What separates Lloyd from Dotrice
There is no argument that Martin's writing style is excellent for listening and not all fictional works are. Some are awkward when read aloud. However, it does make a difference who reads it. Maybe it's the breathing, the phrasing or whatever--but listening to Dotrice feels like you're sitting at your grandfather's feet while he tells you a story. Maybe some people prefer that. But others like me, not so much. It just gets in the way when you are listening to the reader rather than the story.
Lloyd literally disappears in the narrative and you forget you are being read to. The immersion is that good.

Martin is a genius
I usually avoid prequels as they are usually an attempt to further capitalize on a popular series and not that good. Not so here.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a stand alone, beautifully realized tale of bravery, honor, friendship and betrayal. Some of the best action scenes I have read/heard can be found here along with a bit of intrigue.
The narration was very well done.
I will listen to this title again and look forward to the continuation of this prequel almost as much as I yearn for The Winds of Winter!
