A Storm of Swords - Chapter 11 - Jaime II

[@JessBecause77]

"Don't speak discourteous of your horse, Sir" 😂 that makes me laugh every time.

[@theelectricprince8231]

I initially thought it was Jamie but it's Brienne

[@Stitchpuppy01]

It’s so gross how Jaime is always panting after his sisters snatch, which is prose is nearly always full of, but we get to see so much personality and realism in the characters, such as how he had always been manipulated by Cersei even as a boy. It’s so much like reading real people.

[@madelinegarber7860]

It’s what makes him such a good character in both books and show.

[@comradestannis]

He's addicted to Cersei.

[@sociopath4121]

Incest makes makes me hard as a rock.

[@kynan1232]

@@comradestannisThat's actually a really great way to put it. He's not in love with her, he's addicted to how he feels when their in bed. He said he only feels truly alive in battle and in bed.

[@Joe-rk9uy]

Very much like real life, all too similar to my own love life...minus the sister part 😅😅

[@sweetpotatofries99]

The innkeep who wasn’t an innkeep is a cool side character

[@paulomota6233]

This is truly excellent. I've never been very fond of audiobooks but your videos really helped me change my disposition towards them. Even though you say you are not a professional, you seem to dedicate yourself to these and it really shows. Thank you!

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

Thanks so much!

[@Akaki1999]

"Things I do for love," now take bigger meaning, he gave up Casterly rock for Cersei and tarnished his name to save his father's head... he's contrarian for sure, he doesn't deny himself his sister and goes against vow when necessary, I like him for that, not being so obsessed over "vows" and "honor"... I wonder why he's so disrespectful towards everyone tho... maybe years of unfair judgment had made him bitter and utterly cynical? Aerys's voice is on point. Good job as always !

[@Akaki1999]

Spoiler: (Really, don't read this comment if you haven't listened/read beyond this chapter) Now that I have finished ASOS and began AFFC, I think I was wrong about him in this comment. Seems like he takes vows and honor very seriously,. Even when he has every reason to quit King's guard, he's doesn't. Also, how seriously he takes oath with Catelyn... it's just that he was tested like no one else, his vows and honor was against impossible task... yet, he gets judged by people who never had to make such a difficult choice, honor/vow on one hand and lives of millions/dad on another hand... It's easy to be honorable and take vows seriously when those things aren't tested... Basically, he's an unsung hero who's also honorable, yet people know him as oathbreaker/king slayer... and mistreatment he has to endure with Robert and everyone else... He is honorable, but not stiff with it and non pragmatic, like Ned Stark... when necessary he will do bad stuff (mostly for his family. like pushing Bran, killing Aerys, etc) he has become one of my favorite, probably most complex character in whole book thus far.

[@clearymc]

I’m really enjoying the variety of accents you use.

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

Thank you! I have a lot of fun thinking through how major characters will sound. I've recently realized that my approach is a lot like how characters sound in star wars - a blend of american and pseudo-british accents with more varied and somewhat cartoonish speaking styles and accents in the margins, including Mark Hammil and Mako impressions at points. Pretty happy with that!

[@comradestannis]

@@DavidReadsASoIaF Pretty happy with that too. Very good overall.

[@sissymav3243]

You really brought Jaime to life! Thank you for your work, it helped me get into audiobooks (and also helps me read this huge-ass book :D)

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

Thank you so much, and thanks for listening! Jaime's one of my favorite characters in the series.

[@Alknix]

7:30 "Begging your pardon, sir, but I see one-armed man" The inn-keeper was a secret soothsayer! He could see the future!

[@Precursor-co7up]

One armed man - meaning one man that was armed - Sir Cleos, a woman - Brienne, and a prisoner in chains - Jamie. I can totally see how you would have gotten that at first listen though.

[@InfamousB9]

David you are heavily talented man,don't know which other word to use,your voice changing and adding accents are some truely special,also this seprating by chaters realy makes listening this books very joyable,big thanks

[@Luciana_McC_99]

Yeah he really is great

[@comradestannis]

He's absolutely talented.

[@mschell8022]

Your psycho Aerys voice was great hahaha

[@madelinegarber7860]

Lol oh good I’m not the only one.

[@WCLCooke]

He sounded kind of like Viserys. How fitting.

[@comradestannis]

@@WCLCooke Very fitting indeed.

