The Red Wedding || Audiobook

The Red Wedding as it happened in the books very similar to the show.
A Storm of Swords
Read by: Roy Dotrice
Music : Lannister Suite

[@blooper6543]

Smalljon got some of the worst treatment from books to show. Died honorably at the Red Wedding defending his king, and the show turned him into one of the worst of Ramsey's supporters.

Don’t remind me of that awful show.

Easily one of the most devastating chapters in the series

[@magemyst7245]

wow very few books made me cry like A song of ice and fire series, 1st nerd then his son, then Jon. honorable men dont live long in the series

[@apacalypsagon3758]

That's because the bad guys know how dangerous they are. And even if they do kill them the people they aided will take up the cause in their place.

I'm sorry, but I broke out laughing at "1st nerd." Good ol Nerd Stark 😂

Really hoping Stannis wipes these worms from existence in the Winds of Winter.

[@aegonthedragon7303]

Stannis is gonna take out the Boltons but the Freys? They’re gonna wish it was Stannis coming to kill them when Lady Stoneheart crashes Daven’s wedding.

[@7yep4336dfgvvh]

Hold on, stannis is not dead in the books?

[@UnbowedUnbentUnbroken93]

@@7yep4336dfgvvh nope, he's alive. He has gathered the mountain clans of the north, a few Stark loyal houses, wildlings, and even has Asha greyjoy captive as he prepares to attack winterfell.

[@tuckerbamberg7647]

I think the red wedding 2.0 theory may be where the riverlands story goes in The Winds of Winter. Lady Stoneheart and the brotherhood will take out the freys at the Frey/lannister wedding, or something along those lines. Ugh, I just finished rereading the entire series over the last few months… what I’d give to have TWOW in my hand right now haha

[@MrThorfan64]

@@aegonthedragon7303 Well, he will kill some of the Freys at the Battle of the Ice. But yes, Stoneheart will inflict a terrible fate on the Freys that she catches.

[@MrThorfan64]

Just looking at it again... god, it's just so horrible. Everything about it... it really is just hard to get through. No wonder GRRM found it such a difficult thing to write. And the ending, where she thinks of what she's lost and goes mad before getting killed... easily one of the most devastating things I've ever read.

[@turkturkleton2671]

This is wonderful. Great job making this

[@cristobalvalladares973]

I hear the quality and now I truly regret not reading the book. I made the same mistake with Harry Potter.

[@kingdancekiller]

Well the first three books are really similar, but book 4 and 5 are becoming totally different stories.

[@marktastic86]

@@kingdancekiller Book 4 was awful, let's be honest.

[@kingdancekiller]

@@marktastic86 nah, I will say it definitely isn’t as good as book 3. And has the hard task of setting up another act 1 after SoS clearly is the climax of the first three books. FfC was much more enjoyable on reread. But I agree it’s a tough one to love initially

[@marktastic86]

@@kingdancekiller I saw an interview with GRRM that said 4 and 5 were originally one book, so he split them up to make both easier to digest. It makes sense that it doesn't flow like the previous three for that reason. But when half the book is Cersei walking around KL being a bitch to everyone plus the High Sparrow storyline, and the other is Brienne (the best part admittedly) walking back and forth over the same terrain looking for Arya and Sansa, it's easily the worst in the series thus far. I did enjoy the ending, though.

[@kingdancekiller]

@@marktastic86 It’s funny, almost had the exact same reaction, but when you reread it knowing where it’s gonna go, it does get a lot better. You just know Cersei is gonna get one heck of a rude awakening etc. No, it’s totally fair to say a book should be good on its first read, but I do think it kind of ages like a wine

[@bobbyhall7472]

The freys got what was coming to them.

[@thanosalaarson8290]

No offense but that tv show nonsense won’t happen to them. I’m sorry

[@yadisdis4207]

Theres 0 chance it happens like in the show. We either have the Great Northern Conspiracy, or Brotherhood without banners reformed under Jaime and Brienne destroying the Freys.

[@Argos-xb8ek]

The Frey Civil War is gonna be crazy. It's not enough that all the different factions of Freys are gonna be at eachothers throats but everyone is gonna be looking to take their lands and titles thanks to Cersei wanting to screw them over.

[@thanosalaarson8290]

@@Argos-xb8ek yeah post book 5 Westeros looks hectic. Freys inner civil war, Faith Militant growing in strength, Riverlands are still in chaos and you have the Northern kingdom in chaos. Not to mention Iron Born reeving and Young Griff at Storms End

@@Argos-xb8ek If there is even a Frey Civil War, it will be the most pathetic display of military power in the entire series. 50+ Claimants with a dozen soldiers each.

I'm definitely looking forward to the chapter in wins in winter where the freys finish off the Starks

[@andrewmcgill9544]

Robb was a usurper. Broke vows left and right. Didn't deserve this though. I hope Davos finds rickon. Hopefully the book comes out in the next few years

[@oldhunternadir4194]

Me too, brother. Davos is probably my favorite character.

[@slimjoneslfc9695]

Robb never attempted to claim a throne that wasnt his. (such as Renly trying to claim the Iron Throne) Him rebelling and claiming the North as an independent Kingdom isnt the same as usurping a throne.

[@oldhunternadir4194]

@@slimjoneslfc9695 Yeah, a rebel and a traitor, not a usurper.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

This is why screen adaptations can improve on a book. It all kicks off so much faster in the book, no time to react. In the HBO you have a few moments to sit there and wonder what’s coming when the music starts. And you can shift between Cat and Arya.

[@oldhunternadir4194]

Yeah, but here you get to realize that Catelyn has gone mad and hear her inner thoughts.

[@Morfe02]

No, in fact the show is quickly The book show people fighting and hidden behind tables In the tv is just people dying no even a fight

[@purplegorilla9592]

Screen adaption can improve a book for sure. But not in this case in my opinion. I find the book version far, far far better.

It is much better in the book actually, much more ominous too with all the foreshadowing and back and forth between Arya and Cat chapters.

I would have had Greatjon Umber be in that scene and fill the role of Smalljon defending Robb. And then have Smalljon carry on as the traitor picking what he thinks is the right side in the Battle of the Bastards.

[@norrinzelkarr8572]

the drums thing is too similar to the drums in moria and are a needless distraction from the scene. no shit, there's doom all about
