This is my first Martin read and I was bored. I don't care for the extremely prolific descriptions, which I've disliked in a few other authors as well. It just felt like half of this was unnecessary.

تا اواسط داستان امتیازش چهار و نیم بود!
اما اواخر داستان صحنه‌های نبرد اژدهایان کمی تکراری شده بود که زیاد به کامم خوش نیامد

*** "the rivalry that began at a court ball when a princess dressed in black and a queen dressed in green has come to its red end, and with that concludes this portion of our history." ***
Respectfully don't read if you don't wish to spoil the entirety of House of the Dragon for yourself, Respectfully read if you don't mind that because it's absolutely amazing

Fire and Blood. I would have preferred if the book was a POV story instead of a historical account, but it seems like many people have liked the change in writing style.

I read this to hold me over while I wait for ASOIAF #6, with mixed feelings. it's definitely a different style from his other books; instead, it's recounted as a historical tale about a Westerosi civil war from long ago. takes a while to pick up but then gets pretty interesting. all in all, it's a semi quick read if you really need to scratch that ASOIAF itch, but otherwise, feel free to pass. not as good as the dunc and egg series.
