That picture is probably the most most accurate representation of my mental image of Tyrion. Excellent art work.

[@aegonii8471]

dan theman Not mine because I started off watching the show and Peter Dinklage is essentially the Brad Pitt of dwarves.

[@Qam001]

[@SK371]

True. Peter Dinklage a good looking dude and watching the show you forget that Tyrion is supposed to be grotesque and off-putting.

[@tofy700]

yeah peter dinklage looks way too good. for what tyrion was supposed to look like in the books. same with arya.

[@vuyanindzamela7175]

I agree. That is exactly what Tyrion looks like in my mind 👌🏾

[@andrewmitchell9796]

These books are worth the hype, and the show will never come close (which is not an insult to the show, which is probably the best on TV, but a compliment to the books). I will never understand why so many plotlines were neutered from the show, and so many characters and events either roughly smashed together, or dumbed down. Why not tell ADWD over two TV seasons, as the author intended it with all the characters and plotlines (like Jon Connington, the false dragon, Tyrion's full flight to Mereen, Quentyn Martell, et cetera, et cetera). But I digress... great chapters, GRRM is a master.

[@paulohaguland512]

Money. But i would love to see more Got

[@BenGally00]

Andy Mitchell not to mention how they absolutely destroyed the Martell's ... Dorans kids were all missing ... and then they just up and murder trystane and doran .. the whole sandsnake arc was just confusing ... "We have to avenge and do right by our father Oberyn... but how?" "murder his brother / best friend , nephew and his betrothed ?" "PERFECT! oberyn would be so proud" shenanigans

[@leon1234578]

Andy Mitchell First 3 books are great, but the last 2 are meh.

[@RobertEWaters]

The books are the real story. The show is a makeshift mess that prepares for plot-lines, abandons them, leaves absurd empty easter-eggs behind, and is more concerned with showing off the emoting of the actors than with the storyline. I wish The Man would hurry...

[@austingarcia6790]

You can tell that D&D just want to wrap the series and are rushing it. Still love the show, but books especially after a storm of swords are better than the show.

[@Liam-sl3ic]

So refreshing after realising like 90% of lore channels have thick UK accents.

[@1993Redemption]

Damn that was better than expected. The complexity of the battle and who's on who's side is epic. You have dragons, unsullied, ironborn, and various sellswords on one side, and slavers, slave soldiers, ghiscari legions, qarthian ships, and various OTHER sellswords on the other.

[@christophertracy7136]

What's funny is that Tyrion is disgusted by Penny when he's hideous! I love how Rhaegal and Viserion are finally getting some action!

[@christopherjordan2890]

NoneOfYour Beeswax agreed

[@noneofyourbeeswax01]

I think in Dinklage's c ase it is quite reasonable, as D&D and G Aarrgh Aarrgh Martin had him firmly in mind for the role, to the extent that they never auditioned, never considered anyone else. Dinklage makes Tyrion live.

[@UniteForgetLeftRight]

Agreed

[@MissPopuri]

[@PapaEmeritus_4evr]

@@incanusolorin2607 Actually, I don't remember writing this. I don't know why I was talking about "high pitched." But I will say I prefer Roy's Tyrion. This voice has no emotion to it. No sarcasm or cynicism. That's who Tyrion was by this time. He was a completely different person after he killed his father. I don't understand at all why the OP said "The Peter Dinklage voice."

[@buddysmom7086]

Join the club; it seems like I've been waiting 3-years already, and not-so-patiently at that. I agree, these readings of sample chapters are very well done; and, I really wish Wombie would do a narrative reading of the whole book series from book 1 to 5...then book 6 when George FINALLY releases it...whenever that is! It was scheduled to be released over a couple of years ago, according to Barnes & Noble; but for some reason George is stalling. Maybe he's just making too much money selling supplemental books about the GOT story line and collector stuff and wants to keep cashing in on that before releasing TWOW. I bought the whole boxed set of books 1 to 5; maybe I'll read them again while I wait for TWOW. I wonder how many fans have given up on this story because George keeps stalling...c'mon George, we can only hold our breath for so long before we move on to something else that IS AVAILABLE to us.

[@bernhard7087]

relistening to this it becomes more and more obvious that the theory about Jorah and Brown Ben plotting together without Tyrion is probably correct. The fact that they ride off to the wrong commanders, that they let in the envoy AFTER glancing at Tyrion and knowing for a fact he'll cause trouble and most importantly the "he was surprised to see Jorah Mormont there." Yeah BB had already made up his mind and the Windblown turning their cloack was just the 'it's go time' signal. (not saying they knew the WB would turn, just that that was the 'ok, it's now or never' moment they'd been waiting for)
