So, basically men are the root of all evil and everything would have been better if women ruled.

proud to say i read a whole HISTORY BOOK of the TARGARYEN and their silly little dragon fights. 

i really liked it, i enjoyed some parts way more than others but overall this was a great book. the first 50% of the book was absolutely amazing, then the dance started and it was kind of a struggle for me, and the aftermath was just alright. 

don’t know if we’ll ever get a second, or even a third if needed, novel for Aegon lll — Aerys ll (very unlikely) but it does get published i’ll absolutely read it.
