Like everything George R.R. Martin book there is a ridiculous amount of detail and characters. It was really interesting to see how the Targaryens created the Iron Throne and how they kept it. Apparently this was only book one of two so I'm pretty excited to read the next one.
Side note: as much as I enjoyed this I'd rather the last two books of ASOIAF.

There's a family tree in the back of the book. Add a bookmark or Post-It to the page. It will help you navigate the twisted, intertwining history of the Targaryens. This was a fascinating history of the dragon-riding clans' rise to power - at least the first half of it - and is written like a historical record from the world of Westeros. This book could also have used a family tree of dragons because there are tons of them. There's lots of battles, politics, interesting side characters, and adventures. I think it also helps illustrate how the GOT series ending made sense, and it also suggest how Dani's eggs came to Essos. It's a long book, but I found it hard to put down.
I'm hoping GRRM has time to write about the next 100+ years of Targaryen history, among the the other books he's working on.
