Well, the wait is finally over. George R. R. Martin’s series A Song of Ice and Fire continues with book 5, A Dance with Dragons:
Once again narrated by Roy Dotrice, it’s a 2-credit download right off the bat this time. But for nearly 50 hours of Dotrice’s narration of this long-awaited book? I don’t think that’s deterring too many people. Me? I’m glad I saved up an extra credit for this one.
