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

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.

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.
