as a fan of the show, i was already aware of who and what the great red dragon is. however, as much as i like the serial character as a character and find him very interesting and entertaining, the way the book is written was what made me feel taken aback. i feel like it could have been written in a more curiosity stirring. instead, it felt somewhat dull.
