It was fine. I liked the unreliable narrators in-universe.

I like this one better than AWOIAF, mostly cause there’s something about having multiple sources where you don’t know which one it actually is (tho you do) is hella fun. Also it’s a lot more detailed, I would love to have a sequel to this one, continuing the Targaryen line. It also goes to show the amazing job HBO did on house of the dragon because even though not all the details are the same, the essence is still there.

reads like a wiki page as that is the purpose but very very interesting account of the Targaryen rule
