A Feast for Crows - Chapter 33 - Jaime V

From George RR Martin's "A Feast for Crows."
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.

I love Jaime's arc in the books... hated that they kept him with Cersei in the show.

[@conorwalsh2429]

I get you man , Jaime's story is one of tragedy and " could of been" in one way that fits with his return to Cersei.

[@GTNL6]

George Will probably do the same. Jaime is comparable to a heroin addict: you think he's beaten the disease but he'll always be addicted to Cercei

[@jimboslice6367]

@@GTNL6 Jaime burned her letter when she needed him most

[@notdeadjustyet8136]

@@conorwalsh2429I've never read it like that. Quite the opposite. It's a story of choice& possibilities, of making &changing one's own path, of IT'S NEVER TOO LATE and IT'S UP TOO YOU/LOOK INSIDE, if I've ever seen one. The show pissed all over it. Show Jaime's return to Cercei could've made some sense only if he'd done it for their unborn baby. It would've given some narrative purpose to Cercei's pregnancy, as well. 🤬😭

[@conorwalsh2429]

@@notdeadjustyet8136 It's so open to interpretation. One of the things that haunts Jaime is that he broke his oath. Even though it was the right thing to do. (Killing the mad King) perhaps returning to Cersai is the inversion of that.

[@muhammadmushfiqurrahman8125]

The conversation between Jaime and Daven is awesome... it feels like a conversation between family members after a long time, with all the backtalk and japes about uncles.

[@dablackangel]

I ALWAYS loved the line about Tyrion being Tywin's son, not Jaime. Oh what Game of Thrones could have been. I don't understand people who say that Feast for Crows and Dance With Dragons weren't good books. I loved them.

[@thegrimmarcher202]

I don't know who said that but I will chase them trough seven hells.

[@macnsteez3938]

It's crazy that anyone into asoiaf wouldn't like them, both awesome books. GRRM might've expanded it a bit far and is probably struggling to bring it all together for Winds, but it's worth it for the variety of narratives in affc and adwd Oh, and these louts and brigands who dont favour Feast and Dance...BRING ME THEIR HEADS

[@aryanak1234]

How can people not like AFFC and ADWD?? Dance is my favourite book

[@ryanbrets7695]

Theon/Reeks chapters were the best thing about Dance.

[@junior1388666]

It's because storm was way too good, so feast and dance were weaker by comparison. But still great books on their on.

[@miss.seroton1n]

“That bITch” absolutely sent me lmao, gotta love Genna

[@ChitChattingWithCharlie]

😂 same here. Every time I listen

[@aryanak1234]

The more I read AFFC the more I wonder how amazing the latter seasons of GOT would have been if they followed the books

[@angelfire1987]

Hearing Genna speak at the end, it’s honestly quite unnerving to imagine what would become of everyone if Tywin and Tyrion were to have joined forces..

[@takemywordforit4128]

We need a short story of that by GRRM himself. Something like, "The Lions That Could Have Roared."

[@Chill6063]

Then the series would be 2 books long at most

[@sweetpotatofries99]

If only Tywin had been proud of his clever, wonky little cub, they'd have been unstoppable.

[@tarunsharma4915]

The conversation between Jaime and Genna reminds me of the conversation I have with my aunt sometimes. Naturally, not the language or the salutations, but the warmth between them.

[@PedroLucas-mg5je]

Same goes for me and my aunts!

[@SahilKumar-wb1ot]

Wow the character of Jenna lannister is very likeable She is very clever and pleasant

[@fantomet6599]

‘Tyrion is Tywins son, not you’ gave me goosebumps

[@sergoldenhandthejust1495]

Yeah that was a real kick in the nads to be honest, sad part about it it's true, one of the main reasons Lord Tywin hates that little annoying shit so much. Still stung to hear though :(

[@Onigirli]

​@@sergoldenhandthejust1495 I had the opposite reaction lol, I had real hope for Jaime for once when Genna rejected the notion of him being a chip off Tywin's block. But it made me despair for Tyrion.

[@sergoldenhandthejust1495]

@@Onigirli you meant *have* right? Don't lose faith yet, after Ser Jaime kills that monster he's gonna lead the new Brotherhood with Brienne the Blue as his right hand

[@Onigirli]

@@sergoldenhandthejust1495 I stand corrected, it's not ogre till it's ogre for sure. (It's just that **SPOILERS FOR STUFF AHEAD THIS CHAPTER** Jaime doing away with Cersei's letter was such a satisfying fucking moment that all I can worry is whether it's going to be all downhill from here for him.)

[@zaucyeli629]

I like this side of Jamie it’s like he starting to realize that their is more to life outside of cersi

David: Chapter 33 Jaime Me: Yay!! Why are the lannister chapters so good

[@catherinecao4810]

You can thank Tywin for that. His terrible parenting created a bunch of Zukos and Azulas for us to enjoy.

[@MrMarinus18]

Jenna Lanister feels like a more pleasant version of Cercei. Just as clever and confident but not as vain or angry.

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

Maybe old soft weak embarassing Tytos was a better dad than his kids gave him credit for. Or maybe something about Genna made her strong enough to survive growing up Lannister psychologically intact.

[@johnobrien6185]

[@Wimpiethe3]

More clever it seems to me. She is sharp.

[@MrMarinus18]

@@DavidReadsASoIaF She was more so raised by her husband since he was so much older than her and she left the nest so young. She really pushed against him in the same way Tywin did against his father. Since her husband was so weak she mostly just became head of the household. She is very much like Tyrion in that she had to be strong but unlike Tyrion she didn't suffer the abuse and humiliation that made him so introverted and angry.

[@guichogf5636]

Cersei is only clever and confident in her own delusional mind. She gets everything wrong. She craps on the people she should listen to and favors people she should never trust. She thinks her council of idiots will be loyal to her alone just because. She thinks she is beguiling, desired by all men, she can't accept that she is getting old, fat and ravaged by the cups. She is one messed up individual, right up there with the batshit sisters Tully. Genna is light years more intelligent and classy than Cersei could ever be.

[@jaimelannister1797]

What about Kevan Lannister

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

@@jaimelannister1797 Kevan was his brother's right hand. His brother who atrocitied and brutalized his way through the Westerlands and the Riverlands and Kings Landing at various points in their lives.

I wonder if Tywin ever once looked at who is children are instead of who he wanted them to be.

Tyrion though really is everything he could have wanted in a son apart from appearance. He's intelligent, witty, capable, brave and also capable of being ruthless if needed.

At 16:26 the narrator says "just as Sandor Clegane had done to poor Pia." But my copy of the book says Gregor Clegane. It's not that important since we already knew, and Jaime as well, that it was the Mountain who broke her teeth but it confused me a little.

I'll probably do Dunk and Egg if, in the worst of all possible worlds, GRRM makes no move to complete or release Winds before I'm done with A Dance with Dragons. I really love the Dunk and Egg stories so I'd be very glad to record them, but the main series is my priority now.

Dear David: “Gibbet” is pronounced “jibbet.” You’re welcome.

[@thomasfields5198]

46:33 part of me thinks this line was put in for obvious reasons, the other part of me thinks this was put in because actually tywins sister is the true fool because Tyrion is no Lannister (let alone Tywin Lannister) at all. “Even the sort that come along once in a thousand years” hopefully that doesn’t mean Tyrion will have some terrible folly, but either way I feel it adds to the argument that book tyrion (is Targaryen and) will be unimaginably integral, folly or not.
