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.

A long and overwhelming read! Such a vast novel with a long description of the history of the Targaryens and their rule. But I absolutely enjoy such novels and very much enjoyed learning more about the dragon family!
