be it score from the tv adaptation or other movie soundtrack type sounds. So I thought I'd give it a try for this chapter for, you know, that one scene. I don't plan on making a habit of it, but I couldn't resist.

Wagner's music was great in general and really fits here, especially for something like *A Song of Ice and Fire* as well.
Book 5 is my favorite book thus far, but Book 3 is my second-favorite because of moments like what happened at the end.
What an epic add with the calvary music
I swear to god jons chapters in asos keep getting more badass and badass
I love the smell of fire in the morning. It smells like victory- Stannis the Mannis, probably

Lol I cracked out at Ride of the Valkyries. And Slint’s and Tormont’s voices are the best. Stanis the Mamis!
Love the extra production at the end. Lmao
One of the best chapters in the entire series.
Great Job this chapter was fun well they all are but it was cool with the music.
that was amazing, thanks
Bravo David!
I CRY, the ending with the Valkyrie music is TOO GOOD Very Cinematic, I was there STANNIS. STANNIS. STANNIISSSSS!
😂 i rehear these chapters so often , and boi am i always caught off guard by the flight of the Stannis
You sir are AMAZING!
I've listened to this over n over but this is the first time I heard this music at the end like this!!! Lmao, I absolutely love it!!!
I found this piece of gem mining in the KZread comment section and I wanted to share with everyone. When winter comes for war, You shall hear no Lions roar. When winter forces you to yield, No Stags shall graze upon the field. When winter creeps upon you from the shadows, No Roses shall bloom from the meadows. When winter wreaks havoc on the land, You can bet there'll be no Snakes in the sand. When winter brings to life all it finds grim, The Krakens will freeze where they swim. When winter sets and the land begins to shiver, The Flayed Man will start to rot and wither. When winter fights to the last sliver, No more Trouts shall swim in the river. When winter ravages and all despair, No Falcons shall fly high in the air. When winter shows you what happens when snow falls, Not even Dragons Breath shall warm you in your halls. When winter comes with all it's might, Only the Wolves shall howl in the night.

love the music 3rd time reread!
😂😂😂I always listen to your reading while I lie in bed with my eyes closed. When that music started playing just now, it made me jump. I thought either 1) I was having auditory hallucinations or 2) an ad for Disneyland had started playing simultaneously without cutting off your video first😂 You’re the best🏆 I think this would’ve driven me crazy had it continued with every dramatic moment in the next two books but this was hysterical and also pretty badass. I’m gonna be so disappointed now when I watch this scene on the tv series and we don’t hear those beautiful, timeless, impending doom notes begin as Jon & Mance sit in his tent drinking sour goats milk🎶🎶🎶!
the north called and STANNIS answeared. The king WHO CARED!
EPIC!
I know you don't use music alot, because I listen to your reading of Asoiaf daily, but when you do it really gets me pumped.. i look like a crazy person yelling "STANNIS! STANNIS!" at 3:45 am at work
