Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin

4.0

I can’t believe it took me 3 years to finally pick this book up again and read it. While written differently from the Song of Ice and Fire, more like a nonfiction historical text, it was still very fascinating. It was so cool to see the first nearly 200 years of Westeros. I loved finally learning more about Aegon and his sisters conquering Westeros. I mourned when the reign of King Jaeherys and Queen Alysanne came to an end. And also, once again, I get to watch each new episode of the House of the Dragon sort of knowing what horrors are to come. I highly recommend reading this book. But be prepared that it reads differently from most other fantasy stories.
