Kinda annoying that he stops at Aegon the third coming into his power?? But I guess he's gotta milk it for book 2 and 3. Baela Targaryen you will ALWAYS be famous.

Listen, its confusing enough that the generations of Westeros uses the same names over and over again, but then you get those damn Targeyons keep reusing names...and some of them are awfully damn close to the dragons. Geesh.

It is interesting, though, the patterns that repeat themselves.

Good read but wish I'd wait until after the show to read it!

Great read! Gives different perspectives, and it's a great history novel!

A list of historical events only...lacking in dialogue or narrative. 719 pages of it. For diehard fans only. Yawn. DNF at 20%.
