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.

Gracias a este libro ahora puedo leer los libros aburridos con miles de nombres y datos innecesarios que me dejan en la universidad!!!

Fuego y sangre es un libro pesado de leer porque literalmente es un libro histórico sobre el universo de A Song Of Ice And Fire. Ese es el reto con el libro. Una vez que lo superes, los demás libros de la saga tendrán mayor valor y significado.

En universos tan complejos como ASOIAF, es un privilegio que George nos haya dado un libro de lleno de Lore Targaryen y de Westeros.

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

 I knew what I was getting myself into, but this book is the absolute definition of slog. This is the first time I can say that I far prefer the TV show/movie adaptation to the book. 

This is a very different writing style compared to the rest of the Game of Thrones books, since it covers a huge span of history and sweeps over battles quite quickly. The most redeemable parts are when George R.R. Martin hones in on a particular few characters, like Jaehaeris and Alysanne and their family.
