Listen I just *sigh* I can't get behind a book that not only has rampant incest, but also goes into great detail as to how wonderful the sex and marriages are of said incestuous couples. The only reason I gave it a star is because dragons. Obviously.

Interesting and well thought out. But it’s written like a history text, without a climax or real overarching plot, so it was hard to stay tuned in, especially towards the end.

So, basically men are the root of all evil and everything would have been better if women ruled.

I’ve wanted to read this ever since I started watching House of the Dragon, and I’m so glad I finally sat down and did it. Although this is written more as a history book, I found the deep dive into the Targaryen dynasty endlessly fascinating. So many characters are interesting in this book, and the three separate history accounts interwoven provide a nice perspective about how history is never neutral. The world of Westeros remains as sordid and strange as ever, and the dragons add so much. I love everything I can get my hands on about this world.
