Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin
adventurous
dark
sad
tense
slow-paced
4.0
Reads like a history-book. Might be confusing because of the many names that are recycled generation after generation (HOTD watchers: your Aegon doesn't exist until about the 65% mark)
Other than that is the worldbuilding truly something else. The sheer amount of characters, motives, betrayal, political shenanigans and details is nothing short of impressive.
The book stopped being engaging to me afterRhaenyra and Alicent died, but that might just be my gay ass
I'd recommend this book to readers who like high fantasy + dragons, don't mind telling over showing along with sparse dialogue and enjoy being a fly on the wall listening to the most dysfunctional family in Westeros
