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

4.0

Gives a load of insight into the Targaryen's and their history as well as a metric ton of dragon action, battles, intrigue and sexy times for everyone.

This book is written largely like a history book which may throw some off at first but once you get into it you can have a lot of fun. There is a massive barrage of names, places and events which can be difficult to keep your head around at times but if you can just go with the flow then you should have no problem at all.

The main problem I have is the large tangents that the book goes off on about characters than only play a minor part in the history covered in the book that could really have been cut down more.

Apart from that this book gave a valuable look at the history of Westero's before the main series and the novella's.

I'd recommend it to only for the most hardcore completionists of ASOIAF.
