Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin
4.0

The book was a slow start, taking around 50 pages to get used to the style of the book. I had to get into the habit of skimming through the half a page long list of names that would prelude any event or battle. But once I got into the flow of the book, it was very enjoyable. I've heard that GRRM is lazy with his names, but Kermit and Elmo Tully?? That got a nose exhale out of me but took me out of the book. Also, I know that one of the sources of the story is a septon, but almost all the dates falling on the 7th of the 7th or other uses of 7 got tiring after a bit. And if we got another date, it would be something like the 2nd of the 5th month (2+5=7). But overall, the stories were very enjoyable and learning about each king and queen was fun.
