A review by azucat
Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin

Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.

This at first captivating fictional history slowly revelled itself to be a convenient backdrop to write of horrors happening to women and describe children as blushing brides ready to be devoured, and babies who surely had a virile fate ahead of them due to how intensely they fed from their wetnurses' bossoms. I stayed with it for as long as I could but the voyeuristic and somewhat fetishistic suffering soon outweighed the fun of political intrigue and dragon battles.
