My biggest issue going into this was how the writing made me feel like I was reading a history book. I’m sure thats what the author intended but the narrator made the story come alive. I've never seen a single episode of GOT so I went in totally blind into this and was in shock at the amount of incest in this. 🥲 Other than that, the story was entertaining and really well written.

If I’m being honest — I’m not quite sure how to approach this review of ”Fire & Blood” since it reads as more of a historical text at times rather than a traditional novel — but I will say that I enjoyed learning more about House Targaryen & I also thoroughly enjoyed the art that accompanied the text!

It was frustrating at times — not getting the truth of the tale — but I do understand that approach from GRRM.
