A review by leonietjeuh
The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones by Linda Antonsson, Elio M. García Jr., George R.R. Martin
2.0
Cash grab with pretty pictures. (Are they AI generated?)
Doesn't seem to contain much new information, wanted to learn about the children of the forest, the Doom of Valyria, the Rhoynar, Braavos, and mostly, Asshai by the Shadow. The mysteries surrounding these in AOSIAF are not in any way resolved, explained, or expanded in this book - what we already knew and didn't know is just repeated here.
I've read a lot of Martin's work and am wondering if he actually wrote the text in this book because the writing is awful and doesn't feel like him.
Did I mention the pictures are pretty? Especially Valyria. Valyria is pretty.
