Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin
3.0

Due to its nature, I found Fire and Blood to not be as gripping or compelling as the regular Ice and Fire books. I understand what George R.R. Martin is doing with the book by writing it as a sort of a Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire like book for his world. I did enjoy the book just not in the same way I enjoyed the main books in the series. It was nice to dip back into the world of Westeros after being away for so long but I would only recommend this book to fans of the series who are really interested in the lore.

I will say that I am interested in the second volume due to the fact that it will include characters like Dunk and Egg and will presumably conclude with King Robert’s rebellion.
