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.

good lore and history of the a song of ice and fire series. reads like a history book where a third party is recounting what happened over many years of a fantasy world's history. very long chapters of upwards to 70 or more pages so it can be a bit tough to get through if you're like me and don't like to take breaks/stop reading in the middle of a chapter but also your eyes get tired if you read for too long. i read all of the books (so far) of a song of ice and fire and have seen both game of thrones and house of the dragon. it's cool to be able to read the lore of this world george r. r. martin has created and also see how it all plays out in the accompanying shows. pretty decently paced, though the later chapters aren't as exciting as the beginning/middle ones and i found myself just wanting to get through it by the end.
