Martin is a giant in the field of fantasy literature and one of the most exciting storytellers of our time. Now he delivers a rare treat for readers: a compendium of his shorter works, collected into two stunning volumes, that offers fascinating insight into his journey from young writer to award-winning master.

Critic reviews
"Fans, genre historians, and aspiring writers alike will find this shelf-bending retrospective as impressive as it is intriguing." (Publishers Weekly)

The narration is excellent for the most part, though I prefer some narrators (namely Dotrice) to others.
The only (and extremely annoying) problem with this audiobook is that the chapters are not divided along the lines of the stories, but rather haphazardly, so good luck trying to find a concrete story to listen to. Frankly, I don't understand how someone can organize an audiobook in this way. I knock of one star precisely for that reason.
In terms of content, at the time of writing this review, the book description is incomplete, as the book contains one section beyond what's mentioned in the description - Section 7 focusing on stories from GRRM's later years (such as Hedge Knight, Portraits of His Children). This is a pleasant addition to the already formidable collection, but it would be a good idea to add it to the description, as these stories are of a very good quality as well and deserve to be advertised there.
Enjoyable, I recommend it for all GRRM fans.

While some were not thrilling or unpredictable, it does not detract from the quality of writing I find with much of Martin's works. Dreamsongs does not disappoint, especially for fans of George R.R. Martin's style of writing.
