What a ride. The amount of horrible murders gets to you in the end, but overall the story is captivating.

4 out of 5 ☆’s.

”Then the storm broke, and the dragons danced.”

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.

George R. R. Martin writing this whole book about the beginnings of the Targaryen Dynasty and the Dance of the Dragons... and he didn't even get to the part where all the dragons die. Just finish The Winds of Winter dude.
