I never enjoyed reading a history book more. Despite its lengths I was happily reading along. I would only recommend this book to people that have read the Song of Fire and Ice Books beforehand, since this book is literally a history book of the reign of the Targaryen's. So you have to love the world to enjoy this. 

My favourite part of the book was the reign of Jaehaerys and Alysanne the most intriguing and was deeply gutted by the following Dance of the Dragons,which destroyed all of their achievements.

A long and overwhelming read! Such a vast novel with a long description of the history of the Targaryens and their rule. But I absolutely enjoy such novels and very much enjoyed learning more about the dragon family!