[@Seuspesos]

Yeah i hated how his "burn them all" in the show sounded like some bad ass rober baratheon type shit i always thought itd be more like some viserys or the joker psycho sounding shit kinda like happy in a crazy demented way.

[@griffithsbolton]

aerys sounds just like a older and more disheveled viserys, great job

[@Purpmaster]

I love your readings, most of the voices are excellent. However I do wish you hadn’t made Breanne sound like Elmer Fudd. I have to imagine a different voice in my head in order to take her character seriously lol

[@johnmurdoch8534]

She sounds more like a brooklyn cab driver to me but whatever it works

[@InfamousB9]

@@johnmurdoch8534 🤣🤣🤣👍👍

[@JanicePhillips]

I think she should have sounded like a very stupid Southern chick...and that's coming from a female from Oklahoma! haha

[@madelinegarber7860]

Yah hers is the only voice I’m struggling with.

[@BubbyBold]

Honestly I enjoy all of his voices except Brianne's. It gets old quickly

[@chip123451000]

cleos was one of the best lannisters and one of the best freys, it was a shame he died.

[@Biggmark]

Reading back through the series and Jaime keeps growing on me as a character. He’s fast becoming my fave pov character with you

[@comradestannis]

Not bad at all when it comes to the narration. Also, I like how no one is really that surprised at Brienne, a lady, being a knight.

[@birdsarerathercool]

Man, never thought Id say this, but Hate to love Jaime Lannister, this guy is so fucking entertaining

[@JanicePhillips]

I forgot just how Mister Lannister lost his sword hand in the show, so every Jamie chapter has me on pins and needles.

[@comradestannis]

Good one.

[@madelinegarber7860]

Hmmm I like the Airis voice. We never really heard him in the show. I heard there was supposed to be a flashback scene where we see Jaimie kill him.

[@DaveyFish1]

Yeah all you hear is him saying “burn them all!”

[@The.Kyle.Scott.]

Lol we got a scene of middle age, short hair Jamie fragging the Mad King. In a useless vision of Bran

[@aerystargaryenii2565]

Cersei really did alot of damage on the realm

[@thesamejackalsniperthatkil117]

You're one to talk, kingslayer fodder.

[@plasmiusphantom]

They really WERE in the walls, Aerys and Rousart! You were right to be paranoid and probably would’ve needed to burn it or gas it or flood it to clear Maegor’s secret passages xD

[@racatiwood]

"I have promises to keep" sounds so much better in an American accent, as it was penned by Robert Frost

[@BrownRecluse1738]

I like that you gave Aeres targaryen almost the same voice as his son vyseris. And yes I know I butchered their names

[@maddyg2320]

I'm new to your channel. You've done an excellent job bringing these characters to life. Love the voices & love Jamie's pov! Thank you for your hard work!

[@Luciana_McC_99]

Good evening fren . I haven't had much time to listen to these the past week, so since im off work tomorrow I'm trying to get some chapters in.

[@maddyg2320]

@@Luciana_McC_99 ... Hi friend:) I haven't either. I lost the train so I'm going to start from the beginning again. I love re-listening & catching something that I missed. No wonder there are so many great theories out there. I'm just about 99% sure that Robb is definitely not Ned's son thus Cat's hatred towards Jon, fear for her kid's inheritance & willingness to place Ned in danger just as long as she gets rid of Jon. How are you doing?,

the aerys voice 😘 ,fantastic work

[@theelectricprince8231]

27:56 a beautiful line! Jamie is a better man than Barristan simply for realizing the truth of the Kingsguard.

[@TheCbot88]

I wonder if Varys had a hand in placing Jaime in the Kingsguard.

[@InfamousB9]

My GOD how good question,considering Varys helped on Tyrion's escape by Jamie

[@InfamousB9]

Maybe he had whispering on Aerys ear for Jamie

[@brianwahinya1245]

[@Precursor-co7up]

So glad you don't say "Bri-een" and "Tragaryen" like Roy Dotrice does. That drove me crazy. I wonder how he was able to get away with that.

Best start with cleos then 😂😂😂

[@Mj_Jetson]

Hmm how did Cersei convince Aerys to name Jaime to the kingsguard... an idea occurs to me, but I don't like it... We know that Cersei was s*xually active at that point, Cersei looks a lot like her mother Joanna and Aerys was obsessed with Joanna. So did Cersei... ugh, any better ideas?
