The Winds of Winter - Preview Chapter - Tyrion II

Preview chapter from George RR Martin's upcoming "The Winds of Winter."
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.

Anyone else find it weird how no one is suprised/baffled by the iron born? If I was a yunkish solider the last thing I would expect would be an attack from raiders from the opposite end of the world.

[@devinrai]

There's a chapter missing here. This is Tyrion 2. The surprise/shock might be covered in Tyrion 1.

[@victorc8855]

yeah I think tyrion I ends with the news of the ironborn fleet in the horizon

[@TheCbot88]

I think it’s hilarious.

[@ferodrigues1211]

These slavers would never know about the existence of a certain fleet from the other side of the world.

Laughing way too hard at your impression of the yunkish messenger’s shrieking, exactly how I imagined him sounding too

[@ladymorrigan5950]

Yes! Hilarious back and forth between the sell swords too. Character voices make it the greatest!

Same...was listening during a work trip and some of my colleagues thought I was going mad. I've introduced two of them to David's channel..one's already 2 chapters into the 1st book

Dude, Danys allies are unreal Barristan Selmy - The Chaddest Knight Brown Ben Plum - The Chaddest Schemer Victarion Greyjoy - The Chaddest Fire Magic Pirate Winds of Winter will be legendary!

[@AlexGordonMusic]

I mean, victarions pretty hardcore, sure…. But he’s a bit of a moron too lol. When he tries to crack strong belwas in the face and carry Dany off on his shoulder, idk if “chad” will be the term best used to describe him Considering just how quickly he will die upon trying some shit like that But we’ll see

He will never meet Dany, Euron will sacrifice him before that to bind Viserion or Rhaegal.

[@PedroLucas-mg5je]

​@@denverbrown8904 I think Euron and Tyrion will be the riders of Rhaegal and Viserion!

[@alrabbi6194]

Tyrion's treatment of Penny shows that he cannot easily let go of the demons in his mind. Everything that happened to him in ASOS is still haunting him and understandably so. PTSD is really difficult to overcome, I just hope that Penny's gentle heart can allow Tyrion to be the man he once was and not follow a self destructive path. Or call me naive, since this GRRM's world we are dealing with and Penny might turn out to be a spy of Petyr Baelish who is just attempting to betray Tyrion at the right moment and we will finally observe our favorite Lannister becoming a monster just like his sister.

[@denverbrown8904]

She is definitely a spy of Littlefinger. Remember he is the one who organized the dwarf duel at the red wedding....

[@jamescoogan1137]

I think penny is genuine but that Tyrion will end up killing her and that (or potentially meeting Tysha) will be the breaking point that makes him reevaluate what he wants.

[@gaghhuh2943]

I think she might be a spy who changed her mind. But what do I know

[@nont18411]

@@denverbrown8904 Her being just a nice little dwarf and Tyrion being paranoid about her being Littlefinger’s spy could work much better. To show how broken his mind is.

‘Do it,’ says the king, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says the priest, ‘for I command you in the name of the gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says the rich man, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me - who lives and who dies?”.

The second sons don’t strike me as great guys all around but I was howling reading that scene where they fuck around with that Yunkish messenger

[@brandonhall7498]

I really hope Penny makes it.

[@TheCbot88]

She got the Pale Mare, probably. If she doesn’t get Grayscale.

[@denverbrown8904]

I can't stand penny, she is a spy and is trying to manipulate Tyrion the same way Shae did. Tyrion is wise to her BS though and hopefully she will die screaming soon.

Tyrion is such a great vilain i love him so much, i hope Dany remembers not to trust him since he definetly doesnt want whats best in her intrests...

[@oz4087]

@blorghised thats true, just that the shadow of the show still haunts me...

[@jaimelannister1797]

If Barristan survives the battle he definitely won’t trust Tyrion that’s for sure, and Dany listens to Barristan

[@jaimelannister1797]

@blorghised I don’t think Barristan will survive. He was only made a POV to give eyes to Meereen and now that Tyrion and Victarion are there, Barristan isn’t needed as a POV, so he’s kinda the first obvious person to kill to reduce the POV count. And I think Skahaz is gonna betray him and get him killed.

[@oz4087]

@@jaimelannister1797 i think he will survive and it will be Victarion who kills him. I personaly just want to see the scene of Victarion, Tyrion, Jorah and Barristan trying to sit in the same room without killing each other... honestly i just want Barristan to have a badass death, going out like a champ defending his queen and dying like a true kingsguard.

[@justmhr7598]

I just hope tyrion keeps the armor

This is the one I been waiting for. Never been so glad to have YT premium in my life, gonna download this and vibe after my run. Thanks!!!! Cant wait for the Arianne chapters!!

[@scorchinsun6586]

Man I hate how Tyrion treats Penny

[@oz4087]

Im betting five bucks that Daario wasnt faithfull to Dany and plans on betraying her and is curently fucking Malazza the girl general of Yunkai in her tent.

[@hiswayservicesblog9288]

I already felt Daenerys doesn't truly love him, just lusts for him right now. I don't really know of him too well, but I haven't trusted him very much.

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

There’s another Tyrion preview chapter! But as far as I can tell no one has transcribed and shared it after George read it at some convention

[@boysiesingh4293]

Tyrion’s judging Tywin for not fighting at the Green Fork but by the time Tywin was Tyrion’s age Tywin had fought in the War of the Ninepenny Kings as a knight then decimated the Reynes and Tarbecks. I.e. Tywin had nothing more to prove on the battlefield.

[@arsenicjones9125]

Love it ❤️ best character

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

I totally forgot about the "Mercy" chapter! In light of this, next up I'm gonna record "The Mystery Knight," then, Arianne I Mercy Arianne II The Forsaken Then, who knows? Maybe George will announce that he's finished the Winds manuscript.
