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.

Loved the format of a “birds eye view” of the whole situation. After the “Dance of Dragons” i lost a little of the built momentum and it fizzle out a little with the occasional crackle here and there. That being said I really enjoyed the experience of reading it.

Certain eras were more interesting than others but really interesting to explore the world in a way the original series didn’t.
