Well, if you want to know when Targaryen kings and Queens got their dragons, when they fought, what they ate, when they farted, this is the book for you. Fun aside, a fine attempt to give to the S.o.F. a historical depth. Although it feeds the reader more names than can be digested in 10 lives, it is fast paced (it is a chronicle, not an epic) and the edition I read had very nice illustrations.

Death of dragons’ part was a pure disaster. Also I bowled my eyes out over basically a history text book like wtf

Much preferred A World of Ice and Fire. Like everyone stated, this reads like a history book and gets pretty hard to get through, not to mention the unreliable narrators and obvious lack of a Part 2.
