Of course I want twow, but this book was amazing on its own! George’s writing was so captivating and made even history be emotional. I never was a huge fan of the Targaryens but now there’s at least a few of them I really do enjoy. It was a great read and I can’t wait for George to finally drop twow next!

Came for the Dance of the Dragons, stayed for everything else. I was somewhat disappointed with the dance itself, as I expected more (but man, it had its moments. Blood and Cheese, am I right?), but I *loved* the times before the dance. Could have read more about that tbh.

This is a good book, and I really like it, I found myself interested in the Targaryen history despite the fact that I absolutely did not like Dany in GoT from the start. I'm DNF-ing this book only because it is a bit too dry for my taste just now, and because I really want to reread GoT instead. So that's that. This is a great book, I happened to pick it up at the wrong time.

i am slightly fixated (gross understatement) on the ASOIAF universe right now, which definitely helped me breeze through this beast. i don't love history textbooks so the format was a bit scary but fortunately, right now i think nothing could deter me from consuming any new and old content related to this universe. would i have enjoyed it as much if i wasn't obsessed? definitely not. and even so, i did get lost in the sauce sometimes. but it was great fun and i'd surely read another one of these if he decides to write/release it

also, would u believe that this is the book that gets me out of a mini reading slump ?
