too many names of too many stupid ass men causing too many goddamn problems. there is a reason that the women in this book are superior and it is simply because they aren't men. so fuck viserys i, maegor i, criston cole, daemon targaryen, jaeherys i, aegon ii, aemond, unwin peake, rogar baratheon, otto hightower, androw farman, blood, cheese, and more 🥰.
also srs time, the book is good, but it got docked .75 for being confusing bc of all of the names (and lack of a map) and the other 1.25 for the misogyny, racism, and pedophilia.
