What a ride. The amount of horrible murders gets to you in the end, but overall the story is captivating.

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.

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.
