I never enjoyed reading a history book more. Despite its lengths I was happily reading along. I would only recommend this book to people that have read the Song of Fire and Ice Books beforehand, since this book is literally a history book of the reign of the Targaryen's. So you have to love the world to enjoy this. 

Spoiler

My favourite part of the book was the reign of Jaehaerys and Alysanne the most intriguing and was deeply gutted by the following Dance of the Dragons,which destroyed all of their achievements.

_minucelli's review against another edition

I didn't work for me, really. The serie has a lot of misogyny, but in this piece is all over the place. I like the idea of a character telling the story as a research of a Maester, but the way the story develops is not something that I enjoyed.
Is clearly a "me" problem, but it was a problem nonetheless
