I absolutely loved delving into the lore of Westeros with this book. Having it be written from the perspective of a maester in the world, working with what information is available to him, offers an immersive look into the scholarly world surrounding the Iron Throne. It can read like a textbook at times, and as usual GRRM likes to dump lists of names on us, making it a bit hard to digest at times. Easily a must-read for anyone interested in learning more about the world of ASOIAF.
